My daughter,Raynah,is 14mths old. Shell be 15mths soon enough. But she plays with a little girl who is younger than her(13mths) but talks alot more..and does alot more things. Raynah says mama,dada,baba..and occasionally if shes feeling show-offy shell say kitties but it comes out like "giggies". this other little girl says lots more and high fives and everything! I'm worried I'm not talking to her enough...shes a pretty advanced baby otherwise...she understood object premenence really early...and learned her name really fast too!!

My 18 month old daughter has started biting and we can't get her to stop. I have tried everything that I know to try. With my son (who is 3 now) all we had to go was bite him back a few times and it broke him. But my daughter is worse that he ever was. She catches you off guard. She will act like she wants to cuddle them she will chomp down on your shoulder or arm and not just little nibbles either, she bites hard enough to leave brusies. She drew blood on my son the other day. I am at my wit's end with this one. My son looks like a leper with all the bite marks on him. Any ideas will be greatly appreicated, SERIOUS answers only please. I prefer from parents or childcare workers. Thank you.

We have been trying for months now! He will walk behind a toy. (like a little toy lawn mower, or Vacume cleaner). And he will walk holding onto my pinky finger. But he will not stand without any thing to hang on to and he will not get passed taking those first few steps alone. We took him to the Dr yesterday for his 15 month check up and he said a physical therapast will be needed if he is not walking by next month. Does anyone have any tricks???

I think that my two year old may be slightly color blind. Mostly it is him mixing up blue and green. he consistently can tell the difference between red and yellow and pinks, and white and black, but when I show him blue and green side by side he just looks at me as if I'm stupid.

am I sending him a wrong message here?. Its a really expensive toy.one of his cousins wich is 5 just got one last month and my son keeps bugging me to buy him one. Should I cave in to his demands or should i just tell him that we don't have money for those types of luxurys.

Is it time to get him a potty ? His day care wont potty train him until he is 2 . Will it be bad to potty train him at home and not at school?

I've been helping my spouse take of his child for years now. This summer when the mother dropped him off I barely recognized him. He has gained 25 pounds in five months. Is this weight gain normal for a child? He is 5 years old and 70 pounds now. I know some little boys are stocky (spelling) but this is all flab. When he is with us we try to incorporate some exercises and healthy eating. However when he gets back home the mother resorts to bad habits. He now has asthma due to the weight and everyone smoking in the house. To top this all off he has made comments like "mommy feed me too much junk food and I threw up" or "mommy told me not to worry until I become an adult" He starts school soon and he's getting worried that the other kids will start to pick on him. We have bought up these concerns to his mother who only responded with "It's genetics" or "I can't control who smokes in the house". Can this type of behavior be reported to CPS or does his mother have to right to do this?

Do you have to just go with the flow until he grows out of it or can anyone give me some advice on any practical hints and tips on coping strategies?
Thanks.

I have an unruly 2 year old boy, he is stubborn, he hits me and yells at me. I have done all I can, he is still a brat, I sit down and cry because he frustrates me so much. Every day is a power struggle with him. How do I cope with this? There must be someone out there who has had this problem, and conquered it. HELP!!!

My son of 2 years just won't give up his bottle. He asks for it anytime of the day and if I refuse to give it to him, he will throw tantrums and cry for hours. It's ruining his meal time routine because by that time he will be full from drinking milk in a bottle. I tried hiding the bottles and milk but I obviously failed! Please HELP!!!! This is really frustrating for me...
