My one year doesn't seem very attatched to me. I want through terrible axniety during my pregnancy and PP depression. While I was physically present , emotionally I was a mess. Now, I'm in therapy and my hormones are evening out. My daughter doesn't want me to hug or kiss her. She doesn't seek out my attention. She's happy to play by herself all the time. I've realized that I was not there for her in some very important ways (I didn't feel attached to her while I was depressed) in the beginning and I feel that this is why she's this way. I stayed home with her, took her for walks every day, gave her daily massages, nursed her for eight months, read to her, and worries over every little thing. I think she knew, though, that deep down things weren't right. She smiles but doesn't laugh very often. I try to hold her and she hates it. It breaks my heart and confidence as a mother. Does anyone else have a toddler with a similar personality or is this my fault?
Also, she is not autistic

My two year old is pretty sick, has a cough, runniest nose, and a bit of a fever. She will not swallow medicine, the new meltaways are only for fever, and she will not take the new thin strips on her tongue.
Any suggestions? We're worried her cough will progress into something bad.

my son is 14 months old. last night he woke up screaming late at night. i tried to lay down with him but he wouldnt lay with me. he wanted me to stand and sway with him. he wouldnt go back to sleep. he threw up(which never happens) before he went to bed he had dinner and had some fruit, and had milk. i am not sure if the mixture made him throw up. he was cranky all night. then at 6am he finally went to sleep(never slept last night ) what could be wrong? this morning he pooped tiny hard pebbles. what was wrong with him and if you know tell me so it wont happen again. was it gas, constipation? dehydration? i spent this morning looking on the net and i couldnt find out what was wrong, please give me advice. thank you...NOTE: this never happened before. plus he usually has friuit at least 3 times a day along with healthy meals.

My 2 year old son has been sleeping through the night since he was 8 months old. From around 8-9 until 5-6. Recently he has started waking up in the middle of the night and wanting mommy(me). I go get him and snuggle with him, but all he ends up doing is tossing and turning, so neither of us is getting any sleep. I've tried no naps during the day hoping to tire him out, not working. Any ideas or helpful hints would be nice.

I can understand (not approve, though) if he did it out of frustration over being incapable of expressing himself. But sometimes he just does it for fun...he bites and then laughs. Then he tries to do it again. What is a healthy & effective way to break this habit?

Which I am sure you can imagine is quite a disaster when she poops either in the diaper before she takes it off, or after she takes it off while she is sleeping. She is 21 months old. I can't get her to keep her pajamas on, even the ones with the footies and that zip or snap closed. She has been able to get out of every piece of clothing she has slept in. I don't want her to keep having these accidents in her bed, I am afraid it could get her sick. Any suggestions on ways to keep her diaper and her clothes on her at night or at nap times?

I'd like to get some stories for my 2-year-old niece. Do they sell these at Barnes and Noble? U Bookstore? Someplace else better and smaller? I'm going shopping in about an hour, so time is of the essence. Thank you.

I recently found this website gamequarium for preschool kids and it has games that my 3 1/2 year old can play on his own, he is using the mouse and this is new to us and I am so proud of his coordination, do any parents know of any other online games for toddlers like this? Examples in that website: he drags 3 different sized apples from the tree in to the correct bag (small, med, large) It is amazing that he is interested in this and actually doing it himself at such a young age!!!!!!! I appreciate your help!

My nephew is three years old and loves the Littlest Touch LeapPad. He has a little brother, and I know sharing is sometimes hard for them. He has just started Preschool and doing great. I was looking at LeapPads for Christmas for him and got the LeapPad Plus Writing. Amazon has some bad reviews on it. I was wondering what people on here thought. I have removed the pencil and noticed it still works, which I think would be better for him.

People have always told us that we should get our son, who is almost four now, into modeling. He is a good-looking kid and very photogenic, but I've never been sure about getting him involved in that kind of thing. Has anyone had experiences with child modeling, either themselves or their children? Can you give me the pros and cons, please?

I want to start teaching my 4 year old some defense tricks if she were ever in danger. She knows to scream, kick, do whatever is needed, but I know there are "tricks". I know there is karate, etc...but I was hoping there was something specific to stranger danger.
