He just turned 2 but he practically dominates me. I don't want him to be one of those kids who makes scenes and stuff when we go out places. I don't want to hit him either. What can I do?

I have a child in my home daycare that spits his milk out almost every time I give it to him. It doesn't matter if he's at the table or not. I've tried just giving him a little. Nothing seems to matter. I can't quit giving it to him, I am looking for suggestions.

For the last few days I have been putting a pull-up on my 3 year old son at night because of bedwetting accidents. This morning his foreskin is very puffy and swollen (he is uncircumcised). It's not particularly red but definitely not normal looking. What could this be?

(I'll be calling the doctor as soon as the office opens in an hour.)

My 4yr old son has taken to touching his penis on everything/everyone. This is when he is clothed, so it is more leaning his pelvis against the object/person/pet. When my son is not around my husband refer to the action as "humping" like a dog, but there is no motion just his pelvis pressed up against the person/object/pet. He is non-descriminate. I have seen him do it to the family pets, me, the couch, his sister, etc. I am mystified. I am trying to take the calm approach and calmly tell him that is not appropriate when he does it. I have gotten upset a few times, that has no affect. I have tried telling him if he wants to touch his privates he can go to the bathroom or his bedroom. I've explained about personal space, when he does it to me in public I put some space between us and embarrassed I hope no one noticed. What do I do? Will he ever out grow this? I want the behavior to stop, but I don't want to do psychological damage

When someone's toddler is misbehaving terribly (like hitting my daughter, pushing her down, & taking everything she picks up) & the parent is not punishing the child, what can I do or say?

My 2 1/2 year old daughter had to be sedated on Monday morning to have some dental work done. On Tuesday she seemed to be feeling fine. Tuesday night however, she started vomiting. She vomited off and on from appx 9pm-2am. This morning she started throwing up again and was also running a fever. I took her to the dentist to check for an infection but was told she is healing fine.

My normally very active 2 year old is now laying around complaining that her stomach hurts. She has not vomited since this morning but still runs a fever when the Tylenol runs out.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I am worried that something is being missed by the dentist and her doctor. (I called her doctor and was told she may have the flu) I just feel uneasy about the whole thing.

Thanks in advance for your advice!!

My 3 yr old takes off his shoulder straps while strapped into his car seat. He pushes the plastic buckle (the one that slides up to their chest when buckled) down and then pulls his arms out of the shoulder straps leaving just the bottom part buckled. Even if we tighten the straps as tight as is recommended, he still gets out of it. Has anyone had this problem and how did you solve it?

The seat is similar to this one: http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/albee-baby/22859MAC.gif
