Toddler & Preschooler - November 2006

i don't know what to do sometimes i think my son has popped about 20 energy pills he ahs so much energy and he is only 5 he has now recently started going to his sisters house before and after school and he comes home crying and screaming and throwing tantrums he never used to be like that and now it's to the point where i just can barely keep my temper he's driving me crazy... my friends tell me to get him tested for adhd but i don't think thats the problem... does this make me a bad mom for even thinking this and what should i do when he starts throwing his tantrums?

I restrict what my 13-mo old can eat because we have weight problems in our family. I do not let her eat sweets very often or snack on "empty foods", or drink sodas or anything but juice. Am I being too strict? She enjoys other foods and she doesn't get upset if I don't feed her sugary snacks. I'd like to think I'm keeping her healthy and I let her eat meats, fruits, veggies, and table food that we eat, but I see it as unnecessary to give her unhealthy snacks when they can be replaced with healthy food. Also, family members sneak her food such as cake and pie and this ticks me off. I tell them over and over NOT to give her food and they think I'm kidding. On Thanksgiving, I let her have pumpkin pie and I caught someone feeding her 1/2 a slice! They said I should let her try it, but had they asked, they would've known she'd already had PLENTY! Am I overreacting or should I stick to my guns?

My 2 year old is allergic to dust. She's got a recliner in her room that is pretty old (close to 20 years) that I rock her to sleep in every night. Is it worth the money to get it cleaned or should I just buy a wooden rocking chair and forget it? Anyone have any ideas?

My daughter loves to be in the center of attention. She sings, and makes up her own words. She dances when ever music is playing. She know the whole song to the PCD's song Buttons. When were in the car I have to play it over and over again! She is very smart and very, very beautiful. I cansee her going so far, but don't know where to start.

Ok I'll try to be breif..I met my husband when my daughter was 2. He has been her only father figure. She is now nearly 15, recently she has confided in me that her dad has been comming into her room at night. Now he has done this with my son as well..his bio/son. But lately she has been feeling uncomfortable about this because he likes to lay down in the bed with her. My husband HAS been known to sleep walk alot. But the other night he woke her up when he seemingly mistakenly grazed her breast. How do I handle this? How do I make my husband understand that it is NO LONGER appropriate to snuggle with our daughter at night...cuz it's freaking her out. She swears that he has never outright touched weirdly. But she and I are worried that he may in his sleep mistake her for me, thinking that he is in our bed and not hers. We also look exactly alike now? Should I be worried that maybe he is a closet freak..I don't know what to do.

Wsup guys.. my toddler is just over 3 years old and I have been going over "Saying no to strangers" drills.. and he's catching on. He will randomly ask me questions which a stranger would ask and I say no, and then he says no and I will ask him. Question is, is 3 too early to start telling him to say no to strangers? Of course at 3 he probably isn't sure exactly what a stranger is. Let me know if I am doing it right? Or should I wait?

My son is 4 next week and for a while I'd noticed that he couldn't hear me, so I took him to the docs', who said he has fluid behind the ear drum and to go back in a month if he's still not hearing right. He mentioned grommits, which is something I vaguely remember hearing about when I was at school...but what is it all about?! My health visitor has arranaged for him to have a hearing test at the hospital in the meantime, so if anyone can tell me what this is likely to involve too, I'd be grateful.

This makes our night's sleep always interrupted with bottle prep. Any magical suggestions? By the way, our baby is already 37 lbs, quite chubby, so we've gradually reduced the amount of powder milk scoops/bottle in half, rest water. She is 1/2 Filipina, 1/2 American, but still that is very high in the percentiles of weight/ht. She has rejected all other methods including pacifiers, talking, singing, rubbing, anything short of rocking... just seems to want the milk. The milk is very high quality, with plenty of vits, etc. Extremely healthy characteristics in all other ways. No worms, micro-organisms known of, only occasional gas could be a culprit. But the real question is how to alter/change the crying/whining habit.

My little girl is 23 months old and she can spell her own name (Marion) perfectly!!! Is she really as smart as I think she is or am I just being another mom who thinks her child is a genus? She can also open all of the child safety locks (I know, I know not safe). She can also type simple word and count to 5.
