He runs everywhere we go i.e. shopping, restaurants, at parties, even at home. He can't stay still. He's also does not listen to us unless we use the cane to chastise him. Time for lunch & dinner is also a hell of a time for us. We have to force him to sit down. My wife is all stressed out taking care of him. What should we do so that he will be an obedient child? All he wants is TV & play. He's our only son & my wife is expecting our No. 2 next May 2007. We are also trying to send him for extra activities like music & art classes. When will he ever calm down & relax? He also gets excited when he meets other kids to play with.! He likes to scream too when with other children?!*

He is five years old and does fine during the day, I dont give him liquids for at least and hour before bed and make him "go potty" before he goes to sleep. I dont want to make a fuss because i know it can make the problem worse.Will he just grow out of it himself?

I have my nephew, he is two. He does not talk - at all. He only grunts and points for everything. He seems to understand what I am saying to him, but he does not communicate in any way except pointing and grunting.

Should I be concerned?

Where can I find more info about this?

I'm taking care of my little nephew for awhile and his mother raised him on fast food, and in our house we eat home cook food with lots of vegetables. Now he's either telling me he's full or he makes himself gag. I want to know how to get him to eat healthy without him really knowing it.

I've tried to leave him in his big boy underwear so that he will get uncomfortable but he just doesn't care. He'd rather stay in his wet pants all day then sit on the potty. How do I get him to understand? When I catch him hiding in the corner doing his business I as him if he wants to go on the potty and he says "no floor" even though he's wearing a diaper he thinks he's doing it on the floor. What will interest him to do it? I'm soooo tired of changing his pull-up. HELP

My son is 15 months old, and is still not sleeping through the night. I was in the habit of getting up, getting him a bottle of water or milk, but lately, I've been trying to ignore the cries, and seeing if he will go back to sleep on his own....but, he usually doesn't. He cries louder. Is this normal for a 15 month old? And is there ANYTHING I should be doing differently to get him to sleep through the night? He goes to bed at 8:30, and he gets up at 6:30 in the morning, to go to the sitters. So I know to much sleep is not the problem. My sleep is being disturbed nightly, and my patience is wearing thin, I'm at a loss and don't know what else to do!

My cousin's son, and my brother's son both have problems sharing their toys. Both of them are 3 as is my daughter. My daughter generally doesn't have a problem sharing her toys with them, however, they become aggressive when she has a toy, whether hers or not, that they want to play with. My cousin's 3 yr old cusses and swears at my 3 yr old and my brother's kid likes to kick and hit to get the toy he wants. How the heck am I supposed to help her with sharing when these kids do this? Short of just banning her from playing with them all together. My daughter has not hit back and just comes to tell me when one of them has hit her. Neither of the parents of these kids make them apologize and discipline them. Do I step in and make sure the kid is punished? Someone please help.

My mom feeds my 7 month old things like meatsauce, real table food not pureed or even chopped up real good. I do not want this. How do I tell her nicely to not do this. To only feed her what I send to her with the kids? My family has a history of obesity, and I don't want my kids to fall into this same track!

My grandson had a allergic reaction while eating peanut butter and crackers(Ritz) broke out in a rash immediately. Daughter called Dr. and they had her bring him right in. Dr. stated that he needs to go for allergy tests. He has eaten peanut butter, peanuts, crackers and everything else that could possibly have peanuts in it. Has anyone else gone through this? Any input would help. Makes you scared to feed him anything. Been checking labels etc. The crackers he ate had soybean oil in them. So who knows. Anyone know of a site that has a list of peanut free foods or restaurants that do not cook with peanut oils?? It makes it so limited for him, everything that he likes has so kind of nut in it. Guess his Mom will have to learn how to cook!!! We get so conditioned to eating out due to busy lifestyles. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

My baby yells out loud, whenever we are at public places, is not a sign of a bad feeling or being uncofortable since she is almost happy, kind of smiling when she does it, almost seems like amazed at herself that she discovered she can yell pretty loud. It doesn't bother me but I am sure it bothers people around us and I am terrified to travel in an airplane at this stage because of that. She doesn't use pacifiers, son I am not sure if there is anything I can or should do.

My daughter is starting preschool next month(she is 4). I am a stay at home mom and have been since day 1, so she is quite attached to me. She is also very shy, so how can I get her to cope with being away from me at preschool for 3 hours a day?

I am not even the least bit creative. It's sad, and I don't want my kids to miss out because of me. I want to have something that I can do every year. Something they can remember.

Thanks so much!

My son is almost 3 yrs. old. He just started a new daycare and all of a sudden is biting kids. He's never bit anyone before. How do I stop this? He has had a lot of change in his life lately ... (new house, new school, his parents just got back together after being apart 9 months) So I don't know if that plays a part as well. I can't get hi to understand that biting is wrong, and I don't want him to get kicked out of daycare.

His mother eats when she is hungry regardless of the time and the 2-yr old wants to eat at the same time. Is this the right/healthy way to do it or is a regular routine needed?

My 1 yr. old dd whines all day, no exaggeration. The only thing that keeps her happy is to watch the wiggles. I don't know if it out of frustration or what. All she wants to do is walk. She holds our fingers and we have to walk with her everywhere She has a walker and a seat with wheels(like and exersaucer) that she can walk in but she hates them. I put her at toys where she can stand and she is only happy for a second. My husband and I had to take 10 minute shifts with her because neither of us could take it. If she doesn't get what she wants she has tantrums. I try to ignore her but she works herself up to the point where she pukes. I am hoping when she can walk or crawl she will stop this. I am sure there will be something else to whine about. I can't take it. She is really getting to me. My other dd is trying to entertain her. She is a very challenging baby. Debbie
