Toddler & Preschooler - December 2006

My cousin wakes up from naps or in the morning crying. Every time. She'll cry for about 20 minutes every time. Is this normal or is there something I can do to stop it?

Well I thought it was a baby thing but no at 15 months old it is getting worse and I find myself actually crying. Today we went grocery shopping and my 4yrs old was in the car part of the carriage and she didn't want to sit with him and had a full blown tantrum so I sit her in the top part of the carriage and the tantrum was even worse until I let her Literally sit on my hip. How could I push a carriage and deal with her like that. I had to leave and not get my groceries. This is like this everyday. When she feels like it she might let her dad hold her or play with around the house but she mostly only wants me and doesn't know how to enterain herself. I'm at the point that I don't want to go anywhere with her and I feel depressed from it. In my house I just put her down and deal with the crying but out I feel I can't let it go on to long b/c I'm in puplic, Anyway anyone have a child like this I need help everyone says she will out grow it but I need help now before I am crying all day.

We vary our meals. She has her favourites, but I don't always want to make the same thing. I try to make sure she doesn't snack before supper so she is actually hungry at that time. Tonight it is very close to bed time and she is hungry so I've given her some apple sauce, which she loves and some cheese and crackers. I keep her snacks healthy. I don't want to make her go to bed hungry, I don't think that is condusive to a happy bed time. Is what we are doing wrong? What can I do to make it better at supper time?

He has been going to sleep in my bed, then I put him in his crib, then he wakes up after a few hours and comes back to my bed to sleep with me again.

My 3 1/2 yr old daughter loves water: the tub, the sink, the kiddie pool. I am considering swimming lessons at the local indoor pool. Has anyone else put their child of that age in lessons? Will she learn in a few months or will she require more sessions? I ask because she really wanted dance lessons and we paid a lot for them and she had a lot of problems taking direction and was a bit disruptive, although she enjoyed going into the big room and dancing, LOL....

I don't drink milk and don't want to add cow's milk or soy milk to my 2 year old's diet. However, I would like him to have something warm to drink at night. Anybody know of any non-caffeinated beverage I could use?

went to the dentist, the visit was fine but not satisfying. i'v heard different things, that perhaps the gums may be eventually cut to allow the teeth to come through, however the x-ray showed that the teeth were like seconds from emerging from the gums - i'm basically trying to put my mind at ease, all answers welcome- please help!!!!

Im am certain that a week ago when my son's school took him out for recess he got sick. The next day he had a fever a cough and sneezing. He got over that in a couple of days. However he has a really bad cough now. Over the weekend I put up a new bed for him and his family seems to think thats why he has suck a bad cough now. The thing is the bed is a little higher then a normal bunk bed (mabey) 5 1/2 feet high.
I think however that well it is cough and cold season so a bad cough is bound to come around sooner or later.
In addition to that instead of bed rest they think its better to let him play and do what he wants around the house.
I thought bed rest was aways the answer to being sick. Not what the child think is best. I cant really say anything cause Im only the step dad. I love my son and This really irritates me. I want to say something but its not in my place.
Im I wrong? what should I do? What is going on here?
PLEASE HELP!
THANKS!

My son is 15 months and we just went for his checkup/shots. The doc said "no more bottle." I have taken it away from him and this has been his 1st full day without it. The doc said he might miss a couple days of milk but will realize he wants the milk more than he wants the bottle and will start drinking out of a sippy cup. He hasn't drank that much milk at all and is fussy.
My question is: how long did your child fuss for the bottle after you took it away?

Thanks.

It is not very bad, but I believe it is painful, PERIOD. I had it gone and now it is back. I've tried Bag Balm, corn starch, and Desitin and it STILL came back. I realize this could be from teething, but it HAS to be very irritating. PLEASE HELP!
