Toddler & Preschooler - November 2006

I wanted to put my 15 month old son in daycare and I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on Childtime Learning Center. They seem like a nice place for my child but I can't find any reviews for them that aren't on thier website.

My son is 2 1/2. I can not bring him out ANYWHERE or sign him up for preschool. I know what most of you are thinking...stop cursing around your kid, what kind of parent are you. But we DON'T. I am sure every once in a while he has heard something our of our mouths, but it is VERY rare. But says every curse. SOB, F***, G** D*** it, Shut your mouth. He even tells us we will go in time out. And he knows how to use every work correctly. How do I stop this. We have tried ignoring it completely, time outs, taking away toys and giving him different words to use likle Phooey, Silly etc. Am I doomed to have a rude horrible child???

The local schools expect me to enter my 4-year old into their reception class. She will get taught all of 3 hours a day and there will be no lunchtimes included. They tell me it will give her a routine for when she starts school proper when she is 5. (They also tell me that if she don't do their reception class they can't promise they will have space for her when she starts proper?!?)

So when i tell them she has been at nursery since before she could walk and we have slowly added extra hours now she gets 3 full days of nursery a week. She goes in between 8.30 and 10.00 and gets picked up at 5.30. She gets to have dinner with her friends on those days (that's the way she sees it).
So how can they claim it is productive to break that routine, send her on a new routine for a year and then change it all again when she start school proper? And they don't even provide a lunch hour in pre-school!

Can anyone explain

My 4 year old son had very severe cradle cap.. He's always had it.. As a baby I used baby and olive oil.. Recently the doctor gave him some foam prescription medication, and it worked wonderful, but it pulled a lot of his hair out along with the scabs.. It doesn't seem to be growing back yet and b/f I take him back to his doctor I wondered if anyone else has had this problem and can help me?

I am a working mom of five. My husband stays at home with the kids four days a week and I stay at home on the fifth day. I am an attorney but I make an effort to be home by five so we can all spend time as a family, eating together etc. Our three youngest (1,3,5) are usually in bad by six thirty and the older two(12/13) go to bed between seven and seven thirty. Recently the two older kids have been arguing against this and I have pushed his bedtime to 8,he is still not happy.What should I do,are bedtimes a thing of the past?
They are up at six every morning and I think it is important that they have a good nights sleep as they are very active all day. It also gives myself and my husband a bit of alone time in the evenings.

I have a 4 year old son. He is normally a sweet little boy. The past 3-4 weeks, he has been a terror at daycare. He gets into trouble by biting,pinching.and hitting his friends. Then, when he gets put in time-out...he freaks out. The teachers are telling me that he refuses to stay in time-out and will hit and bite then as well. He doesn't act out like this at home, with his dad, or at his grandma's house. I just don't understand. He went from being an angel to a little devil in a months time. These are the only things I can think of that could have caused this sudden outburst.....

1. He's got new teachers at daycare. And just last week, one just up and left in the middle of the day and didn't come back!

2. My boyfriend(who has lived with us for over a year) started taking him to daycare in the mornings. He doesn't have a very set schedule so Justin will go in anywhere from 8am to 11am.

3. Another little girl at the daycare was just recently kicked out for her bad behavior.

How do I form this new habit? I read that you can start by sleeping one hour earlier than usual for a few weeks untill you can get used to sleeping at 11pm. Does it work? My mind seems to be programmed to go to bed at 2pm only. Any other ways to kick this 10-year long bad habit?

I can't hardly sleep anymore! o.k. my kids should be over that stage of not sleeping at night fully but all of a sudden...my youngest who is 2 almost 3 keeps getting up and saying my name and coming in my room and disturbing me through the night...I have to almost whip him everynight just for him to stay in his room. I've tried watching tv with him, rubbing his back, taking him a warm bath, ect. I don't get a good night's rest and he doesn't want to get up in the morning...What can I do?

She get changed right before bed..and doesnt really get too much liquid during the day. She has a bottle before bed...but not immediatley before or anything.she wakes up around 7or 8 most day and has a bottle of milk then with breakfast..and probably has another bottle of juice before lunch around 12...or 1. then probably another bottle or 2 before dinner around 5 or 6. then one before bed at around 8 or 8 or 9pm. But even when she gets changed right before bed she still has a diaper burtsting off of her when she wakes up and she sleeps through the night so i really dont want to wake up and wake her up just to change her..but we are ruining lots of sheets and making her crib smell...We'd like to start potty training her soon. She takes her diaper off alot at night too. But they say if they sleep through the night and are dry thats when they're ready...I just dont know lol. anyone know?? lol

My oldest daugther will be turning 6 next month, but it has being almost a week that at morning when getting ready to go to school she says "I don't want to go to school". I have ask her if it is something wrong at school and she just come out with excuses like I don't like to color, I don't want to go out side and play or I just want to stay with you... She is an A & B student and usually she doesn't like to miss school even if she is sick, because she doesn't want to missed.. I'm kind of worried can it be something wrong at school or maybe is the fact that I'm pregnant ( 6 months, expecting a gir) maybe she is just a little jelouse or starting to feel that she migth not be loved anymore.. I try to spend as much as time possible with her and her little brother so they won't feel that they will be left aside.. any advices on what to do or what can be wrong ??? Will be helpfull !!!!

My son is 2 years old. He refuses to eat vegetables of any type. Actually, there aren't many foods that he will eat at all. I know a lot of it is just plain stubbornness, but he will gag and get sick on a few things. I've tried praising him, offering him treats if he will just try something. I do spank my child for other offenses, but I don't think this is appropriate in this case because it is such an issue with him. I don't want to give him a complex or anything. I give him vitamins and the occasional pediacare shake, but I know this isn't enough. He will eat bananas and apples, but that's all the fruits he will eat. Am I doing okay? Should I just relax and wait til he grows up a bit?

What do other mom's give their kids if they can't tolerate milk? Do I continue with stage 2 formula's? I know I am supposed to limit the juice, but he's starting to only want that, and I want to curb that habit quickly!! He doesn't seem to want water. Awaiting our doctor visit, need some ideas in meantime!

healthy would be great, but not necessary.
... and not too complicated to make, since i would like to have her help a little, and she's not quite 3.

thanks!

I have a 15month old that is having a hard time going from formula to milk. I have tried mixing the two, but he KNOWS. He is now starting to look at the bottle when we give it to him and if it isn't juice he will throw the cup down! I have considered the possiblity of milk allergy, but I think he's just being stubborn. Any tips?

I am 22 years old and got my very first case of strep throat at 15 and every since than I have tonsilitis at least four to five times a year and doctors will not take my tonsils out because they say they only do that to kids. Well, I'm tired of it because I have an eight month old and husband to take care of and can't do it when I'm down on the couch running fever and can't eat so therefore I'm weak and have no energy at all. I know there are adults that have this surgury done. So, I was just wondering if anyone else had the same problem and how they finally convinced their doctor?
