I have Boy/ Girl three year old twins and would like to move them into seperate bedrooms. As a multiple myself I think it would be better for them to be seperated and be able to be seen as seperate people not just as 'the twins'. My fiance thinks i'm being neurotic and that its better for them to share a room, as they are very close. Parents of twins was it difficult to place them into different rooms? Not sure how to go about it? Am i just being silly because i felt like we were just 'the triplets' growing up?

We have a 1 year old boy. We dont know why he acts the way he acts. We are a calm, quite family. He goes to church with us every Sunday. He gets to play with other kids his age most of the week. However, he screams at the top of his lungs to get what he wants. He kicks if you come near him. He bits if you try and clean his face, or even feed him. He throws things if he doesnt want them anymore. He smacks with his hands. He bits the other kids. No Day Care in town will watch him. My wife had to quit her job to stay home with him because of the way he acts. He has gone through 4 daycares in the last 3 months.

We have taken him to his doctors for answers. I thought maybe counseling wouldhelp, but a counselor wont see him, because they say he is too young to have counseling because he cant comprehend certain things and he is too young to be diagnosed and treated for a behavior problem. His doctors say to just igore it, and we do. But he holds his breath.

That if you yell at a child to stop crying, it will stop. I was working at a day nursery and saw this happen, not for the first time, and the poor 2yr old was terrified and about to have a full blown tantrum. Needless to say shouting at her did not help!

He also cannot pay attention to anything, I have gotten his hearing screened, and it is fine, and it is evident that he is smart because he knows his ABC's from front to back, and can write them, he also know 1-20 in numbers and can write them, shapes, matching, etc, etc. But he will not talk in sentences, he says one word things, "juice", "dinner", "Poddy", etc. He also does not learn his lesson EVER.. He plays with our computer CONSTANTLY, and we yell, time out, so on and so forth, but as soon as we let him go, he goes straight back to the computer. I am getting really frustrated, he has an appointment with a group called Child Find coming up that screens for learning disabilities and ADD and things like that, but I really don't think he has any of that due to him knowing so much already.. can anyone help, has anyone gone through this?? I am desperate

I was a sahm for the frist year and then started working part time nights now I am working full time nights and my hubby works days. I think moms fighting is kind of silly since what works for one family is not right for another. What do you think of show like Dr. Phil using it for ratings?

I had him stand with his feet together and when he does the inside part of his right sticks out really far and kinda goes over the left knee. when he does this if you look at the back part of his knee the left knee does the same and goes over the right just in the back..... any suggestions on what this might be ???

She does really good during the day but sometimes she will tell me that she doesn't want to go potty. I do reward her for when she does go.

I have found a something that my daughter IS scared of (contrary to another question I had about my daughter I though was fearless). But the problem is she WANTS to play with it!!

Okay, it is that Giggle Remote thing they had out a few years ago I bought it on clearence at Wal-Mart. Anyways, she was like 11 months old and was scared then so we packed it up and forgot about it. I just found it and she went NUTS (in a GOOD way) and she wanted to play with it, but as soon as it started moving she FREAKED out and started crying and hiding behind me, just like the last time it was out nearly a year ago.

Now this time is more brave, as long as the wheels are not going she will TOUCH it and even carry it to me, but as soon as it moves she starts getting upset. What do I do? She wants to play with it but she is scared of it??

LOL! I guess she isn't fearless after all!

Thanks,
Belinda

My daughter is 4 years old. She used to goto sleep in her own bed by 8:30 at night. After staying at grandma and grandpa's house for a couple nights each week she won't sleep anywhere but with me and my husband. We are both having a hard time sleeping at night because she kicks in her sleep, lol and I don't want her to grow attached to our bed. I've tried telling her "If she wants to be a big girl she has to sleep in her own room" (she is a very independent little girl) but that doesen't seem to work. I was thinking maybe her mattress was to hard, ours is quite soft but am not sure that is the problem. A friend of mine still has her 6 year old sleeping in her bed, I don't want her to keep this up for that long. When I try to put her down for her bed she just cries and wants mommy and daddys bed. Anyone have any ideas of how i should go about this?

I have been taking my twin nephews one at a time to give their mother a break. My 2 year old is very very jealous. She will push and shove to be in my lap, behind me, anywhere the baby(s) are at the time. One of them has a feeding tube and we can't risk it being pulled out. How can I help my daughter adjust to their being baby visitors over? She is not at an understanding of "helping" yet as she can not understand much about direction. I do give her hugs and loves while they are here as well. Any tips you can offer?

Now with the cold and wet weather, we are stuck inside a lot. Does anyone have any activity suggestions that will keep him entertained and burn some energy?

How to get a 3 year old to sleep?
I babysit for alot of kids, but this one is the worst. He is a 3 year old boy. I usually bring him up around 8:35( bed times 8:30) and read him a story..then he wants another. By the time im back downstairs without him its 9 ish. Then he comes right back down within 10 min and has some lame excuse. I dont know what to do and the mother is not helpful with advice at all....... answers appreciated asap im leaving to watch them in 10 .Im not his mother, im a 15 year old babysitter...so i cant not buy him something or cut his naps down..and he can get out of his bed on his own.
