Toddler & Preschooler - January 2007

We went to the doctors already and I forgot to ask if his sickness is contagious and if it was alright to play with other kids.
Should he stay in bed all day?

My daughter is 2 years old. Very stubborn. Her last nanny had to leave to become a sangoma and in her absence I have employed her daughter. My daughter is not entirely familiar with this new nanny and refuses to get along with her. She screams and pulls at me. Bath time is a crying game. I can't handle it. I am pregnant again and am having a tough time doing everything around the house. I can't bend anymore hence the nanny baths her. I gave the nanny instruction to just play with her more. But this is too difficult to get across. I am so frustrated, since it is already week three and no improvement.

I never thought my son would be a whiner, but for the past 4 months, he is constantly whining about everything. He whines if he dont get his way, he whines if his little cousin is bothering him, he whines and gets mad if he is drinking a sippy cup and no juice is coming out of it.
I was hoping this whining and temper would wear off but he is still doing it. I know they go through different stages where thats all they do but it seems like my son is constantly doing that unless he is entertained by something or watching tv. Anyone have any advice please!!!??

My son is 28 months old, and has mastered the art of potty training. Stays 100% dry during the day for approx. last 5 weeks. Well, for the last 2.5 weeks, he has been staying dry at night. My question is, since he hasnt been staying dry at night for long, I still put a diaper on him at bed time. I use the diapers, because I cant really afford the pullups. Well, the last two days, he has had three or four day time accidents, and I was wondering if this could be due to the fact that I put daipers on him at night, or is it just a normal regression thing. I know alot of kids will regress back to having accidents after potty training, and then go back to no accidents with no more problems. Or could the accidents be due to the fact that he has a head cold and has been sick for a few days? This may sound like rambeling, but I am a first time single mother, and have never had to potty train a child before, so im not completely sure what is normal and what is not. Am i just over thinking this?

I have a almost 3 year old who has been banging his head on the walls for almost 2 years every morning nap and at night. I have taken his to phycologist who claim that it is a nerve problem, but seen a show on Dr. Phil about a little girl who was pulling her hair out and her doctors told her parents the same thing as mine told me. But his experts claim it is because they took to much away at one time, like I did to him. Bed and bottle both, so if anyone is going or went through this please help me! I am losing my mind about the constant beating on the walls!!!

I was wondering what to do about my daughter, who is 3, that has a low fever of 100F (just noticed this afternoon). I gave her some Tylenol before bed, but I noticed she is tossing and turning. She doesn't seem to have any cold symptoms and hasn't complained of any 'oww-eys'. I plan on calling doc in the morning, but does anyone have any thoughts?

My 5 yr. old son is in kindergarden this year. His teacher, who I have been having trouble with since the first of year is telling me that if my boys grades don't improve he will fail. now this is pissing me off. She is saying my boy has slow progress and wants to put him in a slow class. he is NOT slow. He has proven to me that he can do everything she says he can't and has shown me he can even do things she isn't teaching in class! What can I do if she fails him? is there a way to over ride the teachers decision? can I make them allow him to go to 1st grade next year? i have been having trouble with this teacher all year and principal won't help.this teacher has even endangered the life of my son and still the principal does nothing! What can be done about her incorrectly grading my son? & keepin her from failing him when there is no just cause for him to fail at all?They refuse to give me a different teacher to! I tried to get a meeting w/the principal but she refuses to set a time.

The problem is that she only acts up when she gets home from daycare. At daycare, they tell us that she's such a good baby and that she behaves and she's so much fun. So after a hard day at work, we want to take her home to play and spend time with her. But as soon as we get her home, we can't wait to put her to bed! She cries over nothing, throws little tantrums, and just wants to climb over and touch everything she's no supposed to. We try to tell her no and put our foot down, but it just causes more and more crying. Any suggestions? What discipline measures are appropriate at this age? She is 1 year and almost 3 months.

My two year old granddaughter repeats everything she hears. The problem is, she repeats phrases using the same enunciation as her parents. This causes my granddaughter to get into trouble. Mom & Dad do not understand she is only repeating what she hears and therefore, they need to change their tone. I cannot change Mom and Dad, so what can I do to help my granddaughter?

Ok I try not to hit my son but I do warn him. When he acts up I tell him first to go to time out. Which is turned face around in the corner. But if he persist on acting up I tell him Im going to spank him. Which I rarely do. The most I do is pinch his upper arm. But there are times when he is acting up and I tell him to stop and behave. He then looks at me really angry and starts to slap himself. Hard too. Earlier today at the doctors office I told him to sit down quit running or I'll tell your dad. Who he knows his dad doesn't play. Anyway he started clawing his skin on his arm rough and I was like why are you doing that. Anyway is this normal behavior for a 3 year old.

Please read the entire fact pattern before answering.

I just decided to drop out of law school to be a stay-at-home mom to my 1yo daughter. She was in day care with about 6 or 7 other kids, and she was always fine there. Now she's home with me and it's like she became the devil child. She is constantly screaming, begging to be held, needing attention from me around the clock. At first I thought it was teething, so I treated with tylenol.. that made no difference, so I stopped. Literally, she spends 70% of every day just screaming. I am trying not to spoil her, so I won't pick her up... I'll stand next to her and hug her, but I won't pick her up. Of course, that only makes her more angry, but I don't want to make the situation worse in the long-term.

Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have suggestions about how to handle this? It's been going on for about 3 weeks now.

I have a son and a daughter (She is five and he is three), and my husband and I sometimes have one or the other. The kids are at the age where we do not feel comfortable having them go in and out of restrooms alone, but my husband sometimes gets stares going into the men's rooms with my daughter. Maybe this is no big deal, but what is the correct protocol? Is he supposed to go into the girl's room with HER, and what age does is become "not allowed" by public standards?

My 3 year old daughter went to a family day care from 8 months till about 3 weeks ago. It went very well.

Due to change in circumstances, she started a bigger daycare 3 weeks ago. She has been very sad ever since :(.

She has always been a light sleeper. Her teacher complains that she does not take the 2 hr mandatory nap and wakes up the other kids. This and one or the other type of complaint each day.

She has settled in every other way in the daycare, all but sleeping. Yesterday, her daycare "informed" me [not asked] that they are moving her to 2 year olds classroom since they don't think she is ready for 3 year olds classroom.

My daughter cries endlessly at home and is very cranky [she was a very happy kid before]. She says she doesn't like school and everyone scolds her in the school.

What should I do? Try a new daycare? Or should I let her go to the 2 year olds classroom and try it out for a few more weeks?

TIA.

They take days off to have a me day or go on a trip and i understand everyone needs this but then when you have no time left & your kid is sick don't get mad at the babysitter! am i being unreasonable to think they should keep their kid home?

My typically very obedient 2 year old is is raising quite a fight about ear drops and cough medicine now. (She's got a nasty cough and an ear infection so going with out the meds is not an option). I've tried giving pretend medicine and ear drops to her baby dolls and offering to do favorite activites afterward to give her an incentive, but no luck. Any ideas on how this can be a less painful process (for her and I)?! Thanks!
