It's time to think about the future
We are very concerned about her daughter's future. She moved to ninth grade, and it is urgent to resolve the question of what to do next. But Nastya lives only for today. Learns bad, to my questions about the future of the jokes, think about friends and the computer. The feeling that she doesn't understand how important it is to choose the right path in life!
Your anxiety is understandable. However, not all children by the ninth grade reached the level of a psychological maturity necessary for choice of profession. Treat her daughter with understanding, totally abstain from notations and moralistic. Your stance should be is this: it's time to make a decision and act, but it has to be her decision. Discuss various options — continue study at school, College, job search. Let them know that you support any of them. Help bring it to life (for example, to choose a College or Institute for the future, to go there together, figure out what you need for admission, etc.).

Courage on the verge of recklessness
My five year old son too ambitious: no other people not afraid of any big dogs. How many times have had to catch up with him in front of the road is rushing headlong. How to teach your child care?
Based on your description it is difficult to understand the reason of such behavior of the boy. Watch him. If the child acts to his own detriment, not memorizing and analyzing the actions (for example, burned because I was careless with fire), consult a neurologist. If it takes into account the negative experience, but nevertheless scares you with his fearlessness, then it most likely is of high activity and impulsivity (first do, then think). Teach your son to behave safely but don't intimidate. Read tales and stories, discuss what and why happened to the characters when they behaved recklessly (since Gingerbread), and praise for reasonable behavior.
Color matters
My daughter is 3.5 years old, but she still can't remember names of colors. To the question, what color this or that subject, either silent or says something absurd, for example: "the Christmas Tree as my dad's car". The machine is really green, but why don't you say so? This lag?
Try an experiment: invite my daughter to paint something simple on sample, for example a traffic light. If the right — nothing to worry about. If difficult, the reason can be and not lag. Perhaps you attach too much importance to this issue and the baby feels your tension. She's not sure I correctly remember the names of the colours, and afraid to make a mistake, anticipating your reaction. Stop to examine. Better unobtrusive prompt, for example, ask what dress she wants to wear (yellow or blue?), from what Cup to drink, etc. Soon your worries will be over.
