My little baby doggie is 4 yrs old. He looks at you and you melt. After all these years, I thought I found the perfect punishment by dangling my keys. It worked for two days and now he just looks at me like I am strange and ignores me. Is he smart or ignorant or just spoiled?

Well we think she is smart, she learns so fast when I teach her something new. She knows 21 ASL signs.Knows her primary colors,were are working on the alphabet a bit more, but knows some letter recognition...
But my Q is she counts to ten on her own and counts her toys, and when I put each finger up she will count aloud to ten along with each finger.

My husband & I just notice that our almost 4 yr. old son is talking wierd. He will say a sentence and after that sentence or word he would do a "mm mmm" or a "umm mmm" sound each time.
What is this? His old ped. dr. said he probably needed some speech classes but, this was way before this happen. Why is he doing this? Is it his speech or something else? I'm so worried

My daughter is spitting up her milk and she has the runs, but no fever. I had put her on regular milk , from formula about a week ago, does thins mean that her system is not ready for regular milk. This is what I was told, but wouldn't this have happened a week ago. This just started happening last night. I'm taking her into the doctor tomorrow, I just wanted some feedback from some experienced mothers out there.

I'm having a hard time finding things my 18 month old will eat. He doesn't want baby food anymore and seems to not want anything else, even mac n cheese!

I want to get my son's preschool teacher and his helpers something for the holiday's this year as a way of saying thanks for all theyve done for us. His teacher is male, and one assistant is male and other female....what are some budget worthy ideas to get them all for the holiday's without seeming like a suck-up?

My 17 month old is throwing some of the worst tantrums. She throws herself on the floor and hits her head on the floor as hard as she can or any other hard piece of furniture. She screams, hits, bites, and scratches anyone and anything in her way. She just started stomping on the floor when we tell her NO. My question is what are some ways we can stop the tantrums or calm them down?

At what age did your children stop taking naps?
I have a 4 year old that doesn't take naps, but can't remember when she stopped. I also have a 22 month old that usually takes about an hour nap everyday, but for the past few days has not been taking a nap, and gets VERY cranky by about 7 pm, which is too late for her to take a nap, or she would be up all night. We have not been doing anything different, such as going out shopping and such, and I am a stay at home mom, so she can always go lay in bed for her nap, which is what she usually does.
Thanks!!

last week my wife was called in by the teacher to have a meeting about her behavior. It seems at recess time she likes to chase little boys around while she flashes them. She's never done this before, as she's more into coloring and ponies. her sexual exploits are tearing the family apart and I dont know what to do anymore. is she going to grow up to be a whore? is there no hope? her granmother was babysitting her for a while and I think this may have something to do with it.

She freaks out when we put clothes on her and says they are too tight, she frreaks out when we put her in her car seat and says that is too tight. She will not eat hardly anything, she freaks out and DEMANDS that I (her father) lay with her at nap time until she falls asleep. She is VERY BOSSY! VERY WHINNY! She makes her mother cry from frustration nearly daily. She does not respond to spanking AT ALL. Nor has any other form of disipline seemed to help with these frustrating moments. She can be very hateful telling us to leave and that she does not love us or need us and then when we leave she crys that we left her. She says that she will be a good girl all the time but never changes how she acts. It is as if she feels no pain even with a hard spanking. She will continue the whinning and the demanding, bossing attitude that got her spanked to begin with. We have become very reactional, and we do not like it. She has a 1 yr. old sister who is a joy, but we fear she will pick up on this.

There is a group of guys that wear blue coveralls and they sing great little songs that give messages like manners or growing up or helping. There is a song they sing about sleeping in their own bed at night. For those kids that seem to get scared and sneak into their parents bed in the middle of the night. I think it is called, "I love my mommy, I love my daddy". Part of the song has "and now I'm sleeping in my bed at night". Anyway, I'm trying to get the words to the song but I can't remember what the name of the group of guys is. I was able to get the words to another song I heard on Playhouse Disney that another guy sings. The guy with the crazy hair. So I thought if I could just figure out what the name of the group was, I could get the words to the song. Anyone else's kids watch Playhouse Disney enough that you can remember what these guys are called?
They are usually just played between other shows like "Dan Zane's House Party", and Choo Choo Soul. Song breaks.

At what age do you start letting a small child (boy, in my case) wipe himself after going #2 I know he will have to learn before he starts PK but its such a messy job, I just prefer to do it myself as long as I can to make sure he is clean (tushey AND hands) His parents are of little help!

Signed,
A loving babysitter
