How should i handle the selfishness. She turns 2 next month

My daughter is 19 months old and has trouble communicating. She says about 20 words and is more active physically than verbally. The doctor says she is fine but I am having the hardest time getting speech out of her. The frustration results in tantrums. Any suggestions to get her speech going?

My daughter is 2 1/2 years old and still uses a pacifier and it doesn't look like she will give it up anytime soon. We have narrowed her down to only using at nap time and bed time, but if she doesn't have it at those times she goes nuts and cries. She will even wake up in the middle of the night in a panic if she cannot find it. We've tried the pacifier fairy thing and she seemed to be having fun with it until bed time came. Her doctor said she would outgrow it by now. What do I do? Any suggestions

My son has just turned 2 today and we still haven't decided what to do for him. We don't have a lot of children with the extended family. We do have a 6 year old daughter though. He is a very active little boy, he loves music, playing catch, being chased, chasing others and drawing on paper.

When he was 1, I just had the family come over for cake and pizza and we opened gifts, but this time, I really want him to have a fun day - they kid of day where he's had so much fun he just falls asleep all of the sudden from all the excitement. Basically has so much fun his little body can't take any more, lol.

We are thinking of maybe doing a fun day at the Pier in San Francisco.

It's been 2 days since I last nursed my son who is 19 months. While I'm at it I'm "training" (for lack of a better word) to sleep in his big boy bed instead of mom's bed. He still wakes up several time a night but not as much as when he sleeps with me and nurses.

I am wondering how long did it take you to stop producing milk and for your child to sleep through the night after weaning.

Thanks for your help!

My daughter is 2 1/2 and has been doing reasonably well with peeing in the potty. We have our accidents, but for the most part, our days are dry. However, we have yet to poop in the potty. She wants absolutely nothing to do with it! We know her "normal" time and have tried sitting on the potty reading during that time, but nothing. Last night she got that look and I ran her in to the potty and we read, and we read, and we read, but to no avail. I asked her to try to poop, or toot on the potty, but she peed and that was it. After wards, she pooped in her pants. We try not to get her in "trouble" for accidents, but we can't seem to get the idea that pooping in the potty is fun too. After we clean her panties, she likes to watch the poop go when flushed, but isn't interested in making it go there first. Any body have the same problem or any ideas? (PS--don't know if it matters, but I guess her daddy was the same way. Pee was fine, poop was not until he was 4!)

How do you potty train a little boy? I have tried sitting him on the pot but he jsut screams and wants to get up. Does the potties with all of the bells and wistles really help more than a normal one?

I've been having problems with my 4 year old boy for about a month now. He has really been acting up at daycare and I just can't figure it out. The ladies at daycare say that he is a really good boy for the most part, but when he gets a time-out, he turns into a monster. He kicks and screams like crazy! I called today to check in on him and he was in time-out. I could hear him through the phone! His teacher put him on the phone and I told him to calm down and sit in time out like a good boy. I just don't know what to do. We've tried taking things away..time outs at home are never like they are at daycare. At home, he sits quietly until I tell him he can get up. What else can I do? I've told him that the best thing to do is just to be good so that he doesn't get time-out. I work an hour from home, so I can't just drop in and check on him during the day. Please help!! He's normally such a good boy, I just don't get it.

My son is potty-training. The worst time is when we are traveling and he wets in his carseat. Those things are such a pain to wash!! Sometimes it even leaks through onto the seat of the car and than all is lost, yuck haha. Any tips for these instances? So far I have made sure he goes potty before, and put a plastic bag under the carseat for extra protection. Anyone have any better ideas? Thank you in advance!

I dont know how my daughter survives on what she eats. Each meal she takes a few bites of each food and then she is done, she still drinks her milk and juice so I know she is hydrated. She use to be a pretty good eater, but now even her old favorites arent working. She has four teeth coming in now and has a bit of a runny nose (colds are going around due to weather changes). I try to feed her healthy foods (lots of veggies, fruit, cheese, and beans). I have heard about this age being picky and not too interesed in food. Any one gone through or going through this now? Any ideas on how to handle this? I'm a first time mom so this is all new to me. THanks so much.

I am a 23 year old single father to a 3 (almost 4) year old boy. since the death of my wife when our son was 1, I have gone on under a handful of dates and so far.
One girl 'used' my son coz he is a cute blonde hair blued eyed precious boy and plays mom for a a few weeks till she got bored of it and off she went (i don't want to put my son in a position where there are these women walking in and out of his life and certainly not use him as next weeks fashion accessory) and 2nd
Something suddenly come up when i tell her i have a 3 year old little boy. ( i'm not going to hide the fact i have a son, i'm proud of my little man). I'm not sure i'll ever be able to date again afetr horrible experiences now? At the moment i don't really want to date, it not a big deal as i am focussed on raising my son and i hae him to think about first and foremost. But i keeping getting pretty much harrassed and told by people around me i need to start dating? I'm so confused.

I'm a 23 year old single father of a 3 year old boy (soon to be 4). My Wife died after being hit by a drink driver when our son was a year old. I have told him mummy died (not in such a manner), and we gave her a star, which he says goodnight to before bed. I'm having trouble answering some of his recent questions, such as Why did mummy get taken away, Do we get another mom, Are you or me going to be taken away to, He's not upset while asking just curious, he asks them repetitavely, and my answers don't seem resolve his searching, i've told him what i think was approriate for his age, and didn't go into too much detail. Have i been doing the right thing or going about it the right way? Any information as to how to go about it better? IS it appropriate to be so candid (for lack of a better word) about death to a child of 3/4?
