Toddler & Preschooler - October 2006

My 4 yr. old daughter continues to have accidents every day. (Only #1, never #2) It's usually just 1 a day, but happens every day, either at pre-school or home. I have tried treats, punishments, funny games and songs, even taken her to the doctor twice to make sure there was no medical problems. She just won't stop and go potty! I AM STUMPED!! Any suggestions???

I have a little boy in Headstart, they usually have a Christmas party for the kids sponsered by a few local companies, this year we have to do an outside christmas party, because we are no longer allowed to have anything to do with Christmas on company time. My question is....do you have any ideas on how I can raise money to buy gifts and food/supplies for the party..If we take any donations made to Headstart we have to use them for school supplies..so I need cash or actual gifts bought for the kids...By the way, there are a few kids in the class that will have nothing for Christmas so I'm realllly trying to help them have a memorable holiday..just cant afford to do it all by myself. (there are 22 kids in the class) Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

I have a 5year old and a 2 year old, I think they are bueatiful and funny. Everyone I know says I should put them in television, even strangers. I don't know if it is to much pressure on them so young? Or if being cute and funny is enough?

My daugher is 2 and she is VERY intellegent, knows 1-20 and 1-10 in spanish, colors, numbers , can identify numbers, is polite, loves to dance, just normal but on the other side she just seems very particular where everything has to be in order or nothing can go on, and if its not how it happened yesterday then we cant do it differently today, she is different every day, her moods.. She may want something today and not tomorrow. She counts everything and when she doesnt like something she just gets on the ground and just crys and wont move and if we try to touch her she screams and kicks , if we try to move away from her she screams, this morning we found food stuck in her mouth from last night that i had to PRY out of her mouth, she doesnt like other kids touching her, she doesnt like to share, should i be concerned. She truely is a " GOOD " child but she can change that in a hearbeat.. Any suggestions

Within the past few weeks my son's eating habits have changed. The foods he used to like he turns his nose up now and his appetite has slowed down. Is this normal or should I be concerned. Is there anything different I can try with him.

Whats the avaerage age for toilet training children? Also, is it true that if a child is uncomfortable in their nappy then they will learn to be toilet trained faster or is that just an old fashioned thing?

I need to know how her waist measures... I am having someone make her some doll diapers and I need her waist measurements. I am hoping someone would be so kind as to measure her for me.
My daughters birthday is Sat and she is getting this from my mom. Disposable diapers are expensive enough on a real baby. lol Thank you !

Thanks!

We can clap, say her name loudly, waive our hands in front of her face and she does not respond for several seconds. It is almost eery. I am concerned that there could be a medical or developmental issue. She does this for no apparant reason and sometimes several times a day.

My 13 month old son won't drink anything signifigant from a cup. He drinks from it, but only an ounce or two. He won't drink milk or formula from a bottle - per dr. advise I added a scoop of Ovaltine to milk and he will drink 16 or so ounces a day but only from a bottle. Should I take away bottle completely and only give cup then he will have to drink eventually?

She has been potty-trained well over a year and just in the past two weeks started wetting her pants quite often and just last night urinated in a box. Then today after she wet her pants again, I found her crouched down in a corner in her room and I think she was trying to poop in the corner. I don't know why she is doing this?!!
