Toddler & Preschooler - March 2007

Okay. My 2 year old refuses to go to bed or anything without a cup of juice or milk. She will not drink water. She will throw a fit without a cup. How can I calm her temper down and let her be able to go to sleep without a cup?
Also she drinks so much throughout the day. She always has to have a cup full of juice or milk! I dont know how she is so skinny because she should be chubby as much as she drinks!

She doesn't take no more than a half hour nap in the afternoon. She gets up at 8 or 9 in the morning. I like to go to bed about 10 or so but she will not! Her door to her room will not close so I can't shut her in her room to get her to go to bed. She throws a fit when I try to get her to lay down with me. I am always so tired because I want a good nights sleep. I dont know how my 2 year old can do this!

My daughter has a million of the "Little People" toys and doesn't even look at any of it anymore (the dollhouse, car, bus, pirate ship...). Does anyone have any suggestions as to what else to get her that will hold her attention and allow her to use her imagination? I really try to stay away from too many electronic toys. Any suggestions???
Thanking you in advance, Flamingo.

She was in a great bedtime routine, loved her crib and had no problems sleeping and then got very sick and I brought her to bed with us. We then moved and she was still with us because we thought her new room scared her or she wasn't used to it yet. 2 months later, she now screams her head off when I put her in her crib at all- day or night.
I have tried to let her cry it out but that doesn't work for us. She literaly screamed for 6 hours straight with out stopping from 9:30pm to 3:30am. I usually get her to sleep in my bed and then put her in her crib when she is asleep. She then wakes up and continues to scream. If I check on her, the screaming gets worse. If I let her stay in her crib with out checking on her, the screaming just remains constant. Any ideas? and if anyone is seriously saying let her continue to scream it out, how many hours should I let her scream? stop after 6hours? 10?
She sleeps wonderfully in my bed unfortuantly.

he's 4. Mom's not in the picture... anyway it's really hard to get him to vary his diet, all he ever wants to eat is yoplait yogurt.

My best friend is getting married next weekend and my husband and I are thinking about letting my mother-in-law watch our daughter for a few hours instead of taking her to the wedding because she will not sit still through the ceremony. She wants to go run around and run off and I just don't know what to do. A friend bought us the teddy bear backpack that has the "leash" (for lack of a better term) and I tried it just once and she doesn't like it. Is this normal behavior?? I feel so bad because every time I try to take her somewhere she just wants to run off. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I started feeding my baby meet and chicken since she was 8 months, and fish when she reached 10 months, realizing the great value of nutrition shes getting from fish and the scary facts we hear about daily on bird flue ad mad cow disease, I would like to switch her to only fish (permanently), but I live in the UK and fresh fish can be really expensive, is it alright to give her canned tuna along with fresh fish, so I won't need to buy fresh fish every day? or is it unsuitable for her age?
