I am wondering what I can do about this. My son is 15 months old. When he misbehaves and we raise our voice or change our tone he starts screaming, crying, and hitting himself in the head. Why would he do this?

My son (4) has been deaf since October due to glue ear, we have to shout for him to hear us, and he then gets upset because he thinks we're angry. He's become withdrawn at nursery, and is half the boy he was. We waited 3 months for an ENT appt on the NHS which we went to last week, a hearing test was done, which he failed miserably. The consultant confirmed that he would need grommets, but wanted to do another hearing test first, which is a 2 months wait...and then, they'll put him on the waiting list for grommets which is another 3 months. Do you not think that a total of 9 months of being deaf is too much for a 4 year old to take, especially as this is a vital learning stage? The consultant said that it won't affect his learning, but I have to disagree. Do you think with letters from my GP saying how distressed we are (it's getting me down having to shout all the time) and from his nursery saying he's withdrawn etc, we might be able to get it done any sooner?

She is my niece and she is 26 months. She can speak two languages and you would conclude she is around four/five if you heard her speak. She stays with my mom who owns a day care centre and my niece has been a learner there since she was just a month old. At five months, she was crawling and she took part in everything that she older kids did, from singing, to rhymes to drama etc. Her mom was an average student but her father jumped a few grades a school andh e has always been best in his class and he is a Chartered Accountant. There are around twelve other kids around my nieces age and started attending the day centre from just a few weeks old for 3 months...what puzzles me is that they can't speak, they are having serious problems with potty training, and they don't know their own names..my niece knows all their names and surnames. I wanna know if she might be gifted and if she is, how do we as family develop that gift? thanks.

My 5-year-old recently started to lie to me about little things, like if he snuck a cookie, took something away from his little brother, etc. I tell him that he will get into more trouble if he does not tell me the truth, but he continues to tell little white lies. I am concerned that this will become a bigger problem and want to hear from fellow parents who have ever dealt with this and what effective tools they used to overcome it. Thank you!

My son was an angel till he turned two-and-half. But still he could be managed to an extent. But since he started going to school January of this year, he has turned into a little monster, totally out of control. He has become disobedient, he refuses to acknowledge us, he just simply does not listen to us at all. We are also trying to potty train him at the same time and nothing is working out. This is so frustating and both my husband and I are very upset. The only word my son is in love with right now is 'NO'. He throws tantrums, he screams and cries. His behaviour doesn't change even when we take him out. Either he won't get in the car, or if he is inside, then he won't get out. Sometimes we wonder why we bother...it is a battle all the way through. Today was the last straw when his pre-school teacher complained that he was very naughty and disobedient. How do we discipline our child? How do we get back our sweet little boy? Please help urgently.

Today, I had to get a babysitter for my 3 year old son to finish some homework and tonight at bedtime he told me "Mommy, I want you to cry" and "I don't like you".
Should I be concerned, or is this just because he felt abandoned today? (We DID take him to the "red store" Target and buy him a new toy........) Maybe he thinks I'd rather buy him things than spend time with him?
Later he gave me a big hug and a kiss and asked me to lay down with him, but his "I don't like you" and "I want you to cry" have me really worried.
I'm looking for opinions from PROFESSIONALS ONLY who can say whether this is normal for this age and under the circumstances where mom has to have a day to herself for whatever reason........... I try to do my school work while my son is at preschool, but today was President's Day so we were home together and I had a huge project due. I did promise to take him somewhere fun later this week, but I don't know if he understands that yet.

My 15 month old son has Eczema he is on a cream from the doctor but it doesnt seem to be helping. He also doesnt eat ANY veggies and only eats bananas as a fruit. He doesnt like the wet juicy feeling!

So here are my 3 questions:
How do you treat your childs eczema?
Any fruits or veggies out there that can be mixed with something else so that he will eat them?
Do you/Can you give your toddler vitamin supplements? If so what do you give them?

THANKS A BUNCH!

my 3 year old son told me that his 4 1/2 almost 5 year old cousin told him to pull down his pants --which he did and that his other 3 year old cousin (who is brothers with the 4 1/2) touched his penis. the 4 1/2 year old cousin has already been caught with another cousin several times trying to get him to pull his pants down. and i already caught the 4 1/2 year trying to bump his penis on my son which i stopped immediately. i know kids are curious but this seems to be a little too much and i am at the point where i dont want my son to be around his two cousins, i already try to avoid them but the problem is family events. what do you think?

I want my 13 month old to fall asleep by herself and sleep through the night. We o through out night time routine and then i make sure I put her to bed awake. she hates it. sh also doesnt want to go near her room anymore because she thinks I'm gonna stick her in her bed and leave. I am so heartbroken over this and am willing to nurse her till she is 14 years old. lol. No but when we are in her room getting ready for bed all she does is try to escape. We tried the Ferber method but its been month and she still cries at least 30 min every night until she does pass out by herself. I have also gradually weaned her from her 2 night feedings. If she wakes up for them my husband goes in to calm her. But how can I make her feel more comfortable to go to sleep? feel safe in her room and ok with me leaving when we shut the lights??
has anyone been through this?
