My sister's 4 year old is constipated, and the doctor told her that he can't have any milk or diary products at all for the next 4 weeks. Well, we were wondering if he could still have it in tea, because I take him every Friday night, and our thing is having tea together before he goes to bed, and I don't want him wondering why he's not getting to have tea with me... because it's our special thing. My sister doesn't know if that little bit will make a difference or not, and the doctor is on vacation and unreachable unless it's an emergency.. thanks for your help.

I want to avoid pizza because most parents usually bring pizza and I want to bring something different that the kid's will enjoy.
Any ideas?

My son has been attending the same wonderful home day care since he was 12 weeks old. In the last month, he has begun fighting us every morning about getting dressed and leaving the house to go to school. The day care environment is friendly and loving, and once he's there, he's fine. All smiles, happy, cheerful, and immediately begins playing with his friends. The mornings usually begin nicely, but within a few minutes, he begins whining about not going to school which within about 5 minutes escalates into a full-scale screaming bout about not wanting to get dressed. This ritual has me and my husband almost at our wits' end, and some days is making us late for work, which is unacceptable. Some of the children that he used to be close to have moved away and there are a few new kids, including his new brother, who is now almost 6 months old. He loves his brother, all hugs and kisses - never mean to him, so I don't think this is the problem. Any advice on how to counter this behavior?

Something other than a toy. They are spoiled rotten and already have too many of those.

My son is 26 months old. He was born a 3 weeks early and the doctors were concerned that he had a hearing problem after his first newborn testing. We had him tested again at two weeks and and he just barely passed. They agreed to test him again a third time and he passed with flying colors. Now my son understands most everything and will answer you with an emphatic "Yeah!" or "uh-uh" when you ask him a question. The problem is, he isn't putting sentences together. He can say Mama, Dad, Nana, Star Wars (cute huh?), Yoda, Dew (for drink) bubble, and a few other words. I'm just worried because he's not putting two word sentences together yet. He's got an appointment with a doctor but I'm just nervous about it. Do you think it's normal for a 26 month old to not be able to put a sentence together? I've just noticed other younger children who talk up a storm. (I know I shouldn't compare, but it's hard not to when you're worried about development.) Thanks for serious answers!

She is 16 months old. I seriously thought we'd be over this by now. the fronts of her shirts are still so saturated all the time. She's old enough that she tears bibs off. I'm just wondering when this will stop?

FYI, no she is not handicapped or special-needs.

I've been babysitting two little girls (ages 2 and 4) twice a week for almost a year now. A couple months ago I was moving the couch to get a toy that had fallen under and I found a shotgun. I quickly pushed the couch back, but didn't worry about it because it was inaccessable to the children. Today, however I was looking for a missing pacifier and opened a drawer in the parents bedside table (the little one likes to hide things). Inside the drawer was a handgun. I quickly shut the drawer and pulled the kids out of the room. I understand these are for protection and have no problem with guns in the house, but I know that it is very dangerous to have loaded weapons where a child could get them.The video games are hooked up to the tv in the parents room, and I had no problem leaving them to grab a diaper, sippy cup etc. but now I am really worried. It would only take a moment for either to find the gun and accidentally use it. Should I have been told? Or is this none of my business?

My cousin whom I pretty much take care of is three years old. I am beggining to worry that she may not be on target with speech and learning. She can talk and I understand most of her words but there is still alot of baby jibbberish that I think she should have let go of by now. I know one of her problems is the she talks to fast to try to get the words out correctly. Another thing is that compared to other kids her age I don't think she is on target in learning She barely knows her abc's and can't count past 15. She knows most of her colors but she won't say them when she is asked. Is she fine or do I detect slight learning problems.? Maybe I'm worrying a little too much. Any advice?

My boyfriend works in the evenings. Our two year old son adores his father and around 9pm our two year son anticipates his return home from work (as has always done). Problem is my boyfriend comes home and just as soon as the phone rings he's out out the door with my two y.o crying and chasing him begging to be with him. I hate the fact that he does this and I am left having to console our son. This has even led to my toddler raoming around outside at midnight looking for dad. My b/f is to the point at times where he will walk out and close the door in my sons face or get out of bed with us and leave just as our son falls asleep.While my relationship has many problems centering around my b/f's thoughtlessness behavior and laziness as man , I have to wonder what effect this will have on our son.

I am a stay at home mom with him and I can get him to go on the potty, but he screams about it and ends up sitting there sometimes for 30 minutes before he'll go. His father thinks that he'll decide on his own when he wants to start going on the potty. His father also thinks that if we just put him in underwear that although there will be accidents, he'll get to the point where he doesn't want to be wet or in poop. It's aggravating as hell because he's not in daycare, and I don't know of a preschool that will take him without being trained. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've taken away snacks, the TV for a day, no night light at night...etc., but he's not wanting to go. HELP PLEASE!!!!
