Also how long do let him continue eating this poorly?
I have a two year old son who will eat very little unless it is cookies or chips! When good food is placed infront of him, even if it is pizza, hamburgers, fries, etc., he only takes about two bites and leaves the rest. He does however love his milk!!! I am getting fustrated and now even getting mad at him and i don't like it! I would like to understand what is the best course of action and if this is common among children at this age!!!! HELP!!!!

We only have one daycare in this area. They have said they will bump my child who attends part time in order to take a full time child. While this makes sense so the daycare can earn more money, they are essentially banning people from attending college or working part time. I was wondering what the legality of it is since they are the only daycare for over 70 miles.

I have very mixed feelings about spanking my daughter.I dont feel that it is appropriate but I am unsure of any other way to discipline her.Are 2 yr olds to young for time outs?

She breastfeeds still and that complicates things a little more. I'm not able to get the sleep that I need and our schedules are really messed up. My older children are getting ready to start school again and we need to get into a routine.

My daughter is 2 1/2 and usually takes a bath with me. Also at what age difference should a boy and girl no longer take a bath together?

ok, perhaps I'm just being a paranoid mom, but my almost 4 year old daughter told me that she had taken a bath "with daddy" while on her weekend visitation with my ex husband. I asked her if daddy wore a bathing suit, and she said, "No.. he was naked, and he had that big old thing between his legs". My skin began crawling because that behavior seemed inappropriate to me. For some reason a shower with me (her mother) is more acceptable because we are of the same sex. Am I being a hypocrite? If anyone else agrees with me what would you do in this situation?

I have two preschoolers ages 5 and 4. Both of them do not talk to their teacher and friends at school. But they speak a lot at home. They will play with others but never utter a single word. When people asking them question, even simple like "What`s your name?" They`ll never answer. They will only smile or hide behind me.

How will I make them talk to people? Why are they become so shy to speak to others?

I always see the animal backpacks (at the store) with a leash attachment for toddlers. I never see parents using them on their kids. I can understand why these products would be good for parents to be sure they have their kid controlled while walking on the street or whatever. Does anyone ever buy these though?

My 2 year old has suffered from constipation in the past. Now he is quite regular but he really strains when pooing because he insists on standing up which obviously makes him clench his cheeks which stop it coming. I know that if he would just sit down, it would come so much easier. I have tried sitting him on a potty but he seems scared of it. He has sat on the toilet once with a training seat, which was successful but he refuses to go back. I hate to see him strain and I'm sure he associates pooing with pain which is why he clenchs.
