My daughter just turned two and hasn't had her 12-15 month shots yet. We've been a little nervous about them. How do you space out your child's shots? My daughter is due for her DTap, MMR (the one I'm really scared about), HIB, Chickenpox, and Prevnar. There is no way I'm having all of those done on the same visit. So should I do just the MMR by itself and come back in a few months to get the others or what? No rude comments please.

My daughter goes to a private preschool (church school), there are thirteen kids in her class, a teacher and a teachers aide. I just got her school pictures back today and am rather upset about them. The mornig of pictures I took the time to do my daughters hair, put pigtails in and curled her bangs. In her picture she only has one pigtail in, I know that to expect her to keep it "perfect" until pictures is alot to ask of a three year old, but with three adults (teachers and photographer) would it have been to much to ask for one of them to either put the other pigtail back in or take the one that was in out? I mean she looks silly with one side up and the other down. I usually wouldn't be so upset, but these were her first school pictures. Now I have to pay thirty dollars for retakes. Which is more than I paid for the package that I purchased. I am just fuming right now and am tempted to call the school about it. What would you do?

We tried talking to her about it, telling her about appropriate times to do the same, time out at school/home, taking away favorite toys and scolding her....what next? Why am I embarassed? She does not exhibit this behavior at home, so I don't get it.

We booked a session with a prof. photographer including sons,ages 1 and 2. Stressing we needed the earliest appoint time to work around naps, the photographer showed up 20 minutes late. After some poses the kids no longer wanted to sit. We said it was best to move on to candids. There were pumpkins.The kids were having a great time playing with them. She kept forcing more posed family ones -then tried to bribe them with a TREAT - saying after mommy would get them a treat. To 1 and 2 year olds, treat means treat NOW. We said no, this created a meltdown. So,all I had was movie candy, it stained the mouths. The photographer,said no problem,she can fix that after. She then ended the session 30min early,saying she had what she needed. After seeing the proofs-later then she stated- they were terrible, and didnt meet the minimum # stated.We very civilly asked about this, she went off calling us bad parents. She now wont return calls/emails.We're out $70 for the sitting.Think we have a case?

Okay so I have a one year old son and his father lives in the same town as me in Connecticut but his the majority of his family live in Philly, PA. We were together when I told him that he could take our son out there to visit...now we aren't and I cannot change my answer. I trust that he will not let anything happen to our son but I am still really nervous. Is letting him go to meet his family that he's never seen (without me) the right thing to do???

I have twin two year olds. We just recently put them in "big kid" beds, and for a good 3 weeks they've slept in to about 8:00am.

Lately though they are waking up at 6:30am, when it is still pitch black outside. They open their door, which wakes us up, and try to get out, but there is a gate there to stop them. They are very happy at this time, and usually are quiet with just a few giggles. Regardless, this is way to early for children to be up in our household.

Does anyone have any ideas about how I can encourage my children to sleep in? I've been waking up and tucking them back in bed, but this doesn't work, as they're back up in 10-15 minutes.

Help! The time changes next week, which means they'll be up at 5:30 am!!

I babysit staying all night at my daughter's three nights a week. Occasionally, my 18 mo. old granddaughter wakes up crying , screaming and hollering her own language with "Mommmmy" puntuating the tirades.

Last night it was off and on for four hours. Her Mom, Dad, and I tried five separate times to calm her down and we left her to scream a few times as well.

She stops for ten or 15 minutes and starts up again. It's not a pain, cold, or wet/soiled scream. It's eerie, trancelike or even like she's still asleep. She doesn't acknowldege us and her eyes are kind of vacant. Is she dreaming? Should we be concerned? Should we try to wake her up?

I can manage fine because I can take a nap when she and her four year old sister do but my daughter and her hubby have to get up at five to go to work/school .

It breaks my heart to see her so inconsolable. She is always fine in the morning though a bit tired. Help!

I am a stay-at-home mom in Ohio, wanting to provide childcare for 1-4 hours at a time for those running errands/shopping up the road from me, which is where all the shopping in the area is. This is not a permanent situation. I don't know how much to charge per hour. Do I charge less per hour if someone has 2 or 3 children?

My 15 month old hates to sleep. She very rarely takes a nap during the day and will finally fall asleep anywhere between 11pm and midnight and will generally wake back up around 2am and will be up and down the rest of the night. I put her anywhere near her crib and she screams. Yes I have made the mistake and put her to bed with me because I need some sleep. I am going crazy with this and just don't know what to do. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them (this is my first child)

I have a 2 year old boy, and he takes his diapers off constantly, usually after he pees or even when he doesn't. Does that mean he is ready for potty training, and anyone know of any good ways of getting him ready, we have already bought the potty and its in the bathroom waiting for him, Thanks :)

I have an out of control 4 year old. This past year has been really tough on him. He's had alot of changes. From grandma passing away, to my husbands layoff from work & him being home with me & my son 24/7 for 2 straight months, our pregnancy & birth of his brother, moving out of the only home he has known to a new place 2200 miles away. He has no respect, back talks constantly (more than most 4 y/o), tantrums, doesnt share with anyone, hits,kicks & is aggressive towards adults & other children, constantly gives me ultimatums (ie:well if you dont let me do this then I'm gonna break "blank"). He'll be fine for quite some time then its like Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. When he isnt getting his way & throwing a tantrum or angry you cannot talk to him or reason with him. Me & my husband have tried positive reinforcement, times outs, taking toys & privledges & spanking. Im not for spanking but it seems that is the only thing that will work & it's only a temporary fix. Any advice? What works for you
