Toddler & Preschooler - February 2007

I'm thinking it may be time to get rid of my son's crib. He's 20 months old. I think he'd be okay with it, considering he naps on the couch and never falls off. However, I'm worried that he'll get up and wander around the house by himself. When did you put your kid in a bed?

And he is a very unattractive baby? I know all of God's childern are beautiful, but I am guessing that this grandma is constantly asking me this and saying how beautiful her grandson is because she is insecure. How many times do I have to be in an awkward postion without hurting any feelings? What do you do about this?

My 15mth old son cheeks are really red.. Kinda looks like he is really hot. His cheeks are not always like this but seems like after he drinks milk they get really red. Could it be a rash, or allergy 2 the milk or what could it be?

We can put them in the bed around 8 or so and it will be after 11 when they finally go to sleep. They lay there and talk and play. We usually end up spanking them before they will finally be still and go to sleep. Does anyone have any suggestions? Help please!

I have this problem. My closest loved ones tell me that I speak before I think. That's not the problem though. The problem is that I don't even realize it until they tell me. When I do think about it afterwards I put myself in a third person perspective and I can be horrified at the way some things I say may come across. I don't mean it the way it sounds but can't seem to catch myself before it comes out. Any advice? Anyone else do that too? Just turned 24 if that makes a difference.

Yes, I have six kids. They are all my angel babies but they do grow horns and lose their wings at times.

I just walked into my girls room and five of them are coloring their little "cave drawings" all over the wall in neon sharpie. That was only the first part.So I went to put my son in the bath after he pooed in his pants, and the bathtub is full of toilet paper and little fruit cups. In the toilet, I see a whole KFC chicken leg, and in the sink a bunch of mashed potato wedges.What next? I decided that it was time for the corner, so I went into the living room and what do I see? Six little lunatics feeding the fish cheerios and beating up on daddy. Then I notice that the dog hs a peanut butter sandwich smeared on his back.So, could It get any worse? My daughter runs to me crying and saying that her brother stuck a "bizztard" on her. She turns around and I see my sons baby lizard clamped its mouth shut on her back.Done yet?

My son has been potty trained for well over a year now and in the past 4 days he has peed his pants 6 times and he seems to not know he needs to potty. I was thinking that it could be a UTI. Does anyone have any suggestions of what it could be?

Yesterday I made chicken noodle cassorole with corn. He loved it! Tonight I heated up the leftovers and he wouldn't touch it! I know that he is hungry, he hasn't had anything since lunch. He keeps pointing to the box of cherrios on top of the fridge! he is 1 by the way. Do I just give in and feed him something I know he will eat, or what? I can't make him eat the cassorole, he sat in his highchair for 20 minutes and would'nt even try it. So when this happens what do you do? What should I do?

Do you think a regular single bed is best or should I get a special toddler bed? Does it make a difference?

I have a 3 year old son. He always throws tantrums at daddy and cries every morning when I am not there to prepare him for childcare. In short, he makes daddy real pissed and has to give him the rod to make him stop. What can I or daddy do to curb this kind of problem? I can't simply quit my job to look after him.....

Tonight, we had fried chicken, potato salad, and deviled eggs.

My 3yo used a plastic knife to dice the egg whites. He also removed the yolks and put them in a seperate bowl.

My 5yo measured mayonaisse, and mixed the filling for the deviled eggs.

My 3yo also set the table.

My 5yo also cleared it.

Their grandma says I'm pushing them too hard, and being lazy and making them do work that is mine. What do you think?

We have been potty training my daughter for a few months now. She is staying completely dry even at night. The problem we have is she wakes up several times a night to use the bathroom and stands in the bathroom crying until we come help her. We try to encourage her to pull her own pj down and get on the toilet but she just cries and asks for help. We have installed night lights and leave the bathroom light on. We also have her potty seat and step stool in place to make it as easy as possible. She calls out for us to come help and cries until everyone in the house is awake. I don't know what to do to stop this. Please help anyone!

My nephew is 4 and 1/2 and still speaks baby language. He doesn't speak sentences or say the words clearly. He doesn't like to play with others, and when we go into public he pretends he's falling asleep and will just lay there, we could be in a crowded restaurant or at a children's museum. He just finished potty training, and doesn't have any manners. He will just take things away from kids and people, without asking or saying please and thank you. My brother is a single parent and is always at work and school and just leaves him at whoever's house that can babysit. I told him to see a specialist, but he thinks his son is just being cute and baby talks him, encouraging him. What do you think?

After my daughter wakes up from her naps regardless of how long she has napped she continues to yawn. Does that mean that she is still tired? She sleeps on average of 14 hours a day and she is 6 months old. She is active and happy, just yawns a lot.

My son is 13months old, and is a very good crawler and walker. He never falls when walking. But if he decides to sit down to play with something, he cannot stand up independently yet. He always crawls to something to hold on to, to help him stand back up. I've tried a couple of diff. things to get him to try to stand up by himself, but I have yet to succeed. I know he has the ability and balance to do it because I'll hold on to him and let him stand up using me, and he doesn't 'pull' up. He just holds on and uses his legs. Does anyone have any 'excercise'/'technique' suggestions on how I might help him develope the understanding that he can do it on his own? I do understand that each baby developes on their own timeline and I'm not trying to push him, I'm just trying to help him learn. So please save the rude and unhelpful comments
