My daughter is 21 months old. I am really trying to keep the food with sugar to a minimum. Right now some of her snacks are Fruit cups in light syrup, sugar free jello or pudding, dried fruit, and crackers. She really eats well at meal time. She loves veggies like green beans, carrots, peas, tomatoes, and brocolli. I just wish I had other snack time things that seem better for her. Please give me some Ideas for healthy snacks

I am a teacher and am amazed truly by the number of kids who are being lumped into "ADD/ADHD" ,"learning delayed", "auditory processing delay", "autism", and others as an excuse... (not saying all are this way) In my day of childhood, we would have just acknowledged that some kids need to play more than others.. or are "a little different" - I wonder if we are trying to get all kids to fit the same mold and if they don't, we slap a label on their head and tell them there is something "wrong" with them... what do you think?

Again, I'm not saying all - I've met 1 child in my years of work I really think is add/adhd.. and several children with autism that are obviously autistic.. but what about the others...

Why does my 2 year old cry over everything? The smallest things make her cry and it goes on and on and on.......It's driving me crazy! I keep my cool with her, but deep down I want to scream! Constant whining and crying, over everything! Spilled milk to not getting a toy at the store!! Does anyone have any comforting words? Like, "It's just a phase!" or "It'll be over soon!" Please someone help me with my sanity!

We ignore them, that dosn't work. We give him time-outs, that's not working. One day he listens and is great the next, he's screaming in a store and we remove him and put him in the car and he starts kicking the car windows of his Dad's car. He's hitting too, which is a zero tolerence time-out by the way, but not stoping the hitting. Help parents!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!

My 15 mo old son has EXTREMELY fair skin and every once in awhile he gets these dark circles under his eyes that look vaguely like black eyes. Ihave heard of the term allergic shiners and I am wondering if he could have amild allergy to something. I know we need to do the eliminate one thing at a time process... i get it! I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this.

My son has "hard" stools, they aren't really that hard but to him they are. He is now scared to poop and holds it in with all his might. I have tried giving him more fruit and veggies, put him on lactose free milk and only give him the 16oz a day, i have tried everything I can think of and nothing works. Any ideas?

My 2 1/2 year old daughter has been having diarrhea off and on for about a week now (she has it for two days, then it's gone for a day, then it's back). My kids don't drink juice, just sugar free kool-aid, and they eat about 2 or 3 servings of fruit a day, but I've reduced it down to just a banana a day for now. We just can't seem to kick this- does anyone have any suggestions? She is acting completely fine, energetic and cheerful. I'm taking her to the doc tomorrow if it continues.

My son started walking at 8 months and he hasnt started talking alot yet. He can say about twenty words. And his teeth have just started coming in more. He had 4 when he was 9 months old. My friends children started talking before they were a year old and didnt walk until they were nearly 14 months. I was wondering if it was like this with all children they walk early or talk early. But dont do both at the same time.

I realize my son isnt suppose to be making full sentences yet. And I dont think anything is wrong with him. My husbands uncle didnt start talking until he was 3 and he is one of the smartest men I know.

She just stips off anywhere and pull her nappy off sometimes she goes on the potty which is pretty cool cos her 2 year old sister still refuses to go on the potty.

Does she have some kind of dormant flasher gene or is there a solution?

hello. please help me.
my baby just turned 9 month old a few days ago.
all along he has been breastfed, he had some formula when he was like a month to 2 months old, after that it was all breast milk. He started to eat some solids now, like 3 meals a day. So i stopped breastfeeding him three days ago, and he just wont drink formula. Is that ok? some people advice me to stop giving him the solids (mashed stuff), and let him starve for some time, and he will eventually drink formula. Is this true? help me !!

My three year old daughter has been potty trained and doing fine for over 6 months now. For several weeks she's been picking her underwear saying that it "sticks." We bought her bigger sized which didn't work. They're all 100% cotton; have cotton seems, no tags. I ask her where it sticks and basically it's touching her skin. We thought it was an attention getter; she nervously looks over at me before she does it sometimes. So we've stopped telling her not to pick her underwear. Lately I've been watching - what's seemingly a nervous habit? - and she picks her underwear every 5-10 seconds. Sometimes less often, but it's getting worse. I've tried shorts too; and she picks those less often, but still does it. Help! Anyone else have this issue?

I went to the Dr. for my sons 18 month check up and the Dr. said that he is a little behind on verbal skills. The only word my son really says is Dad & he understands who it is, which is very frustrating because I'm a stay at home mom & you would think his first word would be mama since I'm with him most of the time. The Dr. suggested I read more to him. I think I've read almost every book to him & he loves it, but still does not talk. He is now 20 months & still refuses to talk. He understands when I tell him simple things like time for bed, do you want a drink?, or just basic things, but he will never say anything. He looks like he understands it's just he refuses to try to speak. Has anyone else had this problem or is there something I'm doing wrong?
