My 2 1/2 year old knows when she has to go, holds it for a long time, refuses to use the little potty, the toilet or the child's seat on the toilet. I've tried bribes, and praise, letting her run naked, bringing the potty to her and "big girl panties", she completly refuses! Help!!!!

My son is very active. Plays a lot and sweats a lot. Hr doens't like to drink milk or water. He likes juices however I avoid giving them to him.
So ideally how much water should a toddler drink during a day. I know as adult we need twlo ltrs. So how about the young children.

He likes to be held until he falls asleep. It wasnt a problem until I had a baby a month ago and now I cant always hold him when nap time comes along. how can i get him to be able to fall asleep alone?

If your children are being molested in toddlers age in school..
1) Would you let her know what happen when she grows up
or
2) Just keep quiet about the whole matter since she have forgotten

I spent all of last year fighting cancer (I just turned 25) I spent the end of May and most of June in the hospital for some pretty invasive chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant.

My question is, my son will be five in September and could go to kindergarden, but the last year has been so crazy, I feel a lot has been neglected as far as school goes. He's amazing with his school work, but socially things have been a mess. That and I have a very compromised immune system so I can't be around a lot of children for the next year (I need re vaccinated because my immune system was destroyed) So I will miss any school functions, programs, parent's days...ect.

Would a second year of preschool with teachers that understand our situation be best? I feel like either way, I'm depriving him. I hate to give him a late start, but I hate to rush things and not be there the way other parents can.

my daughter as just started to potty train. i put her on the lil potty after she wakes up from the night and after naps and 75% of the time she will go. (yay!) but she has a problem the rest of the day of telling me after she goes! she'll run to the bathroom door and and yell and say "poopoo" but she has already gone. how do i get her to distinguish between needing to go and already gone?

My daughter is 13 months, she seems to like pillows but I dont know if I should give her one to sleep with.

whom by the way is 13 months old thinks it is funny when he is told no. I think he is aware of what he is doing, cause while he is doing it he looks at you to see what you will say or do. Anyway how do you emphasize the word NO and make him believe it. And I do not believe in spanking.

Parents do get mad at what their children do.
Like throwing the bowl down when done eating.
But is it good or bad to yell at them for what they do wrong.
And why do they laugh at what they did wrong. she thinks its funny.

My husband and I are planning to adopt a toddler; and wanted to know if it was a good idea to get someone under 3 or just do the infant thing like so many others. But, it's just sad to see toddlers thrown to the side, b/c everyone wants a cute infant.

my almost 2 1/2 year old son is ready to potty train, but very stuborn. i need someone to answer this that has had success with the same situation. i've tried rewards, he loves stickers so i put a poster on the bathroom wall for stickers, but he got bored with that after 2 days. i don't want to bribe with candies because he already eats enough as it is. he has an older brother so he gets hand me downs so i don't want to be buying new underwear every week. i think i've tried everything, but maybe somebody might have a suggestion.
