my wife is a procrastinator and we wanted to have the abortion earlier, but things came up and we never got it done. well now the kid is two and its kinda chunky and it screams a lot when we go out even though we soundproofed the kids room, the neighbors still hear and complain. we'd put the kid up for adoption, but she's pretty ugly......thanks

My daughter is 31/2 and refuses to wear anything other than nappies. She screams if I take her nappy off and then holds herself and panics. She gets almost hysterical and I give in and put her nappy back on because I cant bear to see her so upset. She wont sit on the potty and tells me she is frightened of it. She wont use the toilet so we brought another potty but that has helped, she wont go on that on either. My other daughter is 18 months old and I started to try to potty train her in the hope that it will show my oldest there is nothing to worry about. But whenever my youngest is on the potty or in pants my eldest freaks out and starts panicing. I dont want her fears passed to my youngest. What should I do?

At the day care where I work, there is one 4-year-old girl who is terrified of going into the bathroom. She pitches a screaming, sobbing fit for no reason I can see.
It takes about 5 minutes for the other kids to use the restroom, and 15 minutes to coax her into going. What can I do? Is this a normal fear??

What's the hot item for toddlers this year? Any suggestions on what to get my daughter for Christmas? She's a little bit behind developmentally due to being two months premature. Any SPECIFIC suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

She loves animals, babies and her brothers toys, but has plenty of regular dolls and stuffies.

Sometimes on fairly long rides I have to keep handing my son his drink and taking it from him, is there a safety reason why they just don't have an attachment on the car seat to hold a cup or even some snacks?

While I was in the kitchen preparing some breakfast, my 14 month old son got a hold of a bottle of baby oil, and drank it. He didn't drink that much, but still......there is perfume in it. Is this going to seriously harm him?

When I take my 3-year old to a playground, I try to let her socialize and deal with other kids on her own, but I always try to get her to share her things- pail and shovel, etc.
Recently, she took her favourite backpack to the park, and had it on her back. A little friend of hers (same age), wanted it and asked for it (my little one gave it up, although not happily). After a while, she came running to me saying she wanted it back. The other girl didnt want to give it back, and I found it tough to deal with the girl to give it back. I'd normally count on the other child's parents to step in, but this particular girl has nannies who don't really watch or care about what she's doing.
What's the best thing to do? When should kids be taught to share their things, and when is it ok to step in and protect their personal belongings? Any opinions?

I have a child that is completely uncontrollable, he is 3. The doctors and state officials want to put him on medication, but I think that if I put him on an 8ft leash inside my house then he can't hurt himself or my other children (which he does), or destroy things (which he does). I put him in his room and he tears the walls, window, bed and hangers up. I figure if I put him on a leash in the living room he can still interact with the family and be put on an award system. Each 30min that he behaves he will get a new toy, when he misbehaves he will lose a toy. I'm feel as though I'm out of options, time outs don't work, room time doesn't work, spankings don't work, hot sauce doesn't work, etc. I love my son and if I can't get a grip on him now, what am I going to do when he's older? I have no problem letting the doctors medicate, but I know that he is going to need some type of behavioral help also. Any ideas, any one? Thank you!!

I have tried what seems like everything to try to break my girls habit of throwing things but nothing seems to work. She throws things when she is mad and when she is just sitting around relaxing. I dont know what to do or how to stop it, does anyone know what will work?

We've pretty much let our kids go to bed by their own rhythms, but now I think that I should enforce a proper bedtime. For awhile I was trying to get my boy (the older one) down by 9 and my 15 month old down by 10:30pm . I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks.

No exageration, but, my son will be 2 the latter part of October. He can count to 12, but misses number 5, and understands the concept of counting(uses his finger to point to what he is counting, or will count on his fingers) I never really pushed this or anything, I would just in general everyonce in a while say , how many _____ are their, and count, usually only to four. He is also starting to sing the ABC song, but only knows half the letters. Is this really good, or average for this age?

I'm crying as I write this because I am at my wit's end.
here's the situation:
My son is 2.5
he is very aggressive
he pushes, bites and hits
I just had a friend over I just made the other day and after my son pushed her daughter a few types she said "I am going to have to leave if he keeps pushing her" and 10 minutes later she did.
He's been kicked out of 2 daycares for biting

this is some background info on how I've been raising him:
the first year I spoiled him, taught him no patience.
constantly entertained him and kept him satisfied with toys and snacks immediately.
I instilled no ability of patience or tolerance because I tended to his every need within 5 seconds.
Then when he developed this aggressive behavior towards others I would punish him by putting him in his room for 2 minutes- I stopped doing that because I thought maybe it is too harsh.
I know put him in time-out on a chair.
I yell at him about 1-2 a day (not screaming-that happens 1 every 3 days or so)

Well I told her why don' t you tell them you don't like that and for them not to say bad stuff she says because they will tell the teacher and the teacher will give her time out, I told her well then you tell the teacher first and she said the teacher will give me time out to. What should I do with this situation should I tell her to tattle or tell the kids something?

She is a pre-schooler 3 and 3 months old, at home I help her by completing removing the panties, at school she is supposed to do it by herself and every day there is an accident. Should she sit further inside and pull her panties all the way down ,any tips would be really helpful.

After 7 hours of Elmo's laughing and then this little song, playing over and over and over, I'm loosing my mind. I took the sound things out of stuff when my own daughter was young, don't think I should do that to someone else's toys, but they put the playpen in my office, (NOT HER OWN YOU NOTICE) because she couldn't get any work done......now neither can I ???? Help before Elmo pushes me over the edge.

she is 17.9 lbs. and a year old. at her checkup the doctor said she is in the 75th percentile for height and the 3rd for weight. she did not make a big deal about this but now i am concerned. she is active and appears healthy. i have always been thin as are my brothers and mother. i think it is hereditary but she definitely does not eat the amount reccommended in the baby books. i offer her food all the time.

His dad gave it to him once; he liked it. But I don't want him to have it again if it could do him harm. My son, however, liked it (NO, there was no hot sauce in it!)

Thanks in advance!
