Toddler & Preschooler - August 2006

I have given quite a bit of advice about getting kids to start potty training. My son is almost 3 and he is doing wonderfully with peeing in the potty. Our problem is pooping in the potty. He wears underwear all day (no accidents) and pull-ups for naps and at night. The only time he ever goes is when he naps...while he's asleep. It has gotten so bad at times that he has made himself constipated. We have fixed that problem but not where he should go. I have heard that this is harder than the other...I am now realizing that. We have been potty trained for almost 2 months now. Any help from anyone out there???

e few months ago when my son was eating baby food, he ate anything you gave him. i was very dilligent about giving him a varioty of fruits and veggies and meats. no sugar or hardly any salt. now that he's eating toddler food fron gerber and "grown up food" off our plates, he won't come near a veggitable unless it's potato. he still drinks about 16 ounces of formula a day, so i know he's getting nutrition from that, but how do i get him to eat more than breads, meats, and mashed "taters", and applesauce?

He just turned 2 and I think it's time. My stupid wife says we need to wait until he is three. Any thoughts? I say, "The sooner the better!"

He'll be 3 in December, and I've been trying for about 2 weeks to get him potty trained, he always waits until he gets off of the potty and goes in his pull-up. This is the second time I've tried. I've tried bribing him with stickers and suckers and that still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

My 5 yr old daughter is driving me nuts. She has become very rude and mouthy not only to me but to everyone! She refuses to do anything she is told, has started lying and sneaking things she has been told no on. Now when ever I displine her, her new thing is telling me she is going to run away to her grandma's house to live because I "hate" her. I have NEVER told her I hated her or done anything to make her think that other than to discipline her when she has been bad! What can I do!?!

even at home, he has to be right by my side (serious separation anxiety). He whines if I even leave the room. He just started this about 2 weeks ago, and although I love him to death, it is driving me crazy. I can't get anything done. Nobody else can hold him, or he cries for me Even my husband (his dad). He used to go to everyone. The Dr. said this will pass, but is there something I can do?????

She is not my child (neice) I watch her six days a week. She is two. I told her parents but they are not here to disipline her when it happens. I have been using time out but she will get up and five minutes later bite.

I think it's time he learns how to shoot but my wife says we have to wait until he is 4. I think she should shut her filthy yapper. Any parents out there who taught their 2-year-old to shoot? Thanks!

My nephew was born without his left hand and most of his forearm. He is 23 months and has started showing interest in the potty. He is having difficulty with his pull up. Does anyone have any ideas or know of any websites that could help with the challenges he faces? Much appreciated!

My son is the most beautiful, intelligent little boy in the world. Hes my life. The 2 of us are always laughing and playing around etc. But at times (especially when we've got company) then he gets out of hand. I used to think its coz he wants my attention, but even when I give it to him, he continues with his little "performances". I do spank him... and it doesnt often work since hes as stubborn as his mom! I dont know what to do.
