he isn't really fat right now,but all of his close cousins are. he just started playing football and he loves it. would like to see him gain muscle mass instead of fat. he is a bit taller and bigger than most 7 year olds and much stronger. just want to use this oppertunity to motivate him to get healthier. thank you.

Answer
You can't speed up his metabolism. You can teach him a healthy life style. Eating a healthy diet, limit snacks, no soda, exercising on a regular basis, etc. At his age, all you really need to do as for as exercising is limit indoor time. Have the kid outside playing. Riding a bike, swimming, or even just playing with other kids can keep a kid in good shape.

How do I deal with obnoxious, badly behaved neighborhood kids?

My family recently relocated to a new area. We chose a house we loved and everything was great until a couple of months ago. I have one 7 year old son who I love dearly but I really don't like children at all. I don't mind children as much when they have good manners and you can tell that their parents took the time to be good parents.
I have a couple neighbors with really bratty, rude kids. They are always messing with stuff on my property, touching our cars, and trying to take stuff that's outside that doesn't belong to them. There are absolutely no boundaries. I've given them the rules of our house and when they are on our property but it's completely disregarded. Recently they just started trying to come into my house whenever. I try to make sure the doors are always locked but sometimes it's necessary to leave one unlocked if someone is outside doing something. They do still try and get in when the doors are locked though. I walked into my living room the other day and found two kids jumping on my couch trying to figure out how to get my TV to turn on. I just about flipped out and wanted to scream at them. These kids completely ruin my son's time when he goes out to play with other friends. I want him to be able to play outside but I don't need a kid ringing my doorbell (20 times in a row) and "telling" because my son won't let them ride his bike or play with his toys, etc. If I wanted to listen to kids tattle on one another for no reason I would have had more than one. I don't want to be the bitchy mean lady in the neighborhood but my patience is completely gone. I find myself hardly able to address them without sounding really mean anymore. I have tired to talk to the other parents about how it's not okay for them to just come in our house or mess with our stuff, but the only thing that changed is that they aren't as nice when they see us. It's obvious to me that they consistently send they're kids out every day to roam the neighborhood because they don't want to deal with them at home. Who let's 6 and 7 year old kids play completely unsupervised (you can't see my house from their house so I know the parents aren't watching them)?
Any ideas on how I can deal with this before I go insane? I don't feel it's okay to discipline other people's children. It's not like they would listen anyway.
HELP!!

I've spoken to the parents three times. I've very firm. The more I speak to them the more defensive they get and the less they take action. I'm not the only one in the neighborhood having these problems. The kids aren't EVER supervised so they just run around and do whatever they want.

Answer
if the kids arent being supervised call cps, they might move them elsewhere, also thats tresspassing and the parents could get in trouble for that,
