Toddler & Preschooler - September 2007

some people say because they eat too much sweets & candy, but my lil brother is always hyper & can't stop screaming & yelling even if he doesn't eat candy. can anyone offer any scientific explaination as to why kids have such nature?

My oldest son Jonah (3) always throw fits while my youngest Noah (10 months) is real mellow. I try to take them for walks, but out of the blue my son Jonah throw's fits about going. Noah loves the walks. I put my oldest in time out, but then I can't take Noah on the walk. I've tryed later but he does it all over again. I have no one to watch Jonah so Noah don't feel like he's punished. So now I'm woundering how I punish Jonah ( while he is screaming and kicking) and not make Noah feel he is in trouble too. He is too young to understand.

He sometimes has a nap (30/60mins) in the afternoon but not often and he usually goes to bed between 8pm & 9pm, getting up around 6/6.30am. Some friends say this is far too late for a young child to go to bed and he shouldn't be getting up til about 7/7.30pm???
I thought I was doing alright with him in this routine!

When my stepson gets excited, he will sit down and moves his hands and feet in circles, or if he is playing by himself he will do it as well.

My son just turned 2 last week and when he wakes up in the morning he always has no diaper on, and he fights with me when I have to put a clean one on him. Is this a sign that he's ready for a potty chair? I also have 2 other children, but they never pulled off their diapers so this is diaper pulling off thing is all new to me.

The past 2 weeks he's been breaking stuff like crazy!!! The doors off a solid wood coffee table, the bedroom door, the roof of a barbie house, barbie heads, cutting his clothes and toys..... He's normally really shy, quiet & very good natured. He's been in public school for only 1 week part time. (I homeschool part time.) And his dad has been working LOTS of hours overnight. Could these things be causing him to act like this? He's also been meaner to his sister & not playing with her as much (nothing major) and sassing back to me a little bit. I feel like I'm about to lose my mind!!! He was learning so many things this year (reading, writting, ridding his bike w/o training wheels, swimming, flag football & made many new friends...) and things were going so good!! Why the attitude & destructive behavior?

My friend son is 5 years old he still wears a diaper nothing is wrong with kid. my friend is just a lazy poor exuse for a farther. (I THINK THE KID DOES IT ON SPITE)The kid mother is out of the picture. He tryed to send his son in school wearing a diaper. The school obviously won't take him. He is under the impression it is the school responsibility to take him they cant rufuse a child's education. I never heard of any teacher thats going to change a 5 year old? wouldnt social services get involved? Even if the kid got into school wearing a diaper wouldnt the other kids make fun of him if not potty trained?

1. Sit infront of the tv with him on your lap until he falls asleep.
2. a ride in the car.
3. Put him in his stroller and walk around the neighborhood.

I ask this because today my mother in law asked me if my daughter (she's 16 months old) was gonna take a nap and I said I was either gonna take her for a ride in the car or a stroll around the neighborhood to get her to take her nap.
My MIL said I was "spoiling her"...
She'd much rather sit infront of the tv with the baby on her lap until she falls asleep...
I don't get it...

Which is best?

((Note: my baby will go to sleep by herself at night, but for some reason whe won't take her nap unless I use one of take her for a walk, a ride in the car or if my MIL puts her on her lap and watch tv))

My son goes to a county licensed in home daycare provider he has been going there for over a year now. Lately I been a little concerned about her care of him however he seemed very happy there ect. Well on Friday I went to pick him up and the lady was waiting outside. She was like I have something bad to tell you we were playing a game trying to get one of the other kids 2 eat. hitting kids on the backside with spoons. She claims it was a game and she didn't realize how heavy handed she is and didn't mean to hurt my son. But he got 3-5 bruises on his backside from this apparent "GAME" what would you do? My mom, and 2 of my aunts, & brother is very upset about it and wants him out, my dad is like well she told you so just take him back Monday like nothing happened.

Headstart is for lower income people. The only reason we got our son in was because my husband was in Iraq last year and most of his income was not taxable. They go by your taxable income. I like the headstart because it is so close to our house. I drive a nice car and dress my kids in nice clothes for school. (casual, jeans, tshirt, etc.) But my son came home yesterday and said a boy named Tanner said "your mommy is spoiled and so are you". I don't think kids think that way on their own, I believe he has heard his mommy say that. Should I say anything or just let it go? I thought I was doing the right thing by getting my son new school clothes. Was I wrong? My son is a very kind person. He is never mean to anyone, and gets along with others well. Why should he be made fun of because he has nice things? We don't flaunt anything. It's not like we are rich.

I started potty training her when she was 2 1/2, and it was almost a battle at first. She showed all the signs of being ready, and about 3 months later she seemed to get it and was doing great! We did the stickers, gave her books to read, and even resorted to candy at times. It got to the point where she would either tell us she had to go potty or got up herself and ran into the bathroom.

Recently (past week or so) she had totally regressed and I find her wet a few times a day. She is perfectly potty trained at day care, but once the weekend hits and she's at home, she pees (and even pooped) in her underwear. I am at my wits end! I hate to put her in Pull-ups or back in diapers again, but I am so frustrated. She will be 3 later this week. What am I doing wrong??

Are these any good for my baby? Are they healthy? And will they cause any problems for my babies eating habits in later life? Also any suggestions for baby meals i can make for him?

My son is 16 months and I feel that he is not doing everything he should. I know that boys take longer on somethings. I Have ADHD and I think that he might end up having it also. He is hyper all the time. He can't concentrate on just one thing. I know babies wonder about everything but he has a very short attention span. I give him a toy (which he don't even like toys like pot's pans, shoes, papers, etc) and he can't even keep focused for like a few seconds. I try to read to him but he won't let me I can't even get threw a Sentance without him wanting to get down. He only says a few words. Mama, dada, Josh, Yes, No, Bye bye. He tried to say others but can't get them. They say at his age you should start to learn where your nose is or ears. He won't learn that. I just feel as if he is behind in his age. Is there any idea's anyone has that can help me? I read today while he ate in his highchair. That seem to work think cause he actually had nowhere to go.lol But if anyone could help plz

My daughter is 3...in the UK that means that she starts nursery school in Jan. and full time school in September 08. We may travel to Australia when she's 5 or 6 and stay for a year or two and I may homeschool her while we are there and then re-enrol her at her own school when we return to the UK. My question is, do you think this is a good idea? I thought that homeschooling would be less disruptive than a new school and new kids...she would be returning to the same place she left in the uK and the same kids.Do your kids enjoy homeschooling? Have they got a lot out of it? What are the disadvantages? Thanks everyone!

My husband has a friend that he hasn't seen in five years. The friend has moved away. My husband used to be neighbors to him while growing up. The friend's father passed away the other day. My husbands family is going to the funeral. I have never met the friend or his father. We have been married for two years and have an 12 month old son. Is it inappropriate for us to go as a family? Should I go? Can we take our son? He is usually on good behavior and of coarse I would leave with him if he wasn't....What do you think?
