Toddler & Preschooler - March 2007

My 15 month old son screams bloody murder during the night without ever waking up. Could he be having nightmares or is he in some sort of pain. And why doesn't he wake up?

My daughter is getting tired of her standard eggs, toast, and fruit breakfast. Does anyone have any healthy breakfast ideas that she can feed herself (not oatmeal...too messy)?

My step son Micah is terrified of water on his head. He won't take a shower or a bath without a fight! He kicks, hits and screams at the top of is lungs! He will hold his ears, so I thought maybe the water was hurting his ears so I got him ear plugs! That didnt help. I tryed takin a shower with him and we both ended up falling! Baths don't work either! Me and his dad talked to his mom about it and she told us to try washing his hair in the sink, he busted his forehead open on the faucet trying to get away? I just dont have any more ideas on what to do? Someone I need advice.....

He tugged on his ear and started putting his finger in it, but never cried or even let me know he was in pain (hes 15 months) so I had no idea. Yesterday he vomitted all over his crib, and has had the runs so bad. I gave him nothing but pedialite and if he was hungry I followed the BRAT diet, but late afternoon his butt was bleeding and he was crying so hysterical that I took him to urgent care because I knew I no longer had the situation under control. They gave him an antibiotic and nystacin ointment for his butt and told me only to rinse him in the bathtub no wiping at all.
My question is this, now what! Its a beautiful day, all the little tots are outside, he is waving and whining by the window, can I take him outside? Can he get dirty, the risk of taking a bath God can he ever get water in his ear? The diarreha has stopped and he is in otherwise good spirits? Any suggestions for I no longer trust my gut instincts :(

She is nice one minute and mean the next. I have a one warning policy I tell her If she does it again it is a time out in her crib for 2 min. I know she is just trying to get my attention. But pleasae I need some advice. We don't spank in my family. Time out seem to work and yes I'm consistant with them. But I would love to know if it is developmental or behavioral.

I have a day care in my home and I'm having a hard time with one child. She's a little over 2 years and going through seperation anxiety. Her parents, despite my requests not to, sit with her in the morning and allow her to cry and pitch a fit. Once the parents leave, the child is fine and has no problem. This morning the grandmother brought her and stayed for 45 minutes! This was the longest anyone had stayed and the worst behavior the child ever had, even after the grandmother left she continued to kick and scream to the point of me having to put her in her bed for a time out. I have an open door policy, but this child's behavior is a direct result of her parents' babying and it doesn't need to continue. I'm thinking of telling these parents that they must not enter my home for the time being and let me meet them at the door when they arrive so we can stop this now. What would you think if your day care asked this of you? It's very disturbing to me and the other kids.

My son has been potty trained since he was two, but now i want to know how do i make the transition from sitting to standing. I've had my dad take him to the bathroom with him when he is at their house, but when he gets home he doesn't want to stand. He wants to sit!
I am a single mother and I have been told that since it's just me and him, he will continue to imitate me. I don't let him come in with me anymore, so how do i stop him from imitating me? Please help! I'm open for any good suggestions. Thank you in advance!!

How old were your children when they started imitating things that you did? How old were they when they started using a spoon. When do they start realizing how things funtion, using a toothbrush, brushing their hair, ect.?

How do I forgive my pencil for acting bad in school today? It wouldn't write, kept crying, and talking out loud. Suddenly, my teacher yelled at it.. and my poor pencil started crying. I couldn't help myself from crying too. The look on my pencils eraser was enough to make me lose it. I balled my eyes out for minutes..

I'm not happy with my #2 pencil.. it looks lonely.. how do I forgive and forget?

making up stories that involve her mother--who abandoned her at 2 months before her 2nd birthday?
She is lovingly cared for in the daytime by her aunt and grandmother, as well as her dad and his girlfriend in the evenings and weekends. She has a 'star' personality--she gets attn. where ever she goes and is loved by any new ppl. she has an abundance of love & attn, so why make up stories about someone she should have forgotten by now?
Also, her mother paid very little attn to her and her autistic brother before the mom abandoned the kids.

Advice please. I have just adopted a three year old blue merle border collie from an animal rescue.
The only history given was that he was brought up with 3 children and a cat and was given to the rescue (along with the cat) because his owners where moving and the new property had a 'No Pets' policy. I will never know if this story is true or false.
I haven't brought him home yet as I am having new fencing put up in my garden to make it pooch proof. I go to the rescue most days to walk him, I hope to fetch him home next week. He isn't use to a lead, he tries to bite it in a playful way. He pulls like mad too. Would a haltie be a good idea once I get him home? The rescue give me a choker to walk him with, but he pants and chokes like crazy. He will sit, lie give paw on command but they are brief, as soon as he sits he's up again and the same for lie down. He doesn't like other dogs and isn't neuterd. Ides or advice welcome. Would agility be a possibility in future or is he too old?

He seems to have no desire or interest in using the potty, although he does understand the concept. He tells us when his diaper is dirty or wet, and even tells his 3 month old brother that he needs to pee/poo on the potty so his butt doesn't get sore, but he won't do it himself. Everyone says he'll do it when he's ready--is there anything I can do to make him ready? We've tried rewards and punishments, but nothing works.
