I'm in 5th Grade and am 10 years old. I love to help other kids! If you are having problems with your friends, or brothers and sisters or just want to talk, you can write to me on my blog.
If you want to ask a question privately, just send it to my email: [email protected]
If you send a question there, I will write the answer on my blog but won't say your name. Totally private! Lots of kids have the same problems so your question will help other kids too!
Parents can ask me questions too because sometimes parents like to know what kids think!
I have a section on my page with a list of lots of questions I’ve gotten.
Here’s a couple of questions from a kids and parents so you can see the kinds of things that kids and parents ask me:
QUESTION: I am in 3rd grade and I just got glasses. I thought it would be really fun to have glasses but when I went to school some of the boys were calling me four eyes. I even wore a cute outfit to school because I wanted to look really good with my new glasses but now I feel horrible. When I took them off my teacher told me to put them back on. I did but I wish I didn’t have to wear them. I don’t know what to say back to them if they say it again.
ANSWER: You really shouldn’t care what they say. You were excited about the glasses and if you have them you should like that you have them. You just should just ignore them at first but if they keep saying it then tell them to stop it. Ignoring usually works but sometimes it takes a few days of ignoring! Don’t let other kids make you feel bad about your glasses!
QUESTION: Hi Alyssa. I’m in Kindergarten and everyday my mom and I read your questions. I’m learning to read so I get to read the words that I know. I got in trouble in school today because I laughed at the boy next to me when he put popcorn in his nose. It was really funny and when my teacher said to stop laughing I had a hard time stopping. My teacher moved my fish to red water. I never had red before so I started crying. I’m so afraid that my teacher will stay mad at me forever because I was on red. Because we read what you write everyday my mom thought it would be good to ask you if you were ever on red and if you were, what did you do?
ANSWER: I was never on red but I was on yellow once in Kindergarten and once in second grade. I felt very sad too. Your teacher will definitely not stay mad at you because even in second grade there were a lot of people that went on red and the teacher never stayed mad. Teachers are used to that.
I can understand why you laughed because I would laugh too. Don’t worry because your teacher won’t stay mad!
Thanks for reading every day!
QUESTION: My 8 year old daughter is having some problems with her best friend. She has been leaving her out of some activities and of course my daughter is hurt by it. I told her that she needed to talk to her friend about how she feels, but she said that she’s afraid to because she thinks the girl will tell the other girls and start rumors. I want her to understand that this girl is not acting like a best friend.
ANSWER: She should speak up to her friend even if she’s afraid other kids will talk about it. If other kids talk about it she shouldn’t listen to what they say. She has to ignore them. She should talk to her best friend and give her the chance to fix things when she talks to her. It might work out good and if it doesn’t she shouldn’t be friends with her anyway. No matter who the person is, if they’re mean she shouldn’t be friends with them.
QUESTION: Hi Alyssa! My daughter is 7 and is so disrespectful. She talks back and she’d rude. I try to explain what respect is to her but I don’t think I’m using words that she can understand. What would you say respect is? Maybe your words will really help me explain it to her.
ANSWER: I’d say respect is kindness, making other people happy by treating other people like you want to be treated. It’s about not yelling or screaming or talking back. It’s about listening and caring. When you see respect, you learn respect.
