My grand daughter was born with a serious heart defect. She's been through several surgeries.
Lately, she has taken to stealing from her classmates, her grades have dropped, and everytime her Mom asks her to do anything, she backtalks, screams and cries.
Her Mom is at her wit's end...and so is Grandma!
Can you help??

I catch children running with knives or scissors, or even sharp pencils sometimes, and I always wonder what I should tell them to do? What should I teach them as the correct and safe way to hold such objects while moving?

.. she is a tiny bomb of activity and refuses to sleep for more than 6 hrs in a day of 24!! What I want to ask is, whether a pacifier is safe to use?? I am being told that the pacifier causes gas troubles in the baby's stomach and also induces rised and uneven teeth. Is there any reliable source of info' or website, where I can verify about the safety of pacifiers?? Thank you all...

2 of my 3 children (ages 3 and 7) have had bright green bowel movements within the past week. Are they eating too much of something?

As long as I can remember my periods have always been on a 28 day cycle. I have 4 children now and after I had my last son they have been anywhere from 30 to 32 cycles is this normal? And how long can you go between cycles for example the average is 28 days my are 32 so how long can a cycle really be. So I guess my question is should I be worried that my cycles have changes this dramtic since I had my last baby? My baby is 7 months old so this has not been going on that long but I would just like some advice or some opinions on the subject. Thank you very much.

When can you carry out a pregnancy test. I mean, like any time of the month? Or only when you've missed a period?
My cousin is pregnant and she didn't skip?

No nasty answers please, I'm serious. Only woman...

My two month old who hasn't been sleeping for more than an hour or so at a time during the day is asleep all day today.. since yesterday he hasn't been 'himself' crying and wanting to be in my arms then falling straight back to sleep, he is usually happy lying in his pram. He doesn't have a temp. Should I be worried? even more worried than I am now that is..

My daughter is 4 years old and lately she has been touching her private parts. For example when she gets out of the tub she touches her boobies, and when shes sitting on the couch she sometimes puts her hands down her pants and touches her pee pee. Every once in a while she tries to touch my breasts, and of course I tell her she cant. But as for her touching herself I realize shes young and learning about her body. Should I tell her its ok as long as shes in private or should I tell her not to do it at all?

and why? On the other hand, if you choose to vaccinate, why? Please no long copy and paste articles on the issue, I am interested in your own words.

I asked a question about vaccinations and holding my children while they are being vaccinated and received a long answer telling me why I am horrible for vaccinating my children, I feel the benefits far outweigh the risks. Just curious how many people choose to vaccinate and how many do not.

Been to the doc this morning as im off to Egypt next week and needed to check a few things with him. However, he wasn't really that helpful at all. When i asked about a fitness to fly letter, he replied "well, do u feel fit to fly"? and that was it! no check up, nothing! I asked him if he could perscribe something incase I get jelly-belly whilst Im there, his reply was -"u can probably take immodium if it gets bad", Im not happy with "probably" and told him so, he said that it is all he can say!!! Are all doctors so uncaring ?? not sure what to do now

I'm the proud mother of a 6 week old, and I was wondering how I can get his days and nights right again because he has them mixed up. How can I get him to take his longer 4-5 hour nap during the night instead of during the day?

How about holding her breath while standing on her head?
A better question would be how do those myths get started and why in the 21st century do people still believe them?

I know this woman she is in her mid 20s with 5 kids (3 dads).She is a terrible role model for them as she was preg with her 1st at school and has never worked since, just scrounged off benefits popping out kids for a payrise every now and then. Her kids seem to always be at the hospital with something wrong. I am not saying that she beats them because she defo isnt but their accidents all seem to happen because she lets then run riot, too involved with herself to care if they are out playing an wonder miles from home or if they injure themselves round the house because of her carelessness? Social services have been called to her before but will the hospital have the authority to inform them if they think something is wrong?

In the first few weeks I noticed it a lot. But now not so much. But right before I go to bed, I feel a little discomfort. I think I make it feel worse by worring about it.

My mom keeps on buying things for my oldest daughter who is 4 and not my other little one who is 2 years old. My 2 year old just stands there and stares at her. Then on the way home my 4 year old tells her "don't worry, when I outgrow this you can have it- ok". Or "don't worry, I'll let you use it too." The other day I got something for my 2 year old and my 4 year old asked if that was because grandma didn't get her anything. Should I say anything to my mom? If so, what and how should I say it. Or, should I go through my dad? He is already trying to get my mom to buy things for the 2 year old. She loves her but gloats over the special bond she feels for my 4 year old. I would rather she didn't buy anything for either child rather than just buy for one. Help Please! Thanks

I just got a positive on a home pregnancy test. My insurance doesnt kick in until February 1st and they cant get me in to see my Primary care Dr until the 7th. Then he has to refer me to an OBGYN which could take another few weeks. Is it okay to wait that long to get a blood test and check up? If I go to another OBGYN and just pay cash for the first visit and blood work, will the rest of my pregnancy not be covered by my insurance since I went before Feb 1?
