anybody got kids, past or present i got questions

Matt your lucky you have them young and moldable. Like MeMike said I believe todays kids are being chemically poisoned from several sources. A lot of things you don't even think about. Eliminate as much sugar as you can from their diets. Not just the obvious like candy but all the soft and fruit drinks along with all the sugared cereal. Eliminate all the artificial preservatives. Read package labels don't feed them anything with MSG in it. Don't let them have any caffeine. Cut back on the fast food of all kinds even the stuff thats advertised as "good" for kids. You or the wife can drink a coke and not have it bother you but little kids can't handle the caffeine or sugar. Attention disorders misbehaviour and acting out are mostly attributed to diet, lack of excercise, staying up late and not sleeping well. You cant modify their behaviour over night but slowly you'll notice changes. I do disagree about corporal punishment though. Beating a child won't solve any problems. My advise is worth exactly what you paid for it. Dan
