Do most youngsters get adequate guidance and discipline training from their parents?

Q. Esp on home-safety, fire-safety, vehicle-safety and other aspects of safety? Isn't this the right time for more family bonding and to nurture kids properly, for a better tomorrow?

Your valuable comments would be much appreciated!

A. From where I am, parents teach, guide and discipline youngsters on the basics of safety, good behavior and manners. We don't even spare the rod, so to speak, if a child does wrong. But we explain to him why he is being spanked - not because we love him less but because we want to instill in his young mind the importance of knowing what is right and what is wrong, that there are certain rules to consider and must be obeyed to make him a better person when he grows up and that includes thinking not only for his own self but to consider others as well.

Can an employer require an employee to take a TB test?
Q. My husband works for a small company doing installations & structural modifications for home safety. His boss is mandating that all his employees get a tuberculosis test so that the company can get some sort of certification. Please note that, as far as we know, there is no indication that anyone has been exposed to TB. Is it reasonable or legal for his boss to require to him to take this test, especially since the company doesn't even provide health care insurance that would cover the treatment of any side effects that resulted from the test? Also, can anyone suggest any good on-line resources that deal with situations like this?

A. The staff is going into people's homes and touching their stuff and cannot be spreading a communicable disease.

How can I keep my house safer from break-ins?
Q. We've had some burglaries lately in our neighborhood. I'm just looking for some ideas on home safety, with or without a security system or alarm.

A. Leaving an inside light on when you are gone makes a thief wonder if someone is there. Not the bathroom light or a porch light.
Leave a radio on low to fool the thief.
Put a recorder on the telephone. If the telephone rings while one is trying to decide if anyone is home the recorder can say something like this, "Will call you in a few minutes."
Don't let the mail or newspapers pile up.
A camera is good to put up.

A sign that says,"Security or dog guard on duty 4 days and nights, pick your night."
Don't let people know when you are going to be gone unless it is a neighbor that you trust.
