Toddler & Preschooler - November 2006

when you see your child smile, here are the thoughts..

Mommy I Wish

Mommy I wish I could put this in grown up words,
so you would really understand how much you mean to me.

I know I’m just a little kid right now,
and I don’t know all the things you need.

I wish I could pick you up and hold you,
like you do when I’m hurt or feeling sad.

‘Cause I know sometimes it’s hard for you,
to punish me, when I’ve been bad.

I wish I could give you all the things we need,
and I wish I could go to work for you.

So you could stay home and play,
and do the things you like to do.

Mommy I love you, and I’m so proud too,
and wish that all the little kids in the world,
could have a mommy, just like you.

Mommy do you know my biggest wish of all?
for all that you do.

I wish and I pray everyday,
that I will grow up, and be just like YOU.

My son is 2 1/2. My father-in-law has decided that he needs to be in pull-ups. Although I know for a fact that my father-in-law has never partaken in potty training any of his children! I am not against working with my son on potty training, however, I believe that until he feels the urge and knows what it is this is only practice for him. On weekends when were home he's been using his underwear. I would think that pull-ups feel to much like a diaper for him to understand the difference. I am wanting to know if these are really just another marketing gimmick or if they do work in the potty training process. I am not against using them if they work I just want to know if they are anymore effective than what I am already doing? I appriciate any advice. Thanks

She'll be 2 at the end of November but she is so fussy!!!

She'll only eat jars of baby food for 10 month olds, white bread, 'Sunshine Banana'(dried baby breakfast cereal), Quavers(or Hula Hoops), chocolate buttons, Apples, Grapes( don't get your hopes up as she only eats a bit of fruit when she feels like it!!), oh yes and she drinks loads and loads of apples juice (that's all she drinks!!).

She suffers so much when she poos. The doctor said that it was basically my fault and I should put more fibre into her diet but after checking the packages, there's more fibre in the foods that she does eat than what she'd eat of beans (she'd only eat about a spoonful of beans) if you know what I mean...

Please help!!

Thanks,

I'm a single mother of a three year old little boy. I am planning to put him in T-Ball. It is only a six week season starting in January. I have played t-ball with him at home as well as soccer. My little guy has a mean pitching and hitting arm. I figured poor little guy is tired of doing girly things (i.e shopping and going to the salon with me) His father has been in Iraq for some time and I thought it would be something my son would enjoy. Even though I do think he will not crasp the concept of running to the bases =) I have been getting mixed advice. What do you guys think?

I work as a nursery nurse and we have a three year old who has been with us for a while, but for last month has started coming full time as mum has returned to work.
We seem to have started a problem with her using the toilet or potty for some reason.
Suddenly she wont use it, even when the pee is running down her legs she cries and says no.
she is having numerous accidents as you can imagine.
She will sit down on potty, but then gets straight back up and says no
then goes back in to classroom and wets
any ideas pls
at the mo we are just ignoring it not making an issue but its getting very waring and the parents are getting agitated

My daughter is old enough to start potty training she is 27 months old. She has been potty training a little bit, but we stopped cause she broke her arm and haven't started back up because her sleeping schedule is off. But I'm having a baby in 32 days should I start potty training now or wait and if I do wait how long should I wait. I know I shouldn't have quit in the first place and I'm kicking myself for that. And when she was potty training she was doing pretty good by the end of two weeks she was having an accident maybe every other day.

I have a 5 year old that has recently developed a studdering problem. He was a slow learner with speaking anyway. In fact, my 3 year daughter is easier to understand sometimes. I have looked at other questions on this site and some people are saying it could be attention or nervousness. this could be true; he was the first child at got the most attention and when the other two were born, naturally, the attention had to be shared. how do i solve his studdering problem and keep the attention equal between all the kids.

My 2 in half yr old son whines ALL the time. His speech is slow, he's not speaking as many words as he should - he is in speech therapy. My question ia how to I teach him not to whine so much.
I've tried telling him to use his big boy voice, telling him I don't understand him when he whines, I've tried time out, and I've also tried ignoring him when he whines but he just gets louder and louder. I try walking away from him, but he just follows me screaming. I've tried putting him i his room, but he continues to whine and scream. It's driving me crazy. I love him to death, but I can't stand the whining anymore. Help!

For my father in laws b-day, he handed my husband a piece of paper with an appointment on it for my son to go to speach theropy, My son is a normal active 4 yr. old, and I don't think he has any speech problems. My father in law never took and interest in my daughter and her speech, so why my son? Then yesterday he stated that he wanted to go to the appointment with me. My kids are happy, spoiled, and totally loved children, why is he butting in? If I thought for an instant my son was having difficuley with talking, believe me, I would be the first to have it checked out. Thanks for you opinions.

My baby is 23 months old. His isn't talking too well yet. We've been trying to help him learn to use the potty, but I'm not really sure how to go about this. Is it too soon to start if he can't tell me when he needs to go? We've been putting him on at about 2 hr. intervals, but I'm not sure this is working. This is my first baby, so I'm new at this, if you have any suggestions, or experiences to share, it would be GREAT, please help!
