Toddler & Preschooler - January 2007

She is 17 months old and hasn't acted like this since she was one, and we took her bottle away. Even then it wasn't this bad. We make sure she is sleepy before putting her down, but she'll cry for an hour. If we go get her and rock her or put her in the bed with us she will immediately go to sleep, but then wakes up and cries again for an hour if we move her to her bed. We don't want to make it a habbit of letting her sleep with us, cuz we have a boy due in 3 weeks who will sleep in our room with us. She is really starting to make me mad, because I know there is nothing wrong with her. How can I make her stop?!?!

My 14 month old boy is eating 3 meals of solid food, drinks 5 bottles of milk a day. He eats more than I do, yet he's slow to gain weight, I ask the doctor to test him for blood sugar, it's normal not diabetic, is this normal for boys at this age to eat that much?

My 16 months old daughter is hyper on everything. Even when she is sleeping, turning and tossing around. She can never sit still, not even for 20 seconds. Lately, she like to drive me over my edge and I really don't know how to tell her since everything that I said she would never look or listen to me. Anybody can help?

Through a baby sitter website, someone contacted me take care of a 1 year old boy. I had transportation problems so I rejected because of that, but the person gave me as a solution the option to bring the kid every day to my house and take care of him in my own place.

Now I´m wondering how much should I ask for my rates.

My schedule will be monday to friday from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm

Thank you!

I have done some looking around on the internet about identifying giftedness. He seems to fit a lot of the criteria, especially as an infant. Now that he is getting older, though, it seems harder to teach him things. A quick overview of his first year: smiling by 3 weeks old, laughing at 1 and 1/2 months, lifting his chest off the floor. During his 4th to 5th month he learned to sit unsupported, give kisses, and look to find people and objects when asked where they were. He was crawling at 5 and 1/2 months, walked at 9, and by 11 months had a vocabulary of about 60 words. He now can count to 20 and knows his ABC's fairly well. He is obsessed with anything to do with dinosaurs. His memory amazes me, he can remember some of the most obscure things, but he seems completely uninterested lately in learning his ABC's and numbers, though he loves to count, and he wants to read. He asks often: "What does this say?", while pointing to words. Is he gifted, or merely bright?

I have a 2 1/2y/o and a 11m/o.
Both girls are so sweet and play well with each other. But these past few days my 2y/o has gotten to be really upset. I'm 21wks Pg. and finally started showing. We tell my 2y/o that mama is having another "sissy" and she gets so upset. She's gotten to where she wakes up at 4.am and refuses to go back to bed until late at night. If my 11m/o so much as looks at my 2y/o sometimes, my 2y/o screams so bad and hates for my youngest to get close to me. I've done time-outs which have my 2y/o throwing herself down. I talk to her about the role of being a big sister and that she is still our baby and so important to us, but she won't hear any of it. I spend 1on1 time with her every day, i cuddle her alot, we read, play, all sorts, but as soon as my 11m/o wakes up, the screaming starts again. I'm afraid it will get worse when i have this baby. How can i control her temper and help her. I'm always showing my affection and love but she's still upset.

My daughter has suddenly decided to pitch a fit when I put her in the bathtub. She literaly cries, screams and arches her back when I put her in the bath seat. If I get her in the seat she continues to scream and squirm. I have tried to hold her in the bathtub and not put her in the seat, but that didn't work either. I have resorted to giving her sponge baths. I have two boys (4 and 2) and I never had any trouble bathing them. I would appreciate any help not sarcasm. Any ideas or tips? Thank you!

My daughter is 15 months and falls asleep by herself every night with a bottle. Each night she wakes between 12.30 and 2.30am and will not fall back to sleep without another bottle! I have tried different routines - even cutting out her daytime sleep and nothing is working.
She also wakes extremely early in the morning but is still tired.
Please help.

I saw a lady today at a playgroup I go to with the most well behaved children I've ever seen. She had twin-toddlers (2yrs) mind you! They listened (for the most part) on the first time, were very nice (even shared) with the other children. They are just starting to talk, but I could hear pleases and thank yous out of their little mouths too!

What's her secret? Are some children just more well behaved than others? Something about twins that makes them behave better?
