Dear Maddie,
I really want a dog but my parents say I’m not responsible enough. How can I prove to them I can take care of a dog?
Desperate Dog Lover
Well, I can say that you need to EARN a dog by doing extra chores. Help your parents by doing their chores to show you are responsible. You can also ask for a dog for Christmas because December is close.

Hi Maddie,
I have a friend that sits near me in class that talks a lot. I can’t get my work done and then I have to stay in at recess to finish it. What can I say that won’t make him mad but will stop him from talking so much?

To not make your friend mad but will make him stop talking to you, you can try reasoning with him. For example, tell him what happens when he talks to you. Also, tell him nicely to stop, because he probably doesn’t know what you are going through.

Maddie,
That was good advice about friends - thanks! What should I do about being scared to get a shot at the doctor? I have an appointment at the doctor on December 5th. Thanks, Nervous about shots P.S my mom typed this for me.
When I get a shot, I don’t move or shake. I relax and am calm. Don’t move or it will hurt more than it needs to.
