This is where if they go in their pants, you leave them in them all day. A girl I know is doing this and we want to know if anyone has heard of it. She says she has researched it, and I can't find it anywhere on search. Not sure if I spelled it right or not. We also think this could be a form of abuse maybe? We are just trying to find it to see if it is real or her idea of potty training. Please help.

Is it a certain age, or when they walk? My youngest walked at 9 months, but that sure seemed way too early to call her a toddler...

She has problems with frequent ear infections and fluid in her ears. Could that be part of the problem?

I don't want to mess up or make a bad 1st impression on the kid. He is going to be 3 and I've never babysat a kid that young. Any advice would be great. How could I make his parents feel assured that I will take good care of their kid? His parents are bringing him over tonight for me to meet him, and what are some things I can do to get the kid to like me?

I remember doing this as a child and I need a quick before bath time game, that is kind of messy.

I'm open to suggestions because I need one for every day of the week.

DD has recently started throwing outright fits when she doesn't get her way - screaming, throwing herself around, crying, throwing something if its in her hand, etc. This is new for her. How do you deal w/ them?

I would just like someone elses opinion on this matter................

My bf/husband whatever you want to call him insists I do not do anything. I stay at home with our daughter who is 19 months old. I also babysit a 3 and a 8 year old, which I get paid to do. So contributing financially is out of the question. I make enough to pay all the utilities, and for some other extras. I don't get to keep any of what I earn. I cook, clean, run errands, make his phone calls, do his invoices, take care of all maintenance around the house, anything that needs to be done in or around the home I DO. I have dinner cooked and ready when he arrives home, I have to remember where all his things are on top of trying to remember everything else. He doesn't help out with our daughter when he gets home, so I can do something for myself. I haven't had a hot meal in over a year. I am just tired of hearing I don't do anything. How do you deal with this???

When should I start potty training my son he is 20 months old (he will be 2years old October 26)?? My sister-in-law has already started potty training her 17 month old daughter a few months ago( at 14 months she started training her) and I thought that was a little early. I have heard that it is alot harder to potty train boys... Is this true??
When should I start potty training my son and does anybody have any tips on potty training a little boy??... My son is VERY smart! and he tells me when he has "poppies" but I still think he is a little young to be potty trained what do you think??

My three year old mixed race son attended his preschool sports day. The whole staff paid my son little or no attention. We only found out about the sports day THE DAY BEFORE and had no time to prepare or anything.

There was a sack race and my son was plopped into a sack. He had NO IDEA what he was doing and tried to run. Of course he kept falling. His key worker picked him up and ran the course with him, but he was so sad.

Shouldn't the school have practiced first?

I cried, its the first time he'd said it. How did you feel when your kid said love you the first time?

I am a 14 year old girl and I have done everything to find babysitting jobs. I have handed out flyers, put up flyers on bulletin boards, put my number in babysitting directory at church, signed up on babysitting websites...still no calls. I know this day in age people don't trust people to babysit their children, if they don't know you. But you would think I would get at least a couple of calls. What am I doing wrong?

okay first off i am not racist in any way whatsoever..and in no way am i trying to teach my daughter to be

but i need some advice and suggestions......

when my four year old daughter refers to a black person she says "the man with the chocolate face" or "the chocolate girl"
i dont like when she says that cause i know it wrong.....i have tried for about a year to correct her from using this phrase

i have never used this phrase or even heard of this....

but i am worried that if she doesnt correct this than she might run into problems when she starts school again in late august

i have told her not to say that.....i dont want to say "its more polite to say 'the black person' or the 'person of color' " cause i want her to see a person (any person) for what they are ...A PERSON.....

everything i am doing is not really working...she says that she says that cause that is the only way she can differentiate people

any suggestions?

This is my first time travelling with my daughter since she is too big to be a lap child. I understand that I need to use a carseat on the plane, plus I will be renting a car at my destination, so I need a seat anyway. But I will be parking, taking a shuttle, going through security getting on the plane with no help. How can I carry everything I need plus my daughter? Should I buy one of those carseat/strollers? Can anyone recommend one? Or is there a better system? Help!

My daughter has asked me when her son can start drinking cows milk and when can she stop boiling water for drinks.
I believe it is best around a year old, but with each new generation they seem to change the way things are done
,
Any new mum's out there can tell me so I can pass the information on to my daughter.

I have always heard babies wont over eat but what about a 3 1/2 year old? She is just a little chubby but I don't want it to become a problem. She is a variety of healthy foods, including veggies. We rarely eat fast food or sweets and only drinks water milk and one small cup of 100% apple juice per day but she may eat 2 eggs and 2 pcs of toast for breakfast. Or 3 packages of instant oatmeal! (I give her small portions and she asks for more) But, That really seems like alot to me. My 4 1/2 year old son doesnt eat as much as she does. I would never put her on any kind of diet or restict her calories or anything like that.

How would you recommend that I stop him from spitting out what he is drinking? No matter what he has (milk, water, or juice) he will take a sip and leave it in his mouth just so he can spit it out. It doesn't matter whether I am in the the room with him or not. Of course, it's easier to do if I leave. The usual punishments haven't work like time-outs or even spanking. If he does it I will just give him water the next time so at least he won't stain the carpet! It's like no matter how much I talk to him he doesn't understand it's wrong. I will tell him before I give him a cup that he shouldn't spit it out. It doesn't even help when I catch him in the act, either.

my daughter is 8 months old, shes already takin a couple of steps on her own unguided. she's been doing this for about 3 weeks or so. she also walks around things like coffe tables on her own. she also knows how to stand up on her own without holding on to something for support. my question is, is she too young to be doing this much or is she right on time? how old was your kids when they started doing these things?

My 3 years old son have been potty training since Friday. I took his pull up away completely and he does well if I put him on potty every 15 minutes thoughout the day. But if I am busy with my 3 months old daughter he would run and hide and do his business in his underwear and stay hide. He knew what he was doing.
He does wonderful at nap and bedtime without a problem.
He fights with me sometimes but eventually realize he need to go and went in potty. When i ask him if he need go potty he would run and I catch him and put him on potty. Is this battle normal? What can I do to better approach this with him?
