Toddler & Preschooler - November 2006

Our 13 month old son keeps turning on the cold water on our water cooler (the hot has a childproof faucet on it, thankfully.) I can't seem to find any way to childproof the cold or block it off from his little hands.

My daughters were playing with my nephew the other day and my 1 year old wound up hurt. My nephew said my three year old did it and my 1 year old wasn't old enough to say who actually did it. My three year old didn't say anything, and I was furious about my baby having a bloody lip. I punished my three year old and wouldn't let her have cake before bed (it was my dad's birthday and we were having a birthday party.) Today, my three year old tells me finally that SHE didn't push her sister down- that thier cousin did. I called my sister and mentioned it and she called me back a few minutes later to tell me that her son had admitted to her that he was, in fact, the one that hurt the baby. I feel awful now- what can I do to make it up to her?

My 5yr old really wants a video game this Christmas. My hub and I don't want to comply because he is only 5 and doing really good in school. We are afraid that if we get it for him, all the homework and chores will be put til "later".
We got a leappad leapster last Christmas, and he loves it. We know is not an actual video games, but he is learning a lot. He already does 1-2 grade level reading and math and he is only in Kgarden. Some people tell us we are tricking him into learning, and depriving him from some good fun. I would like opinions on this

My kids are only 2 and 3 years old. I have read that little ones sleep better and longer if they room in together. The article also said it was great for bonding and development as well. We have a large house with extra bedrooms but we and the kids prefer that they stay together. (they have seperate beds)

A "friend" was over the other day and said that I am lucky that no one has called social services on me since I have a boy and a girl in the same room.

Does anyone know if there are specific rules or laws about this?(we are in Michigan if that makes a difference) And also, barring any legislation on the matter, how long do you feel that children of the opposite sex can/should share a bedroom?

Thanks so much!

My little boy has been dry for a few months now during the day, however has trouble when we are out & there are no facilities near by.
I always get him to 'try' before we leave the house, but as we live in a rural setting it is sometimes a problem (resulting in wet pants!).
Any advice or tips would be very welcome
Lots of love Kirsty. xxx

Our 4yr old doesent seem to listen, he wants to do whatever he wants, he will yell at us, tell us bad word's, and hit us. We always try ,or give him everything,nice toys,clothes,& shoes. He doesent appreciates what we do for him,he is also so hipper,since I became pregnant he just gotten worse, & now that the baby came and is 2 month's he is still the same or worser then before. If things dont go his way then he will just start crying like crazy...we try to spank him or put him on time out but he just cries, when he cry's it irritates me real bad so I just go bazzar with him. we tried everything but doesent seem to work so can someone tell me what really works, I just cant take it anymore is just crazy, we do evrything for him and he stills acts dumb with us..

I have a 3 year old daughter. I honestly can not stand her. I don't know if it's post partum depression from my 9 month old son, but she just keeps on doing stuff that annoys the heck out of me. On top of it, her father is no better than a 2 year old himself and never tries to teach her right from wrong. I get so furious with her. No, I don't go over the top and all out beat the heck out of her, but she is just too much. I honestly feel like she needs to be sent to a boarding school where they will force her to behave and obey without intentionally destroying everything she touches and intentionally trying to injure her little brother. She likes to throw glass and she likes to try standing on her brother when he's crawling around. That's not the worst of it, this is her on a good day. I honestly can not stand her and want to send her to a boarding school, and I hate feeling this way about her. I was not raised in a family like this, and I just don't like her.

I want to give my 2 year old more choices. She's speech delayed so I can only ask her to point to what she would prefer. But it turns out she doesn't make the best choices (she wants cheese at every meal, or she doesn't understand how to pick between 2 pairs of pajamas.) How can I introduce choices that she'll feel more in control over? What did you do with your child at that age?

If so, is it affordable, and do you have to be a member to use it? I live in Kansas, and I have heard so VERY bad things about daycare in my town. Just wanted to know something about theirs before I call and ask. Some places will push to have you join. Thanks.
