we tell him no no in stern voice and i really would rather not pop him for biting i mean no no stops him from biting but he just keeps on doing it later on or the next day he does it because he wants us to stop what he does not want to do like dressing him and holding his hand while crossing the street are some of the examples when he bites
i was just wondring if there were any other methods of stopping this or should just stick with no no.

Ok I have been here a few times explaining my situation with a lady and her 3 year old son who's aggressive and has done some very dangerous things such as knife throwing and hanging off a 2nd story balcony. So many of you have told me to call CPS, but I am still unsure because the child hasn't been in the complex for a week, but the mom has with many different guys. My husband thinks it may be too early to call CPS and to just stick with calling the MPs when things occur, but I just can't shake a feeling that something's not right. I want to be sure that there is nothing going on. I am afraid for this child. He is overly aggressive, constanly disturbing, and his speech and emotional development are stunted. His mom openly says he's a demon child and has admitted to sleeping meds that make her too tired to care for him. I don't know, I don't want to call w/out valid reason, but I would feel horrible if something happened. Would it be over the top to submit my concerns?

I live apart from my gf and we have a child together, i pay her money towards our child and have no intention of leaving her and vanashing. What is the process if she does not want to go through the channels of CSA and is happy with the arrangements between ourselves, We dont want other people looking into our business and dont want the hassle with them. I may in the future be looking to move in with her, and support her fully but at this time we are happy with the arrangement we have. Can we continue as normal or will i HAVE to go through the CSA and if so what details would my Gf Need to pass on to them?

His punishment included making him go in to the nursery/toddler room 1 sunday and apologizing to the staff. He came back and told us he needed to either do chores for them for an entire morning and if he refused or gave them a hard time then he should maybe spend the rest of the time there as 1 of the kids so he could see what it was really like to be a baby and maybe he would think differently about what he did. Is this reasonable punishment?

Is it fine for him to have to wear diapers during the day? Should I change him then?

My son who is a 15 years old freshmen in high school, weighs about 120 lbs, and is 5'5" asked me if I could get him some diapers to wear from the store. Should I get him some? Is this one of those teenage fades? Why do you think he wants them? What kind of brands or sizes should I get him?

would you prefer I say something, or if they're not my child should I always stay out of it? For example; what is acceptable, I dont understand why I feel I should possibly stay out of it

My daughter has always been the sweetest little girl. Here lately whenever she's mad at me she hits and kicks me I just don't know how to handle this. I give time outs for punishment the whole time she sits there she's crying and getting up. Any ideas?

The kid lived with the mom his whole life & had a great relationship. She never interfered with the dad's visits. But when he went to live w/dad (he liked dad's no rules policy)
he refused to talk to or visit his Mom. He calls her names when he does answer. Going to court won't help, there is only 1 judge & he is biased toward women.

My daughter is 3 and she's done SOOOO good potty training. The problem I'm having is she refuses to have a bowel movement on the toilet. She'll wait until she gets a pull up on during her nap or at bedtime. I'm concerned she might end up making herself constipated. Any suggestions on how to get her to do number 2 in the toilet?

they can't get along. They fight over my attention, toys, even who gets to sit down first in their car seats. I try not to lose it but its a constant thing. They are smart, great kids. They are wonderfully well behaved when they are alone.

My little boy started school in September. A lot has happened this year i have seperated from his dad and in May we moved to a different house. My little boy seemed to cope with this but when he started school he has started to be really naughty. I have been called in to speak to the teacher and he has only been there 2 weeks. They have said that he is rough with the other cildren and dosnt seem to be bothered about making friends. 2 Parents have said that he is being nasty to their children. Up until school he attended nursery full time where he was kind to children had lots of friends and no reall issues. He did go through a naughty stage when i split with his dad but that is to be expected. I am worried about how the teacher is dealing with him as the other day i went to pick him up for a doctors appointment he was sat nicley drawing and the way she said his name was as though she was having a go at him. You could see him jump in his chair as though he was about to be shouted at.

My son is 13 and our next door neighbor is 27. She has been sitting for us for years and we really like her. I came home early to find them in the bathroom with her giving him a bath. He was standing in the tub with her kneeling by the side. She said he wasn't feeling good and was just helping him with his bath. Is there something going on or am I wrong to think that maybe something is?What should I do?
