Toddler & Preschooler - December 2006

He is just a little boy with a single mother, who has become my worst nightmare.I have never heard such tormented wailing,and it is very often,if he is home he is slamming doors and lamenting at the top of his lungs.I wake to this before dawn,shocked from slumbers by him.Is this in the normal realm of healthy child behavior? His mother is very loud as well, pounding up and down stairs and the bedlam is beyond my ability to cope with it. What is going on? What can I do?

I just walked in and my husband is doing things to himself while our three year old is running around and our two year old is sleeping on the couch.
I instantly got pissed off and sick to my stomach and when I start yelling he said that I was over reacting. He said that she was in her bedroom and the other sleeping and they didn't see anything, but it makes me so mad that I could cry.
Need advice.?!

I need any suggestions for this problem. My son is 4 and is autistic. He gets terrible tantrums where he throws himself onto the floor and screams for sometimes as long as 45 mins solid. He will not listen and gets out of control. This happens when you tell him it is nap time or take a toy away from him etc...His dr really has no ideas for me are there any parents with tried and true things they do for this? Thanks so much for ANY ideas!

My girls both got powerwheels last night *Thanks Dad*. Their dad won't home home until later tonight so I get the fun deed of putting them together. So, who else loves this phrase that is often written on a box that a toy will come in?

His great grandma is on her death bed, we will be lucky if she makes it until Christmas. The question is, is it best for him to go to her funeral or to stay with someone else. I am not sure how he will handle it. Any comments?

I was at a store doing some last minute shopping. I was waiting in line to checkout and this lady was in front of me with a little girl who was about 4 years old. The little girl ask the woman if she could have some candy and the woman's response to the little girl was to grab her by her hair and yank all the way to the door, the whole time she had the little girl's hair in her grip. The little girl was crying and telling the woman she was sorry. I felt so bad, I wanted to say something so bad, but fearing it would make things worse, I kept quiet. I am all for discipling your children, but this seemed to be to be a bit extreme. I just wanted to get your views on this because I was upset by witnessing this and wondered if I was over-reacting.

I saw on the show Yummy Mummy the other day a baby/mommy exercise program where they were doing the merengue(??spelling) together. I thought it sounded great and something my children and I could do together. Where can I find something like this?

He wakes up in the middle of the night screaming and kicking. I beleive it is just gas pains because you can here him passing it but having a hard time with it. Sometimes these screaming and kicking fitts go on for over an hour. He dosent want anybody to hold or touch him when he's doing this either. Is it possible for him to have consitant gas problems almost everynight? It is really bad and my wife worrys her self to death when he does it.

My wife and i are haveing problems with our 3 year old. He wont sleep at night when put to bed he crys for hours until he cant cry anymore. He is violent towards my wife. He doesnt play well with his sister. He is extreamly bossy (he trys to tell you what to do) and it doesnt matter who it is. He will pick toys at random and attempt to dismantle them piece by piece. He cant sit still for any period of time not even for a favorite cartoon. He always has to be doing something (fiddleing with fingers, picking his nose, or demanding food or drink.) His favorite is just crying. I my eyes as his dad i think he has a lot of things to enjoy, i bought a small 4 wheeler for him and i to go play on to get us time and that doesnt work. we play with him as a daily routine but nothing we seem to try works. As well as what the psych told us to do which was ignor him. That made it wrose. If there is anyone who has had these problems or you just have advice please let us know.

MY 1 year old has had a bad diaper rash that keeps coming back. This has been happening for the past 6 weeks and just as soon as I think I have it beat it comes back. We have used the same diapers, wipes and rash cream since he was born so I don't think it is an allergy problem and I have tried changing what he is eating. I have cut out almost all his fruit, sugar, and juice. When he gets juice it is usually watered down. I have tried powdering him every time he is changed even after the rash seems to go away. But it keeps coming back and it is so bad that he wakes up crying when he soils his diaper. Please Help.

My son will be 3 in April. He has Autism and as a result we have trouble getting him to eat age appropriate foods. He has many sensory issues when it comes to textures and won't swallow anything thicker than a puree. He still gets the majority of his nutrition from whole milk and he is still on the bottle. When he does eat, it is baby food, and he only averages about 2 jars a day. I give him a vitamin to help meet his nutritional needs, but I fear it is not enough. We finally were able to get him to chew certain foods but he has only been able to do this for a few months and it is usually junk food such as chips, french fries, and crackers. He will also eat corn chex from the box. Usually he only chews things that are crunchy and salty. Then he usually spits it out on the floor. He only swallows about 20% of the time. Does anybody have any ideas on what else I can do to help him? Please don't suggest OT. We are on a waiting list that is several months long. He needs help now!

never listens to 80 percent of what I say? My sister thinks he is hyper is it normal for a toddler to keep doing the same things over and over no matter what you say or do? Plus the time-out thing does not work because my toddler will not sit down unless i physically hold him which I will not do........so how do I deal with him????

What are some ways that you comprimise with your toddler? I fell like my 19 month old is in a constant power struggle with me. What are some things you do to make your kids feel validated, while still maintaining control of the situation.
