Healthy eating for a five year old?
Hi. I know that some of you are going to say, 'shame on you', but trust me, I have already said worse stuff so you wont hurt me anymore than I have already done. I need some help, real help not some fly by night operation just trying to score some points. My son is five years old and weighs 80lbs. Yes, it is my fault. I am the adult here and I could have said no. I really would like to know what I can do to get his weight off, eat healthy, etc. His dr. says he needs to lose about 20 lbs (he is very tall). How much is enough? He always says that he is hungry. I feel that I should give him something to eat and I know this is wrong. Yes, he wants the junk stuff. Should I just throw away everything in the house and start over? What should he be eating? Acup? 2 ounces? Help me please...

Ok my son just turned 1 2 weeks ago. It is just insane to me how bad they can be so early on. IF he doesnt want to do something or you do something he doesnt like he bites and smacks and kicks and screams. I took him to walmart the other day and he wanted to walk and i wouldnt let him and he bit me in my face and drew blood and then smacked me. One time he got mad and smacked me in my nose and it bled for 20 mins. Any advice on what i should do. I know some of you will say hes to young for this kind of behavior but he knows what he is doin. He knows when he does something wrong because if you catch him he will run from you or laugh. Only serious answers please.

My son is almost 2 and completely tries to disobey everything I say.He never listens to me when I say no or swat him on the butt if he is doing what he knows he shouldn't.He laughs at me when I correct him and the more I do correct him the more he does what he should not.He always obeys his dad though-my hubby has to say NO 1 time and our son obeys.Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.
Also-I am 33 weeks pregnant and will have my hands full with a disobedient toddler and a newborn!

I am a 23 year old mother with a four year old boy. He has gotten to the point where he will barely listen to me anymore. It seems like he is so lazy and uncooperative. I am so stressed out with this child I don't know what to do any more. It seems like I have tried everything, like asking him nicely to do something, that don't work. I have tried being firm when telling him to do something,that also don't work. I even tried hollering at him and spanking him on his hand or butt and that dont even work. He is a very stubborn child.....what do I do??

I bought her a new dress, panty hose/tights etc. Does she wear both underpants and the tights, or just the tights? If both, which one goes on first?

My 3 year old son woke up whinny this morning.... I gave him a cup of milk... he puked almosat immediatly after finishing the about 4 oz. cup! I felt his forehead, he felt about 99. just a little feverish! He puked about 4 more times within the time of an hour! He was acting like he felt fine the whole time mind you, wanting to play and what not! The hasn't puked in about 7 hours now, is still a little whinny, a little feverish, he is playing, and kept down juice and soup with crackers! Is he sick, or did he eat something bad? Should I try and let him eat solid foods, or what? Just some information would be nice! Thanks!

About a week ago I noticed my son has cut his 7th and 8th tooth, he has gotten 4 teeth in the past month. Whenever he goes through teething, he has gotten a bad rash, a high fever, and diaper rash....but I dont know that this is what it is. I mean, he's teething and I thought it was at first, but it's not going away! He seems fine and he's very happy but this rash on his face is breaking my heart! It's red and it looks like little pimples all over his face. I almost want to say it looks like heat rash or something. I give him bath's twice a day and I always keep him clean. I dont know what to do! Does anyone have any suggestions for me? And please be nice, people have a tendency to be a little judgemental here.....

My son is 21 months old. He is very tall for his age, but thinner than the adverage child. He is wearing 24 mnths clothes well and has been for about 3 months. I am wanting to buy ahead while off season clothes are on sale, but need help. How old was your child when they wore 2T, How about 3T, and 4T?
Please let me know how old your child is and what their build is so I can guess what my son's build might need to fit him.
Thank you very much.

My son is thirteen months old, he has not learned how to walk but he does pull up on furniture and walk along the furniture. Should I be concerned that he won't let go? Also, is it true that babies who teethe early walk late?

The doctors have said that my son is very advanced for his age. He can talk, but he gets frustrated when we cant understand, also I was wondering what all I can do to help him with learning what the words are and mean. Can anyone give me any help on what to tell my husband to insure him that this is normal.

My fiance was divorced and has a daughter who is 3 1/2 years old and doesn't even recognize that she has wet herself. The mother who has custody during the week says she just isn't ready, and she would still be nursing if my fiance didn't live 3 hours away. My fiance wants to start potty training any ideas on what to do?

My daughter had a friend over to play 2 days ago. Her mom called today to say she has lice. I guess her daughter had been scratching earlier in the week, but she didn't think anything of it.

As of right now my daughter shows no signs. I've gone ahead & stripped her bed, vacuumed her floors. Not sure what else I should do since I don't see anything yet. I just want to know when we're in the clear!

I've been asked "what could he be angry at?" I don't see him as being angry at all. He plays well with others, he's happy, he sings, he plays well by himself. He can show a temper and he does, but this is not all the time. When he begins to show his temper because he doesn't want to stop to do something we need to do, I will tell him that as soon as we finsh whatever it is we need to do, then he can go back to what it was he was doing. Most times, he will be fine with this and then there are those times he's not so fine with it, but just the same, if there is something we need to do, we will do it and then he get's to go back to what he was doing. He's polite and says thank you many times. When I mention to him that he needs to be a good boy at school, he will many times say to me "Nooooo biting." I feel like he understands the biting not acceptable, and the daycare will call me on his first bite and if he bites a second time - I am asked to pick him up.... I don't understand.
