Toddler & Preschooler - November 2006

I Work at a day care and a young mother wants us to begin training her son, but we feel he is way to young, he can barley walk, he turned a year old about a month ago, and she is still keeping him in diapers! She is up set that we havent been training him, the problem is that no one told me when I started last week that he was being trained. He isnt talking much yet, does this to seem to early and extream of a thing to do so soon? Any suggestions about how to talk to the mother with out getting her up set would be helpful, Thank You for your answers in advance!!

I am a mother of a four year old daughter, who is terribly lonely and needs to make new friends. I am homeschooling her at this time. What local groups are availiable in new orleans for my daughter, I'd like to strengthen her social skills. Instead of asking for toys this year for Christmas, she asked for friends.

I have noticed my 15month old daughter has no Moles. I was just wondering will she get them later on in life?

I need ideas about toys that have worked for other kids. My daughter is almost 17 months old and we have spent hundreds in toys that she will not play with. She actually has 1 toy that she plays with constantly, an Elmo and Cookie Monster magna-doodle. It is like toys geared to her age bore her. She would rather mess with grown up stuff. Has anyone else has a child more interested in remote controls and cel phones then the classic fisher price toy or am I the only one?

We just moved out of state so I wasn't going to push it, but I know eventually before she starts school, we will need to work on breaking her of this habit!

Like for the past 3 week she has complained of her forehead hurting about 2 or 3 times a week.. It would go away after a couple minutes and she would be fine. Yesterday her forehead hurt so bad she started to cry and asked to lay down. Today she is fine. I made a Doctor appt. but they can't get her in for another week. She's not sick and she's never suffered from allergies. Any ideas what could be ailing her?

My daughter is 2 and 99% potty trained. She cannot however stay dry through her naps or at bedtime. (Twice during naps she has actually stayed dry) Do they learn this on their own or do you "train" them? And how. Thanks!

If I rub her back muscles she says that it helps. Just wondering what it could be.

My soon-to-be 2yo already knows letters, numbers, colors, and puts together sentences (been doing this since about 18 months). I don't know if that's advanced for his age or not. If it is, I want to continue to encourage it. And if it's not I don't want to push him thinking he's brilliant. I don't have anyother kids to compare to.

I read a lot about this and was expecting to see it in my son from the age of 7 months onwards (as the book said) but it never came! He is now 14 months and waves me of happily anytime I leave him with his grandparents.

I recently put him in a creche for the first time for 2 hours and he never batted an eyelid. The staff said he was great and he must feel really secure as he knows I'm coming back.

Is there something wrong?

My son is almost 14 months old and I have been at home with him the whole time and absolutely love it but I really would like to start working again. I think it is cos we've just moved and I dont know anyone and I think it would be good for both him and me if I worked a few days? Is that selfish? How would I go about it?

My toddler is 2 and a half, I still get changed/take baths infront of him. Today I said to him come sit in the bathroom while I have a bath he plays with his alphabet letters and sticks them on the side of the outside of the bath while Im in there, this has been the routine for as long as I can remember, so today he pipes up 'wheres mummy's willy?' So pretty stunned I explained that mummy doesn't have one because she is a girl, he looks puzzled and keeps asking, I didn't know what to say and just tried my best to distract him, anyway I don't know if I should cover up around him now or what to say mummy 'has' Im scared he is going to come out with it around other people and that could be very embarrassing. Do I ignore and wait until he is older? this is my first child so new territory for me.

I saw a child fall out of a shopping cart seat. As I was turning down an isle, a mother was reaching for something on a shelf and her 3 year old stood up in the seat and fell over the side of the cart. It was horrible! Luckily, the child wasn't seriouly hurt. The mother was worse off than the child. She kept crying and saying, "I only turned away for 2 seconds." I felt so bad for her. Since this incident, I've noticed in stores how often children stand up in shopping cart seats. I want to say something, but I don't want to offend anyone. I'm not a parent myself so I don't know what's appropriate to say. I saw a squirmy child the other day and the mother wasn't doing anything. As I passed I said to the boy, "Sit down, you don't want to get hurt." The mother shot me a dirty look. I felt like I was following them around the store waiting to catch him if he fell. He kept standing up and the mother did nothing. What should I do? I don't want to be rude. Should I really do nothing?

When a pushy 3-year old girl and gentle 5-yr old boy play together, the 3-year old pulls away the 5-yr-old's toys or bullies him all the time. They are not siblings - distant cousins living in the same town and so the chances of them meeting is quite frequent.

Who do I support during a conflict? The 3-year-old just because she is younger or the 5-year old because it is his toy the 3-year old is holding?
