Toddler & Preschooler - December 2006

My 18 month old is just getting over stomach flu and being on antibiotics from strep throat. She can not tolerate milk right now...it gives her bad diarrhea...but she cries and cries for it. I read that kids can sometimes be sensitive for up to a week after an illness...any alternatives suggested? I was looking into soy products or lactaid milk?

Okay just to be short about this, She is 21/2 years old tells me to change her diaper, could care less about going potty, and a mother-in-law who thinks I need to MAKE her go potty. The M-I-L thing is just about to really piss me off. She made 1 of her other grandchildren sit on potty for hours before letting her up! Not an option here! I just wish I knew what to do to get her trained before I really go off on M-I L and cause real family problems!

She wakes up intermittently i the middle of the night (not for consecutive nights) and we have tried the Tracy Hogg pick up put down method - unsuccessfully). Looking for anyone else experiencing this problem with any and I mean ANY kind of solutions.

I have a 3 yr old son that has always been a little angel. -must just be his personality because my youngest is already a little terror. Anyway tonight we had a Christmas party and his four year old cousin comes running into the living room screaming saying my son hit him on the head with a bucket. I was in shock.. and my nephew always crys when people even accidently bump into him so I thought well maybe it was an accident. I went in there and asked my son and he owned up to it but had no reason as to why? He hasn't ever hit anyone before to my knowledge but when we go on playdates the kids will come and say that my son won't play with them. You know the whole "mommy he won't play with me" My youngest is only ten months but my 3 yr old never hits him or anything if I am not around. He is actually extremely protective. So much so that when his aunt gave him a toy tonight the first thing he said was "what about my brother" When my youngest gets in trouble my oldest cries haha. But he just doesn't like other kids. He wants to be left alone. If I had to guess I would think that is probably why he hit him. How do I encourage him to be more outgoing? He loves older kids ..my brother and sister are only 11 and he loves playing with them and is always sweet. I worry about when he starts school...

The little 4 year old boy I babysit called me "sexy" the other day, and also plays violently, often copying themes from television and movies his parents must let him watch.(We do not watch TV when I am babysitting) I do not feel that this sort of language, talk or play is appropriate for a boy his age. How do I deal with him without offending the parents/ his upbringing?

My dtr will be two this week and 22 pounds. She eats everything and anything. She is active although clumsy she was a late walker. I also think she might have low muscle tone. I am taking her to her check up this week. Do you reccomend i speak to the MD about her weight issue and a possible supplement. I was also thinking of Physical therapy because she falls often and many times walks on her tippy toes .

my son Jacob seems to almost not like me :o( When he interacts with his dad he gets very excited and lovable, he kisses the dog all the time and is very gentle and loving with his teddy bears n stuff. But I ask for a hug and he slaps my glasses off my face, I give him kisses and he kicks me, and finds it to be the funniest thing ever. Ive always been tender with him. His dad is the opposite hes very strict when he desciplines him. Am I being too soft?

Is it typical for a child to have a favorite parent?

Any good advice on potty training a 2 yr. old. She seems interested in trying to wipe herself, but refuses to wear a pull up, big girl panties, or even just sit on the potty chair. She will sit on it fully dressed and watch tv. But, she doesn't seem to be ready to actually try to go potty in her chair.

I am not a doctor or a nurse....I do, however, have experience with autistic children. It is clear to me from the behavior, fixations, etc. that their 4 year old has a mild form of autism. I want them to know because I feel with treatment, he could be amazing. They do not think anything is wrong with him. I don not want to hurt our relationship, but I feel like I owe it to the child. I do know him better than almost anyone.
