My 15 is usually a very happy baby but when he gets upset or even just over excited he hits me--in the face. At this point I just take his hand and hold it and look him the eye and say, "Don't hit mommy, that hurts."

I know he's too young to control all of his actions and to understand at this point--but is there anything else I should do? I didn't have this problem with my older son so this is new for me. Thanks in advance for all your help!

My daugter eye is swollen and not red...She has been rubbing on it all night while she was sleep..That's how it became swollen..I told her to stay home from school and see a doctor...She is crying her eyes out because she really want to go to school...Should I let her go to school with a swollen eye and see a doctor after school or stay home and see a doctor now.

My son is almost 10 weeks old and if he is not already asleep he will not be happy in his baby bed or bassinette. I have to put him in the bed with me instead. If he is asleep he is ok until he wakes up for his bottle, then he will not want to be put back in the baby bed. Anybody have any suggestions that has been through it?

In the past I've given a week's tuition divided among the two class "teachers". This year I've been less than thrilled with the performance of the teachers (last year it was well above average, this year it's just average) But I also know they don't make much. My daughter only attends part-time, 2 half days a week.

My son is 2 years old and we are trying to get him to understand that hurting his 1 year old sister is not correct. We don't like to smack him and it has not worked.We tried a naughty corner, initially it worked, he now is deliberately naughty and then runs to the naughty corner after his actions before we even see him being naughty. What can we do??

SHe has had a hard time ever since she was a baby and the doctors cant seem to find anything wrong. When she does go it usually isn't really hard but it still seems to be very painful for her to get out. Has anyone else experienced anything like this with their kids?

She will be 3 in march and she has always been difficult. When her daddy was deployed the first time (6 months- 1 year old) She slept with me. When he came home she slept in her crib. Well he is gone agian and now she is older and back in my bed and I want her to get back into the her bed before he gets home agian (in 3 months or so). Its really difficult and I cant take 2 hours everynight. She is notorious for making her self vommit when she crys and so putting her in there and just letting her cry it out doesnt always work!!! Any help will be great!

I am absolutley overly obsessed with my toddler's safety. She will be two years old in February. I find myself wondering off thinking up these terrible things that could happen to her. It leaves me with the absolute worst feeling. It happens mostly at night. I can't sleep because of it or if I do drift off I have terrible dreams about it. Most often it's thoughts of her running out in the street & a car striking her or a stranger hurting her in some way or really ANYTHING at all that could harm her. I feel like I might need to see my doctor to prescribe some kind of anti-anxiety medication because I feel that this is not normal. I know all parents worry about their children but this is insane. Help, anyone else have feelings this extreme?????
It scares me to think I'm this worried while she is with me 100% of her day (I'm a stay at home mom) How will I act when she is a teen out driving her own car?? :(

My 2 1\2 daughter wont stop biting. When she cant get her own way she will bite. Not only does she bite me she will bite the furniture, her clothes or anything around her. When she has bitten me i have bitten her back not hard though only hard enough for her to realize what she had done wrong. But that doesnt seem to make a difference as she keeps doing it. What am i supose to do to make her stop and to make her realize its wrong and shouldnt do it?

My husband and i are 38. We have 3 kids. Our oldest daughtor is 20, our son is 18, and our other son is 13. I know, they are 5 years apart. It sounds weird how i am 38, with a 20 year old daughtor. I was 18 when i had my daughtor, 20 when i had my son, and 25 when i had my youngest son. I really want to have another baby, but im not because it would be way to weird to have a newborn and a 20 year old. I have waited to long with my 13 year old, and now i want another baby, i waited way to long. 13 years! Do you think i waited to long to have another baby?

I am at a loss for gift ideas for my 4 year old daughter. My husband and I typically get 1 "big" present along with a bunch of little things. For example, for her birthday, we got her a power wheels convertible as the big gift, and things like clothes, movies, and play makeup as the small gifts.

I am having a hard time thinking of something to get for her for Christmas. I am looking for something under $150 if possible.

Any ideas??

We have been very nurturing parents (attachment parenting, co-sleeping, positive discipline, etc.) and have continually reassured our son we love him just as much as we always have. Yet still - almost 2 years after the birth of our daughter - he's quite jealous. Strangely, he's been a lot kinder to her and more interested in her recently (he was once fiercely jealous and it seemed that his whole raison d'etre was to thwart or hurt her). But I saw a movie (Jude) a week ago in which the older boy strangles his baby and toddler sister and then hangs himself b/c he misunderstood something the mother had said. I know our situation is immensely different from the one in the movie, but I've still felt a nagging worry about it. I would not be able to live with myself if my daughter died and it was because I didn't listen to messages or feelingsI was getting. But I don't want to stop the positive attitude, trust and self-esteem developing. Plus doing so would only exacerbate the jealousy.
