I was just curious what the daycare you send your child to does with them all day--as in routine, activites, and so on. If you wouldn't mind I'd also like their age.

Thanks!

My brother has a 2 year old that doesn't listen. Are you able to reason with a 2 year old? He says you can't, but I was just wondering what everyone else thought.

My daughter is 21 months old and she sleeps about 15 hours at night and has a 3 hour nap during the day. If i wake her up early than she is very cranky and has to have like 2 three hour naps. For example last night she went to bed at 9:30 and woke up this afternoon at 12:50. I just hope nothing is wrong with her. She acts normal wit lots of energy during the day so I dont know if there is something wrong or not. Anyone have any answers or advice?

I have a four year old boy that I am trying to teach some responsibility too. I am going to make a chart and at the end of the week if everything gets done he will get a small suprise. I already have: Picking up toys
Taking a bath
Brushing his teeth
Showing good manners
No back talking

Does anyone else have any other ideas!

we're working on potty training my almost 4 year old daughter. she's doing great but there's one problem... she won't poop. it's not that she won't go in the potty.. she just WON'T go. anywhere. not in her diaper or anything. she holds it until she HAS to go (at least a week) and then it hurts.. which is why she holds it again the next time she has to go.. is there anything i can do short of giving her a laxative every day? i know that can't possibly be good for her to do that.

My 4 1/2 month daughter is really good about going to bed at night. We've got a great routine (massage, bath, book and bottle) and she goes to sleep easily. Naptimes, however, are horrible and I don't know what to do about it. She catnaps for 30 minutes and then many times wakes up crying...I can tell she hasn't rested enough because when she has had enough sleep she wakes up smiling, cooing, and full of happiness. I try to reassure her periodically and go in every five minutes or so to pat her. I don't pick her up, I just pat her and comfort her. This eventually leads to her screaming and crying to the point where she's inconsolable and I end up scooping her into my arms and that's the end of naptime!
Does anyone have any tips for getting her to fall back on her own? I've tried swaddling her, pacifiers, a "comfort object"...nothing seems to help! I don't get why our nighttime routine works so beautifully but naptimes are such a mess!

I have attempted to wean my son before with no success. Now at 2 I am desperate to get him off of the bottle. The problem is, I have a 9 month old daughter and the bottle will be around at least for the next few months. What can I do to make this easier for him and for myself?

she said when my son had a bowel movement that it appeared there was blood in his poop. She said he is acting fine like nothing is wrong. I am just wondering if maybe he drank juice and that caused it. But, he only drinks juicy juice. Anyone had any experience with this.

My one year old has started to have tantrums and I have been told the way to deal with them is to ignore her. However she has started to throw her whole body backwards so she falls over and bangs her head. Is there something wrong with her, is this signs of some mental disability and how do I deal with it.

My daughter is 22 months old with a 101.9 temp and still going up. I have given her motrin at home and called the Dr office. She has no other symptoms besides the fever. I spoke with the nurse at my peditricians office and she told me that since there are no other symptoms that I should just treat her fever at home. She said that there is no need to see her. The problem I have with that is the fact that when she has a sore throat or ear infection her fever doesn't respond to over the counter meds and we end up in the ER with a fever of 103 or higher. There are several walkin clinics in town that I am able to take her to. My question is.....If she was your daughter what would you do?

As many details as possible please, from the time you wake up, till the time you pass out lol.
I have a 3yo & since he was born, I can never seem to get it together as far as housework, paying bills, etc. Im constantly running in circles trying to keep up.
I have come to terms w/ the fact that my house will be messy for the next few years- that an immaculate house is not going to happen as my child needs me more then I need an immaculate house. STILL, I have piles of clutter growing everywhere, and the thought of "company" makes me nervous.
Im home during the day, and work evenings while hubby is home w/our child. The time Im home during the day & weekends is time spent w/ our son/family time.
I've tried staying up late into the night to clean house (when child's asleep), but am just too draggy to keep up the next day. I've tried sticking him in front of the TV while I clean, but thats not right. We want another baby, but I am anxious over not being able to keep up as it is.

He will use a sippy cup sometimes. He chokes with most sippy cups because they are too fast. I put very little milk in his bottles because I don't want his teeth to rot. Can just water in the bottle hurt his teeth?? Thanks.

I've been home with my son for 1.5 years. He's been in pre-school 3 days/ week for this past school year and did great. He's an only child and he's the light of my life.

I had a nice career before him and for the first couple years of his life.

And I've missed working so much that I kinda feel like I've lost my self.

I love my son so much, but I am getting more and more depressed. I know MOM is the most important job, but I still feel "not very valuable."

So...I went looking for the perfect job and I found it! And it's close to home and they KNOW how important my son is. I asked for and was given the hours of 9-4. So outside of nap time, my son is only in "school" for approx. 6 hours a day.

I think school is great for him as an only child, and he does start kindergarten this year.

I want to work, but I have so much anxiety about him going to "school" 5 days a week, especially when he says he wants me to stay home with him.

Help me feel better????

I‘m having a very hard time getting my five year old son to learn to write his name.(Nathan) I have tried everything and I’m really at a loss. He will be starting kindergarten in August and he has to know this before he can go also he has to learn to write his numbers 1-10. He is extremely good at counting he can count to 60 but I can’t get him to write a one. He switches back and forth between what hand he wants to use. One day it may be his left hand the next day the right hand. He is hyper and does not like to sit long. I’m just worried that when he and his twin sister go for testing that he will not be able to attend this year and his sister will be. Any help I would appreciate. Thank You

I have tried EVERYTHING. He can hold it, there is no doubt about that, I just can't get him to release himself while sitting on the potty. Yesterday he didn't pee from 9:30 am until 6:30 pm. I am afraid this could be harmful. I think he believes you aren't suppose to go at all. I have TRIED to reasure him that it is OK to go on the potty, but not in his pants. I am at a loss. I have tried bribbing, getting a gold fish, star charts, etc. I even had my 8 year old nephew come over and show him what to do. I know he is capable, just afraid. He is suppose to start pre-school in august but can't if he isn't potty trained.
