He does so good going to the big potty, he only wears a pullup at night, and during his nap he has no accidents, when will he get up at night and go on his own, is he too young at this point, or is there anything I can do?

I have a 3 1/2 yr. old boy who will not eat breakfast. He will drink milk or juice. If I ask him what he wants, he says pudding or fruit snacks. That I won't go for, I try yogurt or fruit instead. I offer many choices during the week, cereals, pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, doughnuts(which he'll eat the frosting off of, not the doughnut) etc. I also have two ohter kids, they both eat what is given to them . I don't want to cater too much to just one child. I need some ideas? He doesn't eat well at any meal, by the way. Eats like a bird and is very picky.

My daughter will be 5 on oct.6. For the past year we have done many things to try to get her to quit. We have tried bandage tape on her thumb, she takes it off when we aren't looking, then puts it back on. we have tried polish called stop the bite (to stop nailbiting), that tastes REALLY gross, but she picks it off and even though the taste is still there, she sucks it anyway. I've talked to her about it a lot. I've told her she will be starting school soon and she needs to be a big girl to go to school. The other kids might be mean and tease her. She is such a big girl, she shouldn't suck her thumb, it is babyish. Anything I've put on she takes off. I want to help her get rid of this habbit soon. Her dentist has shown me the effects this is having on her teeth as is adement she needs to stop. She already has a "moon". I have shown her this in the mirror and in pictures how it is getting bigger. Has anyone gone through this? Do you hve any advice that really works? Please hlep!!

My nephew is almost two years old, and at times he can be a perfect little angel. Other times, however, he like snaps and will start to throw things and punch and hit and bite and all that stuff. Its not a reaction to anything like being punished or having something taken away. He just will be playing and then all of a sudden he will attack who ever is closest to him. Is this normal for a 21 month old?

Is this out of control.? I don't know what to do. MY first child was in perfect health and my second was in a childrens hospital a week after we brought her home. She had reflux, milk allergy that made her bleed from her bottom. She had a lump in her breast (that was nothing) now she has had a rash on her bottom i can't get rid of, hard lumps on the base of her neck,and leg cramps during the night like crazy!!! I had a wonderful pediatrition (she was the local best) and we changed to another when the doctor didn't want to give her meds for refux because it caused no long term damage. If you have ever had reflux then you know why we changed doctors. The second doctor is just too relaxed and nothing is resolved. Are these related or is my daughter the one child that every one has that they have a hard time keeping healthy. I one need to change doctors again but, i can't find a good one, it was a big deal with the paper work, and no one will listen if i lswitch dr. all the time.

Say your toddler is screaming at you a lot, hitting the walls, laying on the floor and screaming non-stop. Hitting other children, throwing things, not listening to you when you say no.

******How do you punish them when you get really irritated with them? Your most drastic punishment?********

My 2 year old son put a circle motrin up his nose. As I was trying to get it from him he ran and needless to say sucked it up through his nose more. We used salt water and a surigen to suck most of the motrin out but not sure if he swallowed the rest or if we just can't see it. When we shine the light up there it looks like it is gone? He is now sleeping soundly, and seems to be breathing fine....Should I be worried or is it all gone?

I am frustrated, having had 3 children of my own, who are no longer in our hme I never thought this was going to be a problem. She thinks I am her real mom, so that is not the issue. But she is obstinent, lies, acts sneaky, is defiant, plays emotional games between my husband and I....I am growing extremely frustrated. No matter what punishment form I have tried nothing has worked, and trust me I have tried many. Anyone wanna give me some suggestions? Her biological mother is in the process of getting clean and sober and will get visits eventually if she continues to be sober, this child believes I am her mother, although we try to be honest with her, I think she is too young to explain it all to. But that really isn't the issue anyway. It is her behavior. In front of others, she makes me look like an ogre. She just refuses to follow the rules we have laid down and at times her father does not back me up. Sometimes I wonder if I don't expect too much from her. I don't know.

He's always spoiled his son, but lately it is beginning to show. The boy is about 16 months old now, I guess, and he pitches fits, cries, and has to get his own way about everything!!
This is all fine and dandy until it's my turn to watch him. I don't want him just running around getting into stuff. Just the other day he turned his milk over ON PURPOSE and everyone got mad at ME for telling him not to do that anymore!!
I love the kid and I don't want to stop watching him anymore, but how do I deal with his tantrums while maintaining a good relationship with the parents??

I don't know where it comes from. When he doesn't get his way, he screams and smacks and arches his back. I correct him by telling him no and doing what I hate...smacking him back. But, he gets so mad and will smack anybody, even in the face. Isn't he a little young for this?? He isn't even talking yet...
