I guess moving to his country and instead of making them move to mine would be a starter. What u tink?Adoptees: What can an adoptive parent do to help their child with identity issues?
Just listen and don't offer your own 2 cents. Therapy is one way to get a third party objective point of view. There's also age appropriate books that might make understanding a little bit easier. I know there's adult adoptees support groups and I'm sure there is something similar for children. Every child needs to be able to feel like they can express their feelings without worrying about how others feel or whose feelings they hurt. As the adult, adoptive parent need to understand the feeling of something missing is a real thing and should they should be supportive in their child's quest for seeking the truth (that is assuming the child is old enough to ';handle'; the truth and whether or not knowing the truth right now (as opposed to being older with a little more perspective) would be detrimental to their well being.Adoptees: What can an adoptive parent do to help their child with identity issues?
So far, all of these suggestions are good. I would also suggest it be mandatory that all a p's read ';Twenty Five Things Adoptees Wished Their Adoptive Parents Knew';. (in a perfect world, lol)
There are tips to help with exploring the child's heritage, in addition to many other very valuable things to help a child.
If this book would have been around when I was adopted (bse) my life would have been dramatically different. It's a great read for all a p's and adoptees.
Listen with an open mind and open heart and realize that the questions we might have don't have anything to do with you personally.
Research my heritage so you are equipped enough to answer the questions I ask you about it in an educated way.
Be open to any kind of feelings I might have about my identity, good or bad. Don't judge how I feel or take it personally.
Counseling might help in a lot of situations.
Let them explore their background. A lot of times adoptive parents know at least the nationality of the child they adopt, a lot of times that can help. Because if a child is free to explore their own nationality and be a part of that group of people, they feel much more connected to who they are.
Don't discourage them. Don't imply that they are selfish for wanting to confront the facts. Maybe even develop an honest interest in the heritage of your own child. Be supportive. Don't treat them as if they are being disrespectful toward you by trying to show respect to the blood that courses through their veins. Etc.
Be willing to pass along information, about heritage, culture, parental traits, something that the adoptee may be able to identify themselves in. Be a part in researching, and discovering things about their culture and history.
LISTEN TO THEM! Actually listen, hold them when it is overwhelming, talk about where they came from, initiate conversation and know when to give them a hug and call it a night.
Find their mother for them.

How would you ask your parent that you need a training bra?
I am ten years old and so is my cousin and she doen't know how to ask her mom to get her a training bra. What should she do? How would you ask your parent that you need a training bra?

A friend of mine's daughter is very shy and any mention of boys, breasts...anything, would turn her face beet red with embarrassment %26amp; she would run from the room.
Since it was so embarrassing %26amp; hard for her to tell her mom that it was time to start shopping for a bra, she went into the kitchen, placed 2 grapefruits in her shirt and stood in front of her mom. They went shopping the next day.
...just ask. if you need one shell understand. everygirl is intitled to a bra even if she doesnt need one, just so she can be more comfortable.
... screw training bra
your parents would prolly know if you needed one.
just wait til you get boobs then go to victoria scecret or whatever and get something.
say mom all the girls at school are starting to wear bras...can i get one.
or simply say i wanna start wearing a bra

How much involvement should a parent have with his child's entry into/start of grad school?
It depend where the money is coming from. If your parents are financially supporting you through school, and/or are paying for your schooling, it would behoove you to let them be involved with decisions. I, on the other hand, have nothing to do with my parents, and would not allow them to have anything to do with my school decisions.
If you are somewhere in between, I would allow them to have a say, but not necessarily follow their recommendations. Do what you see as fit, because it is your life. Eventually they will have to let go and allow you to make your own decisions.
I guess it really depends on the situation.
I hope this helps!How much involvement should a parent have with his child's entry into/start of grad school?
by the time i got to grad school, i was no longer a child (i was 23).
i appreciated my parents' advice and suggestions, but the decision was mine alone (especially since i was paying for it).

How can you get a parent to not claim her 23 yr old child in taxes? She's a full-time student and worker?
My friend is a 23 year old full-time student/worker that has a money hungry mother. Her mother will do anything to get money back for taxes. She lives with her mother and her mother doesn't do anything for her financially. When she went to file her taxes this year (Jan 2008) she had to pay back a lot of taxes because her mother claimed her. What can she possibly do so her mother will not claim her?How can you get a parent to not claim her 23 yr old child in taxes? She's a full-time student and worker?
Your friend is probably unaware how much support her mother *does* provide. Her share of housing, utilities and food is probably MUCH more than she realizes.
Her mother is also probably unaware of how much the total support was for her daughter.
Both of them need to know the answer BEFORE they file. My dad and I would sit down and do the math each year --in September--because he was determined to claim my exemption. My job, partial scholarship and loans made it iffy. (I would be told exactly how much I had to put into savings!)
Tell your friend to get IRS pub 501 and do the support test worksheet on page 20. Either she supported herself or she didn't. IF she did support herself, she DOES get to claim herself.
As for last year's taxes, it's not an issue of who filed first, it's who did their taxes right. If she's eligible and can't efile because the Number was already used, then she needed to file by MAIL. The IRS will resolve the duplciate issue.How can you get a parent to not claim her 23 yr old child in taxes? She's a full-time student and worker?
Well, if she still lives at home, then mother deserves that exemption. Now if your friend pays rent to the mother, does her own wash, cleans the areas she uses, buys her own food and prepares it herself, then she should claim herself. If the furnace goes out does your friend offer to arrange for a repairman to look at it and after the repairs pay the bill? Don't think so! A 23 year old should be able to figure this out using common sense.
She could move out and pay more than half of her own expenses. While she is living with her parent, and is a full-time student under age 24, the IRS is going to assume she is a dependent.
If your friend can document that she paid for over half of her own support, she can claim herself. Otherwise, her mother claims her.
the law says that only the person who CAN claim the dependent MAY claim the dependent.
so if your mom legally can claim you oops i mean your friend, then there is nothing your friend can do.
Did she pay all her own support? If she did then she just files her own taxes. The IRS will see 2 returns with the same ss number and will investigate.
if your friend files her own taxes its illegal for her mother to claim her

What do you get a parent when they graduate college- getting their masters degree in?

You should be as thoughtful as you can. It doesn't have to be expensive. At the very least a gorgeous card, either hand made or from the store. Maybe a gift card for somewhere the two of you could go out together or a homemade coupon for cooking a fabulous dinner for the parent and family.What do you get a parent when they graduate college- getting their masters degree in?
You could put a picture of you and your mom/dad on their graduation day in their cap and gown in a nice frame. Make them a homemade card saying how proud of them you are. Since they probably encourage you all the time, it's your turn to encourage them back!
I would get something specific to their job or their goals. Just something to help them on their way, as they either start their new job, or move up in position, or whatever they're going to be doing with their Masters.

How many chromosomes does each parent donate to the next generation?
How many chromosomes does each parent donate to the next generation?How many chromosomes does each parent donate to the next generation?
Since humans have 46 chromosomes, and the parent organisms each give half of their chromosomes to their offspring, then each human parent would give 23 chromosomes.
It varies for other organisms; basically, you take the number of chromosomes in a regular (diploid) cell and divide it by two.
In sexually reproducing organisms, the 23 (for humans) chromosomes to be passed on the the next generation are held inside gametes, or sex cells. For males, this is the sperm cell, and for females, this is the egg cell. When the egg and sperm meet, the 23 chromosomes from each cell recombine to form a single cell with 46 chromosomes, which is called a gamete and divides many times to produce a baby.
I hope that helps!!How many chromosomes does each parent donate to the next generation?
Each parent donates the haploid number, which is 23, and that totals to 46 chromosomes in the child. The 23 chromosomes cannot be chosen they are completely random genes that get passed down and paired up for the new child.
the haploid number , that means half of the parents chromosomes.

At what age can a parent legally throw out a teenager in England?
The question is in the title. If you can provide me with the exact law to back up your answer that would be great, but it is not necessary.At what age can a parent legally throw out a teenager in England?
18
In Scotland it is 16At what age can a parent legally throw out a teenager in England?
plan on throwing your kid out? haha
well 18 is when the child (or teenager) is classed as an adult, they have to pay tax and have to fend for themselves.
I would assume at 18 years of age but you need to be aware that you have to give notice of eviction just like if it was a rental agreement.
