Toddler & Preschooler - January 2007

Hi my daughter is 1 yr. and 3 mo.old and she seems to be very smart. People are always surprise about how smart she is for her age. Even though she was late in the walking part and in the teething she started asking for milk when she was 7 months and I am not lying. She says lets eat when shes hungry, she says night night when she's sleepy, she repeats everything you say no matter if you say it once and she doesn't forget, she knows what and where are her eyes, nose, hair, hands, feet, ears, etc. When she's getting dress she ask if we are leaving, she also ask for a bath, and when you sing the itsy bitsy spider song she puts her fingers together to do the mimic of the song, and she does so much more that you can't imagine. For me it seems normal but all my friends say that she is too smart, she even brings the diaper to the trash can after I change her. Are they exagerating or is she really that smart.

my daughter is 2 1/2. she goes to daycare. Last night before she went to bed, she went potty. She stood in front of the toilet saying " i want to pee like this mom" and she was standing up like boys do. i asked her who does that and she say a little boys name at daycare. i'm a single mom so she don't see no boys pee at home. I asked the daycare this morning without telling them who she seen. and they told me who she seen. They said when they got her up from nap time she seen him. Its a home daycare. so they all share 1 bathroom. the kids are suppose to wait around the corner til the other one is finished. They said not to make a big deal about it. i think they should be supervising while the kids are using the restroom. Especially since they share. The ages at this daycare are from 0-5. What do you think?

What should the parents have done differently? How is one to handle a child who refuses to calm down when they will not listen, respond to punishment (timeout), and ignoring thier bad behavior won't work. Please do not give me an answer such as "whip the child" This is not an option.

I know that all children are different and can vary widely, I just want a general idea of how on-track my daughter is. Thanks :)

I have tried putting him in time out, i have spanked him, talked to him in a friendly manner. I get so frustrated with why he acts like this. We never had any problems like this with his older sister..

We have been working with him for about the past month. We have tried having him sit there, reading books about going to the potty while he is on the potty, letting him watch T.V. while he does. We have also tried to put regular underwear on him to see what he would think about being wet or messy, but he just doesn't care. He says that the potty is scarry. He does love to flush the toilet, but doesn't want anything else to do with it, the regular one or his little potty that we bought for him. Any help would be great. Thanks!

If your toddler/preschooler were acting up at daycare (hitting, throwing fits, pushing...) would you want the teacher to be honest with you or just keep you in the dark? Why?

Hello all!! My daughter is 2 yrs old and she gets sick alot. She once had an upper respiratory infection. Well everytime she gets sick, she gets ear infections. I mean I just took her to the doctors 2wks ago and they prescribed her antiobiotics for an ear infection. We live in Florida so the weather is very ify. Some days its 70 degrees and some days its 45 to 50 degrees. Well guess what she is sick again and complaining about her ear.

To get to the point, does anyone recommend the plugs to prevent ear infections? I dont know the medical terminolo

She has become very bossy and hateful lately. We have tried time out and even resorted to whoopings and nothing is helping. I am expecting another baby in April and I want to get her in control before then.

He was doing fine in his own bed, then he got sick for two weeks and a few times I would put him in bed with me, just to console him and help him through the night, Now all he wants to do is sleep in me bed, at nap and at night. I tryed the crying thing and he will stand there for hours crying.Never going to sleep i just cant do that.

My middle son turned four in October. I have noticed that the older he gets, the worse his behavior gets. He is also VERY restless. I can't get him to sit still for two-seconds. He also won't stay on task. He is constantly getting into trouble at school. At home, he is always wide open. I would guess that could all be explained away as a typical four-year-old. However, he is also always fidgiting. He is picking at his nails, he constantly picks the plastic tips off of his shoe laces, he picks at the designs on his shirts, he picks at bug bites/cuts/scabs/etc. He is a picker! Would that be considered a symptom? I don't want to take him to the doctor to get on some type of treatment if that isn't what this is. Also, if this is ADD/ADHD, are there any alternatives to treatment? I have heard about using St. John's Wort? Any ideas?

My 15 month old son shakes his arms and legs and stares blankly, the shaking can last up to a couple of minutes and the staring longer. He does the shaking worse when he first wakes up from sleeping and when he gets excited. Plus he startles EASILY! Also he has very mottled skin and seems to always have cold hands and feet...what does this mean?

Probably not daughter, hitting girls is wrong, but a son. I preferably think its imoral because its more like physical abuse to your kid. Also what if they called you some cuss word, I mean when there like 2-3..what to do what to do..

We keep his nails trimmed. But even after we have trimmed them he will pick at them and try to pull off. Which usually leads to him hurting his fingers.

My niece spends alot of time with me and my daughter who's 7mo. every day in fact for around 10 + hours a day since my daughter was born. well lately when we'er at the store, i get questions about the baby alot and of course unknowing people ask my niece (she's four) if she's my daughters big sister, she says yes. and ocasionally has taken to calling me mommy (i think it is because i always refer to myself as mama to my daughter) and started calling my daughter her sister (she's an only child) well her parents got divorced around when my daughter was a new born, and her mother moved away a couple months ago about 300 miles away, they still talk and she still loves her mother of course, i wouldn't think to replace her mother, but i tell her Onora (my daughter) can be her sister if she wants her to be, and i don't really say anything when she calls me mommy. am i handling this right? I know she's in alot of pain, i don't want to add too it.

Any suggestions on what to feed her and what not to would be greatly appreciated. I know the basics, no milk, butter, cheese, etc... But what are the things that wouldn't normally be considered dairy that she could have a bad reaction to?
