I babysit a 3 year old girl and her dad SWEARS I don't have to stay in the room and watch her, but I think she is still too young to be left unsupervised. At what age do kids usually reach the responsibilty of being able to bathe themselves and get in and out of the tub by themselves? I think 5 years old is around the right age?

She's used it before- trainer seat and the little potty, but refuses to try and use it regularly. She'll tell me when she has a pee/poopy pull-up, but won't sit in time. Tried panties and at 1st she hated to soil them, but now she doesn't care. She'll also tell me she wants to sit on the potty or it's her turn (if I'm on it), but as soon as she gets on it she tells me that "my all done on the potty". I don't get it. Unfortunately she's as stubborn as I am, so this won't be an easy or pretty potty training time. Just trying to find different ways or incentives to her wanting to use it regularly. She wakes up dry now, but she'll hold it if I sit her on the potty. Even when she sits on her little potty while watching a movie, she'll still hold it until she stands up (not necessarilly covered either). Also tried rewards- snacks, stickers, trips, little toys, etc, but nothing. Anyone else's kid this fiesty?

I am trying to figure out the easiest way to potty train my son. He is almost two (october). He is showing signs of interest, but I am confused on what method to use. I need some ideas, because if I can save money buying a cheap toilet cover vs. potty chair, I will. Thanks for your responses.

TV, Video, or computer-related activities are not an option! Thanks for your responses.

even though we are all girls here, I was thinking about training my son the wayI trained my girls. I trained my girls by letting them go bare butt and always taking them potty when my mom or I would go, then when my little girl was potty training, we would even have her go when myoldest would go.
the guard seems to be irritating to him, so I thought about leaving that off and teach him to holditdown with his handor to tuck it in between his legs.

any other suggestions, I would appreciate it.
any tips as to when to have him start standing and teach him how to aim too would be appreciated.

I am 81/2 months pregnant, and my son is using it to his full advantage. He is always pushing my limits and getting into trouble. When he isn't in trouble he is attached at my hip. I can say something 10 times and he wont listen. My husband can say it once or just look at him and he does it right away. Allot of people are telling me it's just because of the baby, and that when she is born things will be bac to normal. Is this true? Does anyone have any advice for me?????

Did you get it for your child? It's really new in Canada. Should I bother getting it or just let him get it sometime.

If somebody is in possesion of this, i have a question. When the site says: "The zip fastener is placed on the back for safety reasons - your child cannot remove the Floatsuit by himself."

How does this work? will it be uncomfortable for the kid?

I'm referring to the child of a family friend, etc. so the baby may not be very comfortable with me yet.

my daughter drives me crazy, and everytime i say no about anything, she blows a fit, screaming "i want my daddy"...and all the other stuff.
and vice versa...
it makes me crazy, and i don't know how to get her to knock it off.
she's only 3, she should be a little angel...

Don't you hate it when your toddler cleans their toys up and misses one and it is always a small sharp one you end up steping on? My daughter just cleaned up her toys before bed and she did an awesome job but she forgot one and I stepped on it of course.

I am taking a babysitting Red cross program tomorrow that goes all week at my school. It is an hour and a half a day. The rest of the day I am helping out at my camp's infant todler center and the little kids camp which goes up to second grade.

After I complete this I become certified and want to start babysitting. My neighbor has a little girl about five. How much should I charge this family an hour? I wouldn't babysit that often. I live in MA if it makes a difference.

Is there anything I will need to know that the course doesn't cover?

he weights about 45lbs... I'd like him to take off about 5 lbs. his doctor says he is "ok" and said he will be prone to hold extra weight since he has a large bone structure like both his father and myself... which is fine, I just don't want him to be excessivly large.
he can out eat me , at some meals!!!!

Last night I went out to the club with my sister and my friend and when I left my 2 year old daughter with my roommate she was asleep. This morning my roommate tells me that while she was in the shower last night, my daughter decided to go outside and run across the street to the neighbors house. All the locks were locked and she goes across the street to a neighbor who I have fallen out with, and tells them that "My momma left me!" Now this incident happend last night, should I still give her a spanking even though its the next day? I have already told her she cant go outside and play with her friends today, but I'm so furious that she ran outside in the middle of the night crying that I left her when the babysitter was there in the shower! What do I do, I am so embarrassed that this happend.

I know this girl that has a 4 year old boy that still wears diapers. She says that he isnt slow or challenged, but he is just lazy and won't do it. We go to a gym together that has a daycare program and they won't change his diaper and she gets mad. But I don't blame them because a 4 year old in diapers is just crazy in my opinion and seems like laziness on her part. What do you think?

The theme is "Incredible Race," and lots of automotive-type add-ons. (Obviously trying to capitalize on the movie release of "Cars.") Anyway. . .I think all I have to do is shuffle them from one station to the next. My 3-yr-old is very attentive and obedient, but I'm not quite sure what to do with such a large group of them. (I'm not a "fun" mom. . .more a "be polite" and "do your chores" kind.)

I'd appreciate fun suggestions for the following:

*Things to keep them engaged for 15 minutes in the morning while we're waiting for everyone to arrive (and when we're done)

*A "quiet" sign that they might think is fun, for when they need to listen to what's going on

*Something fun to keep them quiet and all together in the halls as we're going from one station to the other.

*If you have experience with this, anything else that might be helpful. . .thank you!

My son is three years old and can be hard to manage at times, but he's been worse since the baby has been here. I find myself in tears because everyone who's been helping me has been disciplining him and it seems like the baby is getting more love than he is. Now he has pink eye so I constantly have to get onto him about being in the baby's face. He loves his brother, but I'm afraid that he'll soon hate him. I'm so confused. any suggestions?
