Toddler & Preschooler - August 2006

My son just turned 2 in July and whenever he doesn't get his way, he screams at the top of his lungs, and it's close to a blood-curdling scream. Is this normal or should I take him to see a behavior specialist for his age group? Running out of ideas of how to get him to not scream so much.

Everytime someone sees my son (he is 16months old) wether it is in the store or someone that comes visits in our home, they always comment on how he is such a happy baby (wow) cause he is always smiling and giggling. Aren't other babies happy? I would like to hope so.

Use regular panties or pull-ups or padded trianing panties? She's currently using undies and is fine with it. I dont believe pull-ups are useful, they are like diapers and $$ how can the child really tell? same with padded panties?
(our 5 day in training)I am asking because she is having lots of accidents on carpet. She sometimes goes in the potty when I take her, but sometimes will hold it and goes 5 min. later in her undies.
Also I use diapers when she naps and at bedtime, is this right? help!?

I am looking for a spring horse, called Starlight made by the Hedstrom Company which is now out of business. The horse has a carousel type finish with pink and lavender trim made for little girls. I would love to find one of these for my little granddaughter’s birthday. Has anyone seen it in any toys stores, etc. around the country where I may order it? Thanks.

My 4-yr old will cry if I tell him to sleep in his own room, he get restless and will have difficulty falling asleep. Then he will either wake up in the middle of the night and ask for daddy to sleep with him although he has his younger bro to sleep with or he will crawl and sleep in our bed. I have run out of ideas to get him to sleep in his own room. Any ideas or tips pls?

my little boy has just got the hang of potty training, but the problem is we live in the middle of nowhere & each day we have a 20mile round trip to the childminders through open countryside (no facilities). We also enjoy walks. I put him in a nappy at these times but he crys when hes wet & my mum says he'll regress
Please help.

My son is 2 1/2 years old and for the life of me I'm having one heck of a time getting him to go to potty. If I put him on it first thing in the morning then he'll go or sometimes thur out the day but he won't tell me he has to go at all. Help any suggestions...And I don't feel like hearing he should be trained by now b/c he isn't.

Im a single mum of 2 little boys and my eldest who will be 4 next week has been diagnosed with ODD and possible ADD... Im at my wits end some days as he will not do as hes told and doesnt take to kindly to time out... (i usually get hit, kicked, bitten and scratched when i use time out) The other thing that worries me is that he will not toilet train, ive tried almost everything i can think of... If you refuse to put a nappy on him he will attack you (like the time out thing) or he will go and steal a nappy out of his 10 month old brothers room and put it on himself... If you take your eyes off him even to go to the toilet he will try and breakout of the house... I REALLY NEED HELP!!!

I work at a daycare, in the 2 year old room. There is a child who doesn't listen to me nor my co-workers, and whenever we discipline him, he smiles at us as if it were funny.

So I ask, what on earth can I (or his mother) do to make him listen to us better and for him to take his punishment seriously?

His mother is absolutely an airhead. I feel its my duty to ask so I can present some answers to her, and maybe she'll correct his behavior.

Thanks for reading and answering my question!

This is his first time to be in a school setting. He had a paper to color and the teacher told him that he was scribbling. I know they need to learn to color in the lines but should I have a talk with the teacher about this. My son just turned 4.

I figured since they might fall out later its ok now, but it sounds really bad as if he was crunching on ice. What's a good way to stop him from doing it?
