My 3 yr old (almost 4) is such a whinner.. I understand sometimes, but its really getting annoying. I have tried everything. I talk to her like a big girl, tell her to go to her room till she can talk without whinning, everything.. but nothing seems to help.
It can be the littlest things too..
ex: She wanted candy at 8 am. I said no, you need either cereal, pop tart, toast, ect.. (and i gave her a choise) but no. She started to whine.. i talked to her calmly about it, but it didnt help.. what can i do??

I have a portable CD player with headphones. It seems so outdated and there is no place to put it on the exercise equipment.

My son FREAKS out when he gets water near his eyes. I'm not sure why, he has been in play 'n learn swim classes since he was 6 months old and LOVES to swim but will NOT put his face in the water or let water be poured over his head. I'm afraid he'll still be taking baths when he's 20 at this rate LOL

Is there anything I can do to help him overcome this? Any ideas would be appreciated :)

I keep an almost 19 month old during the week. When he first started here at the end of the summer he was 14 months old and understandably teething. Now he has all of his teeth and has for about 3 months, yet he puts everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING in his mouth. So I know for a fact he is not teething. Random toys (size doesn't matter), books, playdoh, lego's, paper, dolls, doll pacifiers, doll hands/arms, clothes, his fingers, wooden puzzle pieces, small pieces of trash he finds on the floor, the straps on his overalls - doesn't matter, he wants to put it in his mouth and "taste" it. As far as food is concerned he's somewhat chubby, quite greedy with food and eats a lot, but I don't know if this has anything to do with the other issue. It doesn't matter if I tell him politely 75 times a day not to put things in his mouth or scream it, he won't stop. Any suggestions?

I'm a stay at home mom and I have a 15 month old boy and a 3 year old girl. We do everything together and I beginning to think I'm boring them! We go to the park and we have a huge swing set in our backyard. We color and do alphabet flash cards but my but my 15 mth. old eats the crayons (J/K :)) and my 3 yr. old is not really in to coloring anymore. We go to the pool but it's Winter and even though I live in Florida it's still not pool weather most days. Lips winde up blue! I've thought about joining those little baby gyms but the closest one to my house is 45 minutes away-no joke! We've got tons of toys/movies/board games but my kids are getting tired of the same old stuff everyday and farnkly.....so am I.
I would greatly appreciate any positive feedback from moms who got it going on and other people who can help me stimulate my little cuties. Thanx!

I feel like I'm starting bad habits with my 18 month old...it seems like I'm always giving in to her little tantrums. I don't want to see her sad and crying...and I'm pretty sure she's taking advantage of me now. I don't want to spank or yell...that's not me...I just need to figure out how to be firm with her.

My two year old has had a really nasty cough since right before Christmas.. She's also had a runny nose for about that long too.. Day before yesterday she started complaining of her neck hurting her.. Her temp has been staying constant around 99-100 and when I spoke to my doctor the other day (before the neck pain) he said as long as her temp is under 101 she's fine.. Just give her plenty of fluids and let her rest...

Should I take her to the ER or just keep trying to get my doctor to see her?
Any suggestions would be great!

We are about to start doing up a room for our toddler to go in to (she is is the nursery small room and another is on its way!). Does anyone have any suggestions how I can decorate it? I don't want to go too girly as it will still be used if we have guests but I don't want yellow either. I am, therefore, stumped. Help!

I discovered yesterday that my daughter has a MySpace page on which she claims to be 19, uses nasty language, says she doesn't care how old she is when she loses her virginity and other things that make parents scream! She's 12!
I know it's normal for a child her age to start forming her own identity apart from her parents and experimenting with boundaries. However, I can't just sit idly by and pretend I never saw the page or that her behavior is in any way appropriate. I don't wish to stop her from expressing herself and I don't want to take away all her privacy, but she clearly needs to clean up her act and she needs a healthier way to express herself.
How do I point her in the right direction without creating quite the opposite effect? I don't want to push her into further secrecy, but I can't neglect my duty as her mother.

I have an 19month daughter who throws the biggest tantrums when she doesnt get her own way. This isn't really the big problem. The problem is that she will hit her 4yr old brother or anyone else close to her including me and daddy. Any ideas on how to stop her doing this. She also likes to scratch and pinch. If you have any good advice on how to stop her then please tell me.

I want to try a recipe and she eats with us but was unsure if she could eat those soft cheeses at this age. (I know you need to be careful with them eating certain cheeses when they are weaning but unsure when this stops!)

My daughter is two years old and likes to pack her book bag with different items from different places. She carries the bookbag everywhere. It takes her a very long time to pack her bag so that we can leave the house. She won't go in the stores with out the bag and it is driving me crazy. She takes strange things to bed with her example (calculator). I think my child has insecurity issues but I don't know why. I love my daughter very much and I want her to feel secure and comfortable, but it is a lot of work in getting her to leave the house or anywhere with out that bookbag. I have tried to give her one item to have all the time (teddy bear) but she prefers to have a variety of things to carry. Help me to understand my daughter.

My daughter is only 10 months now, but I was just curious for the sake of future reference. How long can she sleep in her crib before she needs a toddler bed? I would worry about her getting up in the middle of the night and me not knowing about it if I put her in a toddler bed too soon. When you make the transition with your children, do you find that it is harder at first to get them to go to sleep? Or does it make bedtime more fun since they are more easily accessible for hugs and kisses and you get to tuck them in?
I just remember my cousin telling me about when she put her son in his toddler bed and he kept getting up in the middle of the night, running around the apartment and trying to crawl into bed with her. I can understand why she was stressed out because she was worried that he might get hurt or something might happen while she was asleep... Anyway thanks to anyone with helpful information or suggestions :)

My girl started at 17 months...she is 25 months now. Ive tried her in underpants..she pees in them. In bare-bottom, she pees on the floor if Im not too observant. She is great with peeing and pooping in the potty..sometimes when I suggest it..and other times when she suggests it. Nothing is consistant though. Is there something else I can do? She still pees in her diaper/pullups in between potty-use.

I just feel like she should be fully ready by now! Its been almost a year on the toilet!
