Toddler & Preschooler - January 2007

i was just wondering what is considered a fever in an 18 month old. i know when he was under a year anything over a hundred was something to be concerned about but he has been feeling really hot and has a really bad runny nose and when i took his temp two times today it was 99.7. he is sleeping alot more today too. should i be concerned or let it go for now and see what happens.

My Child has SID and ADHD and could be borderline Autistic. We're having major problems trying to potty train him. He's five almost six and cannot get him to go on his own. We have to tell him to go to the potty and then he will go. But he still moves his bowels in his pants. He has a sensitivity problem and I want to know what to do

I fee like I'm on the verge of going insane, I want to play with my 2 year old and 4 month old more. I feel like I'm just doing all the nessesities (diapers, feeding, cleaning..) and am always fighting crankiness and frustration. and if I clean house my 4 month old is crying in no time and my 2 year old is acting out being destructive or other things she knows she gets in trouble for. I know I need to play more and interact and challenge them. I just don't know how to have a smi-clean home and have anything at all on for dinner? I'm way out if balance and don't know how to get things going better. Plus I don't know how much my husband should do and how much time he needs to spend not working- he works full time and plus his own work at home, and errands for work on week ends.
Are there any moms who stay at home and cook dinner week nights? (not frozen chkn fingers, but healthy prepared food?)
Do your husbands work and also help with dinner prep and clean up around the house?

I have twins (boy/girl) and my son wakes up our daughter after his nap, probably to get her to open the door since he doesn't do that yet. As a result, both of my kids are only sleeping 1 1/2 - 2 hours now, whereas before they slept a good 3 hours. There was a instant change in their napping times once he figured out she can help him get out of the room.

What can I do to teach my kids to value their naptime, and enjoy the free time to rest in the afternoon, while mommy does her thing! My daughter is miserable, and needs extra sleep to function, though my son is fine... Obviously you aren't getting her back to sleep once she's up!

Help!

I'm not joking, this boy carried them everywhere. What funny things have your kids ever done?

PS I would do a lot to keep my kids quiet, but I think this is taking this a bit far. lol

My daughter is almost 16 months old and she eats almost the same foods everday. I would love to try new things with her, but everytime I seem to try a new food with her, she gets a diaper rash. She currently eats the following foods: peas, carrots, green beans, jello fruit cups (but only peaches or oranges), spaghettios, mac n cheese (but not too much due to the milk/diaper rash), squash, and peach cobbler in the baby food still, and teddy grahams. That's pretty much it! My hubby and I will try soups, or hamburger helper, or different snack foods, and she ends up with a tummy ache and the diaper rash. I have talked to her pediatrician and she just keeps telling me to wait a few weeks and try the food again. Any suggestions?? And, what does your little one eat? (Oh, and the diaper rash isn't severe, but it does make her uncomfortable.) Thanks

I'm having my daughter's 3rd birthday party in the park. There will be 6 boys and 3 girls there. What kind of activities should I have or is the park enough? What kind of food should I have? It's from 1-2:30. Any ideas for arts and crafts? Any ideas on finger foods? I don't want to spend a lot of money on this party.

Please give me your best guess on this.
I had asked someone to come and watch my two young kids for me (a close family member) that has always loved watching them and is always willing to come at anytime, everytime. This person seemed equally enthusiastic about this opportunity and I am very confused about how we got so "miscommunicated." If someone told you "Sure, I'll be there in the afternoon, later afternoonish," when would you think they might arrive?
Thanks so much!

My son every morning before school says to me that he wants to dress like all of the other kids in class.
He is 5 and he never wanted to pick his own clothes before.
Should I take him shopping and have him pick out his own clothes.
Or should we wait until the next school year.
I do want him to learn that he shouldn't dress to impress with all of the new fashions. I want him to feel great with just the way he is.
But since he has never picked out his own clothes
Should I take him shopping?

My daughter will be 2 on March 8th. She has been taking off her diaper and brining me a new one when needed for about 3 months now. She is able to say poop and pee pee and will sometimes go on the pot. She is able to wipe herself, but still i dont know if she is completely ready.
i am considering taking a few days off work to try to potty train her. do you think she is ready? and if so...any tips. I have 2 boys (4 and 5 years) but my husband potty trained them mostly by himself.

Hi I just wanted to share this with you all. My son has had excema since he was a little baby and I have tried every lotion and potion going but recently I started using Johnsons & Johnsons baby bath (blue bottle) to wash him with. It has now been a good few weeks and he has not had another breakout. This may not work for every child but it can be worth a try to save your little one from all that discomfort. Use only a little amount in the palm of your hand and lather it up before putting on their skin. I hope this helps.

I know all kids talk at different stages and different times. My little cousin will be three in March and his speech is VERY limited. No one at all will acknowlege the fact that there might be a problem. The least you can do is get it checked. But I'm not going to say anything to his mother. She is extremely opinionated and I don't want her to get mad. My cousin says: "mom" "dad" "hi" "bye" and FEW other words. He is an only child so there is no older child who does all the talking for him. Just wondering if there was any advice. I'm kind of worried.
