Do children behave better when their homes are neat and clean?
Q. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, since we asked my MIL for advice about helping our 2 year old sleep. She said something to the effect of "Make sure your house is clean, make sure (your child) is clean..." So, what do you think? Do children (small children specifically) behave better, act happier, and sleep better when their homes are neat and clean? What degree of cleanliness or messiness would make the difference?

A. i agree that parenting has everything to do with better behaved children. Your MIL may be referring to Qi and Feng-Shui (without realizing) That when things are in order, the energy or Qi should flow unobstructed and there is little or no displaced (misplaced) or blocked energy flow. I once had a sleepless night and I'm sure it was the energy from a big pile of unfolded clothes left in the middle of the room that night. A good parent is in control of her children even when she is not present.

Should children be allowed to grow in tribal communities with huts and no education, in civilized countries?
Q. In tribes, where parents and children share and sleep on the floor, inside a single small hut. There's no modern appliances, nor water pipes or electricity, no real medicine, nor real education. Or should the parents be forced to move to a decent modern place or forced to at least send their children to school or have their kids taken away? A single hut, also means in some tribes or cultures, that love is made between both parents at night in that hut regardless of company.

A. And who are YOU to decide to wipe out the way of life, and culture, of a people you can't even understand? Forcing parents in such tribes ( and there are so very few of them left in the world nowadays) to move away from the only home and life they have ever known, just so you could be satisfied that their kids are going to grow up in what you THINK is a "normal" environment, is tantamount to cultural genocide, Darian. Most of these parents could not survive in the modern world without special help and support- the world they were born into and grew up in is the only one they know. Doing what you suggest would mean that these people inevitably become burdens on the government and taxpayers of whatever country they live in. Plus, has it ever… [cont.]

Is it neighbourly to allow children to beat a ball against other peoples housesfor hours?
Q. A neighbour allows their children to be foul mouthed and total bullies to other children and all and sundry. The kids will slam balls against windows, doors, gates, trample over people's gardens. Is this acceptable behaviour? If we ask them to stop, they get worse, what would you do in this situation? Are the parents of naughty children who stand by and laugh or goad them even, responsible role models or anti-social people with malice?
