== == == == I have edited this answer because I felt it was unsuitably upsetting for a parent trying to find out about sociopathy in children. If anyone would like to add a slightly less upsetting reply that would be brilliant, sorry. New Response: regarding the answer above, the person above definitely is a parent of a sociopath, and how do I know? Because if you find yourself feeling really bad or disturbing or embarrassed or ashamed after you discuss a socipathic event involving your child, then your child is a sociopath. Technically, psychology does not diagnose minors with antisocial personality disorder, however, there are traits that your teen may exhibit that are indicative of a burgeoning socipath adult, those would include stealing, not showing remorse for wrongs they have done, blame shifting, extreme and chronic self-centeredness, not caring, pathologic lying, parasitic behavior, won't get a job but will constantly bum or steal money from his parent or his parent's friends. My husband's sociopath, I can call him that now because he is no longer a minor, made up an incredible lie about his father, one that could have gotten his father into serious trouble with law enforcement if the health practitioner believed the sociopath's lies... it totally made my husband a nervous wreck for several weeks after he received a phone call from this health practioner informing him of the tale that the son told the health care provider. Why did sociopath son make up this lie about his father? To get Revenge against his father because father was telling him to be more responsible or else get kicked out of the house on his 18th birthday. One mistake you can make if you suspect your child of having this personality disorder is to accuse him of it, because sociopath's are very "smart" and can figure out what emotion to feign in order to get what they want from you, despite your better wishes that they not have what they want, whatever that may be. I am not a pyschologist, I speak from experience.

How do you teach a child to multiply?
Use coins or beans as markers. Start with 0. Tell them that multiplying anything times 0 is 0. Then move on to 1. Tell them that multiplying 1 by any number is the number. Arrange the beans or coins to show that 1 of any number from 1 to 9 is the number. Then move on to 2. Arrange the coins or beans so that there are two sets of each number from 1 to 9. Explain that 2 sets of 6, for example, is 12 total. Once the child gets that idea and has practiced with it for awhile, move on to 3. Arrange the coins so that there are 3 groups of each number from 1 to 9. Let him/her count the total number of coins in each of the sets of 3. Explain that, for example, 3 sets with 4 coins in each set is a total of 12 coins. As the child learns and becomes comfortable with each level, gradually move up to the next level until the child has finished all of the levels up to 12.
