I know a lot of people say time outs work at home for when a child is hitting or otherwise behaving unacceptably. But my daughter has been hitting me lately when she gets mad, like in the grocery store. (She is 2 yrs. and sits in the cart while I shop.) How do you deal with it when you are out somewhere? I obviously can't use a time out in the store, and it wouldn't make sense to do it when we get home - she would never remember why, and it would be too late. Any suggestions?

Also, I won't hit her back (a bit hypocritical, when I'm trying to teach her not to hit people), all I can do is tell her not to do it. But obviously that's not always effective...

I have not discplined her before and now that I haven't I don't know if she'll get it if I do. How do I make her understand a time out. I refuse to spank my child. Don't know what other options are out for a child of this age.

my newphew seems to have nightmares because he sometimes kicks and swings his arms around. I don't know if that wakes him up and in turn immidiately wants a bottle and will ask for it until I eventually give in and give it to him. What can I do to stop him from waking up so many times during the night? By the way he only drinks milk during the night. In the day he drinks water and juice only. He does not want milk unless is in a bottle.

My daughter cries about anything everyday atleast 6 times a day. If she can't do something she would give up and start crying if she can't find something she cries if she has trouble putting on her clothes instead of asking for help like she knows she is supposed to, she cries and it's a whole lot more but too much to type. And it's usually small thing that's not a big deal. When I ask her why is she crying she says she doesn't know. I explain to her that she is a big girl and only babies communicate by crying and that big girls should talk to people to let them know what is wrong she cries as I tell her this. I don't yell at her and I am very nice to her so why is she crying so much? What should I do to get her to stop it is really gettin annoying and frustrating.

Please advise, her mom thinks it is funny i do not. Here are a few examples. When we go someplace, she will take things like car keys that are on a table, the other day we went to the beach and she picked up a mans bait bucket and i had to chase her to get it. We walked out of walmart the other night and she had a container of pop corn chicken under her arm. She always has to have things in her hands. Whenever we leave to go someplace she has to have something, doesn't matter what, even a crayon. I tell her she can have a toy in the car , but can not take it in the store, then she has a hissy when we get out of the car. She obsesses with things. She got new sandals with velcro and sat in a chair for 2 hours taking them on and off. And when you tell her to stop or try to direct her to something else she freaks. I finially had to put the shoes on the fridge , the noise was driving me crazy. She stomped down to the bedroom and screamed her head off. Help , this is not normal!

My wife and I having been trying to get her potty trained. We have been able to get her to go pee, but not # 2. She will not always go pee on the potty, but she knows when she has to go. When she has to go # 2 she will go hide some where and grunt.

What is the best way to get her trained? She has to be potty trained to go to preschool.

I try everything to get my 2.5 yr old ot leave the playground and in the end here I am 9 months pregnant literally dragging him to the car. I try telling him Daddy's home now let's go see him. I try telling him your milk is in the car let's go get it. Itry if you don't listen I am giving you time out when we get home. I try speaking to him in a stern voice. I try picking him up but he just dives down. I just don't know what to do. I have to drag him by the wrist and wiggles around so much I feel like I'll brake his wrist.

I know people are going to tell me to take away a toy or put in time out but what do I do at that moment when I need to get him in the car?

My son is 3. When riding in the car he takes of his harness and gets out. I have punished him numerous times for this yet he still does it; what can I do to correct this? We do not take long trips (30 min. max).

My son is 20 months old and pees every single time put him on the potty. He has been doing so since he was about 18 months old, however, he has lost interest in it over the last few weeks, and I am wondering if I should try a food reward. My babysitter mentioned it initially, and intially I disagreed (in my head-not outwardly) because I have food issues and don't know if it's a good idea. What is your experience with this and would you reccommend it?

She already counts to 16 perfect. Sings alot of the Alphabet correctly. And also speaks in 5 word sentences, and used the words correctly. She adds the word "the" in her sentences also. Seems to understand as good if not better then my 4 year old. She knows her shapes, colors and has been stacking blocks 6 high since I think 10 months. She was walking at 9 months.

I found one reply funny. "Shave her head". When I told my daughter that was said, she started crying and said she would always listen and not to shave her head. I just want to thank the person who said that.

Thanks
