Toddler & Preschooler - December 2006

He makes himself gag if he sees it, and throws up everywhere before even tasting it. I use medicine syringes and shoot it down, doesnt work, comes right back up. I have hidden it in food and mixed it in drinks, he wont touch it. Any tricks for getting the liquid medicine down?

I paid 5 dollars for One picture with Santa... It was at my Sons school. It was going to be today.. My son got up this morning soooo excited that he was going to see santa... And Im excited for him.

When he came home I asked him about it... He replied angrily, " Santa wasnt real! It was a girl santa! It was fake !" WTH? I called the school and asked if this was some sick joke and now my son is questioning santa, and he thinks im a lier now.. what are they thinking? Do you think this was wrong? I asked for a refund, but I just cant get over that b/c they couldnt find a santa, they still took the parents money instead of Postponing it like they should have. I called up there and everything, they dont care! they never care.

My wife and I have 2 boys together. Our first boy couldn't have been better on potty training. Our second boy however, is going to be 4 yrs. old in 2 1/2 mos. and pees occasionally, but will not poop on the potty. Any suggestions? We've tried siiting him on the potty every hour for a half hour at a time. We've tried the corner, no snacks, bed, no TV, ETC. and nothing seems to work. Please help!

My daughter is 18 months old. She gets angry driving in the car for too long or when she is in the car and is hungry or tired. Also shet gets mad if I make her sit the entire dinner with us in her highchair since she eats so fast, she is usally done before us. She also gets frustrated if she is in her crib and not asleep yet. She gags herself (with her own finger) until she pukes. I am not going to let her sleep/sit in puke so I can't just leave her there.
Her doctor laughed at me and said "hahahaha she is starting young, don't worry about it she'll get over it."
I can't take the kind of answer, it is just not good enough for me...what do I do?

Something affordable. There are 20. I would prefer to stay away from food.
Also I am looking for a gift to his teacher because she is a really great teacher. I'm just not sure what to give a teacher. We don't know eachother any more than a few words.

Thanks so much!

One of these idiot kids at my sons pre-school is daily trying to convince my son that Santa Claus is not real.

He told my son( 4yrs old ) that all those presents marked from Santa are really from mom and dad and he even went as far as to tell him that it has to be his mom or dad that are eating the cookies and drinking gthe milk that he leaves for Santa.

Any suggestions as to ways to help make him believe again?
I have told him that the kid in his class might have been a bad boy and that Santa doesnt vist bad kids but not sure if he bought it.

My daughter is DD (developmentally delayed..and yes she was tested for this) and really can't talk much yet. She is almost 2. So, I went and taught her some sign language so I knew when she wanted to eat and if she wanted more. Well, she lets us know when she is hungry. I have overheard people whispering to each other..that "she can hear, why did we teach her that type of crap" What would you tell someone in this situation?

I've tried every kind of juice. I even give her raisins. She drinks plenty of water. That's pretty much all she drinks but still everyday she suffers from not being able to use the bathroom. She is 20 months old and currently has a fever of about 101. Could the constipation be causing her fever? She usually poops everyday but still has problems in doing it. It hurts her so bad and she pushes for most of the day. What else can I do to help her? Is there any medication that I can give her. I can't schedule an appointment with a doctor because we just moved to a new city and they won't see her for more than a week. What can I do?

He is almost 22 months old, we live in Texas so it's not part of his normal attire but it does sometimes get cold enough to need one but he refuses. This has happened w/ other things and as long as I let him choose or make a big deal about it (shoes for example), it's always worked. I'm not having any luck w/ that approach this time, I've tried letting him choose, showing him that everyone else is wearing their coats, putting it over my shoulders and telling him "mommy is going to wear it then", and I even took him to the store to let him pick out a different one but he just said no and cried as soon as he saw it. Has anyone else ever had this problem and, if so, how did you solve it? Thanks in advance!

I am currently a stay at home mom with 4 children, 6,4,2, and 1...sometimes I get so overwhelmed with the house that I don't know what to do! My children have plenty of toys, but yet when I start on a project in one room, they are in there right behind me undoing what I do get done. If I put up a gate, they're standing there crying and shocked that I have made a room off limits, so ofcourse I feel bad and let them in. I graduated from college, (RN: ), and while going through school I had to let some things go. My husband works afternoons, so he's not much help, mostly a hinderance lol. But now I'm taking some time off so I can get organized and I feel like I've haven't got anything accomplished. My 2 year old loves dumping popcorn, cereal, chips, etc in the floor, drinks are another favorite, my 1 year old is right there with him enjoying the fun! I love my children very much, but how do I combat this problem while still making them happy

I put my daughter down for a nap, and went back about fifteen minutes later to check on her, and she had her doll up kissing her on the mouth. And I'm not talking about the "Good night, baby doll" kissing, either. I didn't say anything, just told her to go to sleep. I don't want to yell at her, but I feel like i should've said SOMETHING.

And for the record, she doesn't see that stuff when she's with me, and she don't watch it on TV, either. Also, lately, she has an obsession with "naked." That's her favorite thing. Am I freaking out, or is this normal 4 year old behavior?

Johnny, Johnny he's no good.
Chop him up for firewood.
When he get's hot put him in the pot.
When he get's cold put him in a bowl.
Then he'll be a jellyroll!

Anyone else ever heard this?
