Is it normal for a 4 year old to not be able to do ANYTHING for or by himself? He can't get himself dressed, put on his own socks or shoes. He needs help doing everything! Is this normal?

how would you respond to the question often asked of grandparents,"what makes you think that you will be a better parent and not make the same mistakes the second time around?"

People of Asian descent please answer!: How is it that most Asian children are extrememly well behaved? I am not trying to be stereotypical it is just that I rarely see anyone who is of Asian descent with an unruly child and would like some tips. My son is 16 months old. Do you punish or spank your children? What other means of discipline do you use?

Well, lots of people know about giving your kid some Benadryl to make him/her sleep on a long trip. I haven't done this so don't start screaming! Anyway I know lots of people who have. But I recently read in Dear Abby a letter from someone who said that was a terrible thing to do and you should never medicate your kids!

I recently traveled to the US from Africa (where we currently live) alone with my 3 year old (no meds) and it was rough--that's 24 hours of travel. The trip back is going to be even longer, closer to 36, because of 12 hours layover in Paris. So, what does everyone think? Should I bring the Benadryl or will that make me a criminal?

My son is 3 1/2 and my daughter is 2. My son will get very hyper at times, screaming, throwing things and running around wildly. My daughter then begins to imitate him. I have tried "time-outs", spanking, reward charts and deep pressure massage. I am at my wits end trying to calm them down. HELP!

This was a shock to all of us. We were told today that whilst he is not 100% blind, he will be partially sighted, probably receive one to one tutoring in school, and read big print.As this is completely new to us, any information from your own experience would be helpful.

I have a two year old daughter, and now I know why they call it the terrible twos. She always tries to hit the baby, (4months old) and will scream and throw things and everything is NO screaming! I spend time with her separately from my baby so I'm trying to work on the jealousy thing. Time outs don't seem to work and I hate to resort to spanking, but I"ve heard that doesn't help. I can't seem to get her distracted and she is starting to hit me and daddy and the baby. I"ve heard ignoring is good, but I can't tolerate the hitting especially when she hits the 4 month old who can't fight back. Please help, I'm going crazy, this is my first kid by the way. Any suggestions for keeping your patience would help too.

How do we get him to be more aware of when to go when he has underwear on? He seems to forget to go when he is active and does not want to interupt his play when he has on underwear. When he is in clothes we ask him every 30-45 min. to use the potty but he gets annoyed.

My husband says that my 16 month old son is going through a phase because he cries and wants us to pick him up sometimes. He cries really hard and its really difficult for me to listen to. My husband thinks that its funny that he cries like this and says that he is just spoiled. What do you think?

Any helpfull activities would be appreciated. I have him in speech therapy but that is only twice a week. specialist say he has problem processing information (hearing then saying what he wants to) He understands what you say and what you want him, to do - just has trouble vocalizing it. Problems with (W) questions - what, when, where, and how.
Thanx for all you help.

People always call my son chubby or "big boy" and I dont think he's fat but other people seem to think he's "sooo big" He is 13 months 30 inches and 24 pounds. How does that compare to your kids?

Pretty self explanatory. My nephew who lives with me, starts every thing he says with the word no. He's two and since he's not mine, there's not a lot of punishment I can dole out. Unfortunately, my sister spent little to NO time with him until she moved in with me. So he's just now learning to speak. He's very good at repeating words back, but everything he repeats or says starts with "NO!" He doesn't ever say yes, and I've tried asking him "why" everytime he says it. He doesn't say it to mean no, it's just the first word he says. Is this normal? Can I do something about this?

My daughter was potty trained 6 months before her 2nd birthday. BUt because of the day care that she was in and the refused to move her up she had to wear a diaper and go in the diaper. Well, no I have taken her out of the day care and I want her to go potty. She refuses to tell me she has to potty until after she has done it. She that she has had a bowl movement because she brings me the baby wipes to clean her. IF I don't do it when she wants it off she takes off her pamper and starts to wipe herself. She likes wearing panties but she always urinates in them and gets very upset when I take them off and don't put on another pair. There are times when she tells me that she has to potty but she doesn't do anything. How do I get her to go to the potty? I do still have pull ups on her because she doesn't go to the bathroom and she hides when she urinates in the panties so no one will notice that she is wet or a wet spot in the floor. HELP!PLEASE!
