my son is 2 years old.. i cant keep a diaper on him to save my soul. the other day he took his diaper off and pooed in his room. on the carpet. it was a big mess and i didnt get upset with him because i didnt know if this is a sign i need to start potty training. my son cant talk and he cant tell me when he's wet and he cant pull his pants up and down. he takes intrest in his potty, and our potty, he likes to flush to toliet and he likes to sit on his potty (naked) we do this before tubby if he wants to its his choice) and he reads books but he doesnt go. i am about ready to duct tape the diaper to him.. lol i just really dont know what to do about this anymore he cant talk at all and is going for a developmental assessment to see if he has any thing wrong with him he may just be really slow too... the only thing he can say is "go" and "no" "dadda" "mamma" very basic. anyways if someone could help me i would appriciate it. thank you!

Me and my gf had an argument over this. I feel kids should spend time with their parents until they are 7 or 8, may be homeshcool them till then. But she wants to send them to school when they are 4. Her Opinion is that we would spoil kids if we keep em home and they need to spend time with other kids. But why so young?
I've learned in my personal experience that when you send kids off so early, it damages the relationship between you and them as they dont get to spend time with you in their early days. shouldn't it be parents that spends most of hours time with them? or teachers n nannies?
goin to school is Imp.. But whats the right age?

My son is 2 (28 mos.). He has known all his letters for a while now. He can identify them easily. For example, if you print the letter M he will tell you it's an M and "M says mmmm." He also identifies all numbers with ease. He's known his colors and shapes since he was 12 months. What should he be working on now? I don't want him to be bored with the same old things. Is it too early to try to teach him to print his letters? What about reading short words? Lately he's not very interested in books. He's on a kick now where he wants us to make up stories and TELL him stories instead. The other thing is that he's obsessed with sports. He sleeps with his football and basketball every night and loves to throw and dribble.

My son is 18 months...he doesn't talk hardly at all (Doc says he is fine...just the 3rd child that has older siblings to talk for him). He just screams and yells for everything. Even just for his milk..he'll point to it and scream. I've tried whispering to him, telling him no, putting him to bed, even lightly spanking him with a no. He just screams louder. We can't go to restaurants anymore because he'll get done eating and start screaming. I know he is spoiled, but I'm at my wits end. Please help.

I am going crazy!!! She needs to poop and holds it in. For days. We are on day 3 right now. She poops a tiny bit about every 20 minutes. She gets angry and hides in her closet and yells at me and screeches. I don't know what to do. She's impossible to deal with. Then she cries. She pees in the potty just fine. She has always had constipation problems so this is typical. But it's interfereing with potty training. She has a poor diet because she will not eat most foods (except those that contribute to constipation). I've tried starving her (she'll eat those veggies when she's hungry enough). But that doesn't work, she just won't eat. She's so smart, why is she holding in her poop? I can see the strain in her face when she's holding it in. Our days are miserable and we can't take her anywhere. She'll yell at anyone that looks at her. How can I change this. I've even tried fludding her with laxatives so that she can't help but poop. No dice.

My son had problems with me consuming dairy starting at birth (I was breastfeeding). I started eating dairy products in small quantities when he was 6 months old and he had no reactions. At 14 1/2 months old I wanted to wean him from breastfeeding so the doctor gave the okay to try cows milk. He seemed to have no problems with it. So I had been completely done weaning for 2 weeks and he got extremely constipated until I started giving him flax oil every day on top of the ground flax seeds I had already been using. He had also been sleeping poorly starting at 6 months but the doctor chalked it up to being teething. So for the past 5 days now I haven't given him any cows milk and he is waking up once at night. Prior to not giving him cows milk he was getting up 4, 5, 6 times. He still eats plenty of yogurt and cheese. I have been debating giving him soy milk but then I was reading about the effects of too much estrogen on little bodies. What do you think?

It doesn't have caffeine or sugar so it seems like it would be ok to use.

When my children were small I did a diploma in preprimary education and I know how important it is for that age group to learn and explore freely, without a stupid mom trying to force them to sit still and hold crayons and form letters! (Probably just to impress their friends with the phenomenal IQ of their offspring.) It's so important for them to spend a lot of time just playing, because it's their way of learning.

And as a primary school teacher I've seen the harm done by mothers who push their kids beyond their limits. Isn't the best thing you can do for your kid to let them grow and develop by supplying what they need, but also ACCEPTING what they are without forcing them into a mold?

Hello has anyone got any bright (and sensible) ideas on how to stop children (2 and 3 years old) who share a room getting up and switching the light on (and hence then waking the other up) Ideally I'm looking for a product that I can either bolt over the existing lightswitch to protect it or a childproof lightswitch which I can swap the old one out for.

Our cat died last night in it's sleep. Our son is 2 and a half. Chances are he has no idea or concept of death yet and my first instinct is that now is a good time to learn.
I don't want to sugar coat it and it would need to be handled sensitively but I think now would be a good time for him to see our cat dead and to see her buried in our garden and mourn her together and begin to understand what that means.

He'll learn about it anyway but at 2 1/2 is he too young?

I have a 25 month old who I am trying to potty train. We were doing really well for about 3 months, she went to the potty all throught the day. We even got her big girl nickers like mummy to wear that she loved. Every time after she went to the potty she loved going and putting it in the big potty (toilet) by herself. She only had a nappie on when she went to bed or if we went to the shops.

But for some reason, in the last week she refuses to use her potty and pee's on the floor. She hasnt had any bad experince or anything while using it

I am 37 weeks pregant and find it hard to pick her up and race her to the toilet all the time and its hard for me to bend over to clean up her mess all the time.

Any ideas would be helpful thanks

My 19 months old daughter has had really weird toenails since she was born. They are really dry and break off all the time. Her pinky nail is barely there and there have been several times that it has been so dry that it just falls off. I've never shown it to her doctor because I just didn't think about it, but my friend saw her toenails and said she'd never seen a child's nails like this before. I have never had to cut her toenails because they grow a little and then break off. I just e-mailed my daughter's doctor about it, but was wondering if anyone here has a child with toenails like this?

1). my stepbro sleeps with his diaper on & he's 4 years old. do u think he should be wearing diapers still (he only wears it at night).
because sometimes he poops on the bed. he did some awful things to with the bed, like went in the fridge & got some eggs and ham and put it all over the bed... so is there any hope for him so he won't be doing any thing like this anymore?

2). I have swimming in school & for some reason the gym teacher won't let us take a shower before we go to the next class & the teacher cleans out the pool like twice a week, do u think it should be everyday or twice a week.

3) comments are greatly appreciated.

Okay here is the story.... I was watching this little girl (my parents were down stairs) then I had to take the dog out. So my dad was watching her and she jumped up on the couch, and before anybody could get her, she fell backwards and hit her head on the corner of a metal table. She started crying really bad and I though it was just a bruise but when I checked again, she was bleeding on her head. I ran upstairs and got some bactine and neosporin and put it on her cut. It stopped bleeding on its own and after looking at it a bit, I realized it wasn't to deep and only looked like a little scratch. She was able to sit p by herself and watch T.V. by herself but I was very scared to find her sleeping on the couch. I tried to wake her up and she just looked at me. I told her to say her name and she murmered it and fell back asleep. We called the parents and they came and picked her up. I'm just wondering if she should get seen by a doctor. She wakes up when I call her name... Please help!!
