i was thinking about getting the in-room mickey and pals birthday celebration for my daughter who is turning 9. i wanted to see if it is worth the price?
hi misty! i love the in-room celebrations! they are amazing and so much fun to experience! the dream makers really go all out to make the celebrations special, and i think are well worth the money. i think your daughter is just going to love it! tell your daughter happy birthday from me! have a magical vacation! amanda
im 14 2 so well first not all parents realise this i dunno if u do bt shes 14 not 4 no embarrasing stuff or anything! a dance well easy! the key: rly good loud music and lots of space to dance. have a table with drinks n food and maybe one or two chairs if people get tired, not to many or theyll all just sit down. u could get some disco type lights that'd b cool. my advice from experience i would but this in bold but cant repeat after this::::::: i will not under any circumstances embarrase my daughter in front of her friends, and i will stay 100 meters (or so) away from the dancing area at all times unless someone is dying or the food and drink has run out!:::::::: if you follow this i think it will be ok. so well food: finger food i dunno crisps (chips for the americans), emmmm i dont really know just ask your daughter what she likes and what will be good. decor: simple no happy birthday banners and clown hats. disco type lights would be good, emm make sure its cool in the room or people will boil to death! music: well the music in the charts and stuff go to a downloading program like www,limewire.com and download the songs you need, put them on a cd and play it on the stereo veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy loud! guests: make sure both guys and girls come if not it is no fun at all. as invites the coolest thing is just simple computer printed invites with the time, location and reason for the party. time: make sure its kinda late its no fun at 3! lets say 7-10 or so late is cool unless no parents allow that late so do 6-9 no 3-5 partys!!! so i hope that helped happy birthday 2 em and have fun with the party!!!!!! Yes, I do and so do my Daughters. a 9 year old girl should weigh about 65-80 pounds it is a good option answer: `1.00` your picks are not appropriate at all for a wedding, or even someone your age. it's a formal event, not a night club. i agree that your mom's choice isn't cute, but it works for a wedding. if you want to be allowed to choose your own outfit, then you need to comprimise and show her something more conservative. as with anything, depends on the girl. some like it, some tolerate it, some hate the year was drawing to a close. it was a cold winter night. after a tedious and exciting day, the kids were tucked into bed, now all sound asleep. we were awaiting the arrival of a new one into the family. soon all the adults in the house also retired to bed after wrapping up the chores. in the middle of the night, michael heard a thudding sound. someone was running down the steps. michael switched on the lights. soon many hurried footsteps could be heard. mia was in pain! amidst all the worry and rush, everyone’s heart was also beating with elation. michael seated mia in the car and we all followed. the whole family had been waiting for this moment for nine months! in the hospital, we had to wait impatiently for quite a few hours. poor mia’s screams were getting higher. but no one forgot the night when mia’s final scream got replaced by a newborn’s. everyone’s eyes were watering with boundless joy. we had got a beautiful baby girl for the family. A.  You are right to be concerned. It sounds like your daughter has been increasingly isolating herself. Although successful in that she goes to school, her friendship circle is very limited for someone her age. Although it’s not unusual for people to talk through problems or to review their day with themselves in the privacy of the bathroom or their own room, your report that she may be punishing herself by screaming and slapping isn’t typical or okay.


Sometimes our kids can’t tell us what is troubling them so they consciously or unconsciously leave hints around so that we’ll find them. Kids sometimes “accidentally” leave a diary open where we’ll find it or “accidentally” leave a distressing email open on the family computer, for example. It’s their way of sending out a distress signal without having to quite take responsibility for doing so.



I’m guessing your daughter’s lengthy time in the bathroom is something like that. On some level she knows that you will be concerned about a two-hour stay in there.


It’s past time for you to respond to the signal. Find a therapist who specializes in young adults. Ask your doctor for a referral or click on the “Find Help” tab on the PsychCentral homepage. There may also be a behavioral health clinic at her college. Brief the therapist on the phone and ask for some guidance about how to get your daughter to go in. (Sometimes it’s helpful if a parent goes to part of the first session.) 


Then, in a loving way, let your daughter know how concerned you are. Tell her that you know that she is upset and that you want to help. Reassure her that she doesn’t deserve to be punished by herself or by anyone else – no matter what. Insist that she see the counselor. Tell her you are willing to go with her. Don’t argue. Don’t get mad. Stay in that loving, concerned place.


[Parenting](https://psychcentral.com/lib/category/parenting/) doesn’t end because a child is at the age to start leaving home. We all have to figure out when to let go and when to still pull the “parent card.” In this situation, your daughter is telling you without words that she needs you to be a mom. Please follow through. She sounds like she really needs help.


I wish you well.

Daughter Talks to Herself no, they were just kids, and he could have taken his car to the car wash for $10.00. this will end up costing him a whole lot more money in legal fees, his freedom, and maybe his life. what is shocking is the comments below the article. they all seem to think that it was okay to kill the kids for tp-ing his car. who hasn't done that when they were an adolescent.
