Toddler & Preschooler - June 2006

All along I swore (before having my kid) that they would "never" sleep with us on a regular basis, but only on special occasions such as bad dreams and scary stormy nights. Buuuuuut! After my kid started sleeping in his own bed, he ended up crawling
in bed with us in the middle of the night and now it is pretty permanent. I am usually a pretty tough, put my foot down mom, but this is a battle I have failed to fight for long. He sleeps better and we sleep better. Just curious on thoughts.

My 19 month old son recently has started throwing everything! I have a 5 month old daughter and I'm concerned a flying object will hit her. How can I break him of this habit? I've tried explaining that only balls are for throwing, I've tried putting him in time-out and I'm tried spanking his hand. Nothing is working! Any suggestions?

Could someone tell me if something has worked for them??? He's been in the time out chair, I've taken his favorite toys, games etc. Nothing seems to work.... Not only is he disrespectful to me but my neighbours little girl is six and he bullies her and says mean things to her..... I don't understand why he's like this, both his father and I have a loving relationship and we always use common courtesy.... Please help, I'm afraid that Ive lost control and now I'm wondering how to get it back

I just answered a question something like "If you didn't have to work, would you still put your child in daycare?"

There were quite a few responses from people saying, "Yes, they need to learn to socially interract with other kids and count and learn their colors..."

My point (and question) is this: Most kids who stay home with their parents already know their colors and how to count and are starting to learn to read (and anything else that daycare centers are teaching them these days). They learn from the stay at home moms and dads. So why exactly DO they go to kindergarten? MY OPINION is that they learn to interract with other kids and learn their socialization skills in kindergarten. That's the WHOLE POINT of kindergarten. Anyone agree with me?

My son is very stubborn. What are your success stories how to cope and turn them around? Any recommendations for good books, articles, websites, techniques? Thanks.

here's one i tried and it worked may even get little ones to eat:
ZIPLOC OMELET
(This works great !!! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that no one has to wait for
their special omelet !!!)
Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker.
Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.
Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.
Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the
bag and zip it up.
Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot.
For more, make another pot of boiling water.
Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily.

I keep telling her it is time. She insist that it is not. When a child grabs his behind when he poops and says "I stink", its time. He is almost two. I know I am the older sister but I do think it is time for her to at least start on it. I think she is just lazy.

It's not that he's picky - he'll eat - once in awhile. I think he's just too busy to eat. For instance, if I offer him a bowl of cereal at breakfast (me, him, and his younger sister all sit together at the table) most of the time he won't eat... but if I sit in the livingroom and bring the bowl of cereal out, he will continously come to me to get bites and go back to play. He eats alot like this, but I don't always have time to do that, plus he needs to learn to sit at the table anyway (I cannot take him to restraunts!!!). Any suggestions on maybe menus or tips from other moms who have had the same situation? I

I'm still breastfeeding my baby and she wakes up several times during the night asking for milk. She sleeps with me. So when she wakes up for milk, she'll pull me up to a sitting position and climb onto my lap. If I refuse to feed her, she'll cry her heart out, and I can't bear to see that. I think it's not the milk that she wants, but I don't know exactly what it is. It could be that she feels the need to pee, but doesn't know how to say it. She's half potty-trained (knows how to tell me after she pees. No problems with pooping anymore. She'll tell me before she does it). Any suggestions?
