Ok....have I lost control or is this normal? I have a 19 month old daughter who is throwing tantrums about EVERYTHING!! Screaming, kicking and yelling "NO" when I try to redirect her. I remove her from the situation and am consistent but it feels like she is getting worse and could care less about that. On occasion I have swatted her hand or leg and told her no and she just hits me back. Last night she flushed my cell phone down the toilet and I lost it and screamed at her and put her in her play pen so I could calm down. I am at my wits end and do not want to lose control and get on her level and scream and act like a kid myself. PLEASE someone with similar experince tell me how to get control back. She is so smart and talks very well, we have a steady schedule and do plenty of things together like read and play in her room or at the park when I get off work. I do not want to raise a brat.....help!!

I love the children's shows on t.v. My toddler has been educated and entertained- she really blossoms from many experiences incuding television. Why isn't God and Church discussed or made part of the theme of our kids t.v? Who would like to see that?

Ok, so my kid likes to eat corn by the handful, I think he just swallows them, because the next day I can see a bunch of whole kernels in the stool? I guess they server as good fiber...

shes 3, and knows that a vagina is a vagina...not a hoo ha, a penis is a penis...not a wee wee, and that she has a clitoris. She knows that boys have a penis and girls have a vagina, and she is obsessed with boobies. No the child is not being abused, just naturally curious, and as her mother I would rather her grow up with the proper terminology, and a healthy attitude towards her body, not a shameful one.

shes going to preschool soon, should i give her teachers a heads up, that even though we talk to her about only talking about her parts at home, that sometimes she will talk about them in public?

I am starting a job nannying for a 16-month old little boy, and I want to go in with some great ideas as to how to engage him in acitivities. So, what are some good games, songs, and activities for this age? I hope to work on his language and his fine motor skills, if that helps to narrow it down.

My son is almost 2 years old and I can see a major difference between him at daycare and him at home and it is because he has a routine at school. I have tried to start a routine for nights at home but I can't seem to follow it. Does anyone have any helpful advice that has helped them? Also, what do I do on nights when we go visit grandmothers how do I work that into the schedule without disrupting the routine?

I have a three year old at home with me during the day, and I feel like I'm always shooing him away to get my work done, but it's counter-productive because it makes him even clingier. The hubby and school age kids look at me like I've been eating bon bons all day since the house isn't any cleaner than when they left in the morning. Daycare isn't an option until I'm actually making money with this new endeavor, and kind of defeats the purpose of working at home anyway. I know there is a way to get it all balanced, I just need some guidance and practical advice from someone who's got it going on. Thanks!

She has been the center of my world for so long I am afraid of how she will react. We talk about baby but I am not sure she realizes he will actually be in her house and her mother's lap soon.

Sometimes I have to fart when I am in public. It's funny to do it quietly, while walking slowly around the store, so that everyone can share in the experience.

How does this relate to screaming children, you ask? It's simple. Have you ever been in public (not farting, of course). Near you, there is a child that is screaming, running, hitting things, and just being a total twit, while the parent stands by, oblivious to the disturbance. It's as if, they have to put up with their miserable child, so everyone else should too. Well, that is the same reasoning I have with the products of my nasty @ss. I figure, I have to deal with it, so you should too.

They may be proud of their child. Since I don't have a child, I figure, I should be proud of my farts. After all, I often think, "Hey, I made that!!"

My point is this. Every child throws a tantrum. Please, at least, try to do someting about it rather than idly standing by. If you take care of your child, I will stop farting. Deal?

my 3 yr old drinks 3-5 sippy cups at night, he whines and cries like he is having bad dreams- he has surgery when he was 6 months old i think it may have given him dry mouth-- my doctor said not to let him drink of a night to let him cry but i think thats harsh b/c he will cry until he wakes up and then he screams- you cant calm him down...any suggestions? PS he eats and drinks good during the day.

well in daycare his caregiver tells me how quiet and shy he could be at times, but really, really sweet. He has this participation problem that he needs to work on. I've noticed it since he was little, i thought it was just a phase but it's also a problem in school. Sometimes i find him hard to stay in one place for not even 30 seconds. he's always moving. Anyway, hes realy active though, i was told that he is really smart. im just concerned could him having participation problems and not being able to sit in one place for a very long time a symptom of ADHD/ADD?
