Toddler & Preschooler - November 2006

My son is a year old already but it seems like ever since he was born my daughter (who is almost 3)has been calling me by my first name and acting as if she doesn't know how to do things that she wouldn't want help doing before my son was born. Why do you think she has taken a few steps back developmentally and how can I get her to stop referring to me by my first name? It doesnt make sence that she would be jealous of her brother either, she has had no decrease in love and attention since before he was born to now.

My daughter has gotten out a couple times but not recently. She sleeps well at night and is on a regular schedule. Do you recommend keeping the door closed when you make this move as to not allow for roaming?

I know there are many questions like this, and mine probably isn't different, but I couldn't find one that asked exactly what I wanted to know. My child is a toddler. He cannot speak very well so i am judging by his actions that something is wrong. When he drinks milk he vomits. When he eats cheese and things to that sort he gets diarreah. The thing is i ahven't really been tracking this. I am not for sure it is each time he has the things that his stomach gets offset. Should I ask the doctor or wait until I know or sure since he is so young? Should i try giving him a glass of milk and seeing if he vomits? Is that cruel? Any suggestions or advice woul be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Do you agree that the 3's are much worse than the 2's. You always hear about the terrible 2's, but I have to say that I've had a much harder time with my little one since she turned 3 ---- I think it should be changed to the terrible 3's !!

Agree ??

He only likes hot dogs, chicken nuggets and meatballs. Beef, turkey, chicken breast and bacon all gets chewed up and spit out! Why does he do this? What else should I feed him?

My five year old that is adopted asked last night whos tummy she came out of we tried to explain things to her In a way that a 5 year old could understand did we make a mistake?
when i picked her up from school today her teacher told me she has been telling people that she has a Mother and a momma. And the other kids didnt understand what am I supposed to do??
It was a step parent adoption so her dad is her real father. But coming from the same background and being adopted I thought it would be ok to be honest??

He goes to be around 7 and falls asleep right away without a fuss. He has a nap of usually 1 1/2 to occassionally 3 hours every day. We tried putting him to bed later one night (at 8) and he woke up at 3! So we are now scared to put him to bed later. Any ideas?

This matter involves the Hague Petition, and thirteen countries that are in agreement with the US, to have childrn returned. The problem is really, my child was born in America, lived in France for 3 years, has dual citizenship, and now is considered French in France. It is based on habitual residency, not nationality.The situation is appaulling and slow to move. If you have a similiar experience to share, please do. There are currently 21 cases of international child custody in France involving the US. It is a new agreement only being signed into law in 1996. We have attorneys that specialize in this, but in France, we are in another ballpark. I have faith that it will work out, but considered posting something to see if there are others going through it as well... your feedback is welcomed.

My 18 month old son is going to give me a heart attack one day, if I feed him and give him the plate or bowl he will shove handfuls in his mouth, I watch him, like tonight he started off good, and then started taking handfuls of food but then dropping them back on his plate, figuring he was playing, until about the fourth time he tricked me and instead of dropping it shoved it all in his mouth. I try taking the stuff away and then he cries with a mouth full of food. I've tried only giving him one item at a time, but then he screams for the whole plate, I've tried hiding the plate-he's not fooled. I taught him "bite", which does no good, because then he just bites until it's all in his mouth. I taught him "one" and he puts one after another in his mouth. I've tried everything, and I just can't seem to get him to eat right, he wants to shove everything in his mouth, and when it gets bad is when he screams, because he usually has something in his mouth at that time. Any ideas? Thanks

He seems to be frustrated all the time. I have tried time out chairs, the corner and simply ignoring the behaviour. Nothing is working. He is too young to reason with. I need some helpful tips. Please!!!!

Hi, when my 17 m/o wants something she screams a really high pitched scream and kind of grunts also. I know that she cant communicate with me to let me know what she wants, but it is driving me insane. Even in the car if she drops something she screams and points what is the best way to handle this? Should I ignore the behavior (which is really hard) or what do I do? She does it constantly until she gets what she wants followed by whining. HELP!

My 18 month old daughter hardly speaks. She knows very few words and rarely uses them. She has a three year old sister that does the better part of her speaking for her. Sometimes, though, my 18 month old will burst out into uncontrollable laughter for no apparent reason. Is she just a funny child? Imagining funny things?? Or could this mean something else?

He can't name his colors. I've tried teaching him just as I did with my daughter. My daughter is now 6, she knew her colors when she was two. My son can't count either, though just recently he knows when there are 2 of something. But it's his not knowing colors that I am worried about. He'll be three on December 2nd. Is it possible he is color blind? I know all children are different and learn at different rates, but this has really been bothering me. His well-child checkup isn't until December but I'd like some insight before then. What's the normal age for a child to recognize and remember colors???
