Toddler & Preschooler - June 2007

We aren't catholic but I've started looking for a pre k program for our son. I was just wondering if anyone has had a good experience with Catholic schools. They are a little more expensive and we have fairly good public schools around here so I'm not sure if it's worth sending him there as opposed to another area preschool. It would make him easier to get him into elementary school at the same place but we aren't planning on staying here more than another 3 years tops while I'm finishing college. The finances arent a huge issue because tuition isnt totally unreasonable. I'm just looking for some pros and cons of sending non catholic (african american and baptist) child to catholic school. My son also is treated for speech delays so he would qualify to attend headstart as an alternative as well.

My daughter will NOT pick up toys. She is in her room crying now, with a pile of blocks next to the basket in which they belong, refusing to put them in. I've promised to read a book and I've promised a popsicle when she finishes. Instead she keeps crying pitifully and coming out of her room...until I shoo her back in with instructions again to pick up the blocks. It is always a major ordeal getting her to pick up anything! I always give her small, specific tasks but she will cry and moan for up to an hour before she finally breaks down and does it. Her poor sister is so good about picking up...they share a room, and my older daughter and I will clean up everything in the time it takes her to put away just the blocks...or dolls... or kitchen toys...etc. What can I do to teach her better picking up skills? If I make it a game and do it with her, will she learn to be dependent on someone always helping instead of her working independently? She's 3 1/2 and I know she's old enough

my neighbor's 3 yr old son has been potty trained for some time now, yet rather than use the toilet he just pees where he stands. it could in the house or in the driveway. On at least one occasion he has pooped on the kitchen floor. More recently, my husband & I were at their house having dinner on the patio & our 5 yr old son was using their bathroom and a couple of minutes later their son came out with no pants on. Her husband came out from the kitchen to tell us that the 3 yr old just peed on the kithchen floor. My neighbor then went on to say that the reason he peed on the floor is because our son was using the bathroom. Basically every time he has an "accident", she has an excuse for him.

I was in the store with my "3 year old" daughter, and she looked at another little girl and said "oooohhhh my gosh!!". I asked her "What is it?" She said "She is FAT". I felt so bad, and to be honest, I was speechless!. I told her that was not very nice and big girls don't say things like that!! My question is: Where do little kids pick up comments like this? And how can I prevent her from saying things like this again?

here the whether is very hot it is about 37 degrees in day.when i go to bed i always take a bath.since past two days i'am also taking my two year old son with me for the bath before retiring to bed.two days back i went to market with him and we were out in sun for say 5-6 hrs. and in this time we were in and out of A.C. many times.
now my kid is suffering from cold and cough.my father in law says that it is because i bathe him at night.i feel it is because he went to market on a hot day and exposure to extreme conditions has caused the cold.
just want to know what could have caused the cold so i can take precautions in future.

my son is 5 and our neighbor has a 5 yr old girl. They are best friends. They have played house, and been married-- all innocent fun. Today, I found them in his closet. She was on her stomach, with her pants and undies pulled down. He was on top of her, with his pants still on. This is the 2nd time I have found her naked in his room.
Both times, I firmly told her to put on her clothes and brought both of them in the living room. I did not get mad, but told them that we don't play naked. Naked is for the bathroom, or in the bedroom alone. Also, that their bodies are special and no one touches their bodies (except mommy) if there is a boo boo.
The first time, while a little speechless, I wasn't overly surprised. This is the second time I have found HER with no clothes. Should I be concerned that 'something' is happening to her?? I did tell her parents, but if something is happening to her I don't know what to do to protect her.

For instance, if I ask him what did he have for lunch or what did he do at school he just won't say anything or he'll just start talking about something that has nothing to do with what I asked!!

My daughter is 2 1/2 and I am so sick of diapers. I have tried everything I could think of to potty train her. But she will sit on the potty for forever then go poop in the corner. And she doesnt mind peeing all over herself and pooping all over herself. She likes to sit on the potty but when she actually has to go she goes in the corner. And she knows what it is for. She will tell you it is for poop and pee. But why wont she go in it? Sometimes she will pee in it but not a lot. And she hates diapers and will not keep them on.
I let her pick out her big girl underwear and she likes them but not enough to not pee or poop on them.

My son only wants milk bottles, bread, cereal, rice, yogurt, or sweets(chips, cookies, candy). He won't eat ANY fruits, vegetables, or meats. When he was an infant, he ate all of those jarred foods- every single flavor. Now I plead with and beg him to eat with no results. I have tried so many things- really creative things. Nada.
I am really upset.
He isn't even taking formula anymore- just regular milk.
I mean, you'd think he was a cow! All he wants is milk and grains....
not even juice.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!

I am looking for a group for my toddler. I want to have him socialize with other toddlers, and I would like to be able to associate with other parents. It doesn't have to be every week or for a long period of time. But an hour or so once every few weeks. Does anyone know of anything like this, or would anyone be interested?

My son, who is now 2 1/2 has a poop issue. For the longest time he has not wanted to change his diper after pooping. I would ask if he pooped and he would tell me "no" everytime. In the last few weeks as we have begun the potty training talk he now tells us when he poops and immediately takes off his diaper. I have been looking at this as a good sign that he is coming around to the potty in the toilet attitude. Unfortunately he has developed a habit of playing with it. Even though we (him and I) have talked about the yuckiness of the poop he still plays with it. Twice now he has ended up covered head to toe and covered carpet, blankets and toys with it. What can I do to end this nastiness??

My son is 19 months old. I realize he may be whining in some cases because he is trying to communicate and is getting frustrated by that. But there are times when it seem's like he is just trying to push our buttons. For instance, he will whine and point at a toy, we give him the toy. He then drops it and whines pointing to another toy. When he has all the toys, he just starts whining for no reason. Is there a way to discourage this behaviour?

I'm someone who's a clutterer, and I've noticed that not many people have heard about it. Maybe my question should be, "How prevalent is knowledge about the speech disorder of cluttering?"

It sounds a little like stuttering, but it sounds more like word confusion, nervous speech, or repeating the initial part of the sentence over and over again. Sometimes kids do this naturally until about five and then the children outgrow speaking like this.

Maybe people know it by different names than cluttered speech, like maybe they're calling it stuttered speech or something else.

I'm wondering what percentage of people out there know about cluttering in any way.
