Toddler & Preschooler - September 2007

PLEASE-No bashing, as potty training is unique and individual to every child and every parenting situation. I admit I do bribe my son every now and then when I just KNOW he has to go potty, but refuses. My bribe ranges from a food item, to a sticker or a token toy. I know that food should never be used for bribes to get a child to do something, but quite frankly it IS the easiest. Anyone else do the same? BTW, I do NOT bribe my son all the time-no way! Only when he is being extremely stubborn.

My 2 years old daughter can’t speak properly like her same age toddlers, she can pronounce many difficult words, but she have no meaningful words. I have consulted many doctors including speech and language pathologist, psychoanalyst, psychologist, ENT, etc. But no one is seeing any problem to her. She is slightly hyperactive in nature, she use to run from one room to another for a long time but she use to spend a long time also watching colourful books. She use to eat her meals sitting on a chair. She loves listening her favourite songs repeatedly but can’t express any of her feelings or needs verbally or she can’t point things out. The only thing she use to do is crying. She starts crying when she is hungry, she does the same thing when she wants to listen a song once more. This is the situation I’m totally confused about what to do. Please help. Regards…..

My son just turned 2 1/2 and will not use the potty. I bought him a potty chair and he hated it. I went and bought a Sponge Bob (his favorite) seat that goes on the toilet and he hates it too. He will set on it but only with his clothes on. He screams like he is dying= and falls to the floor limp. I have tried everything: praise, rewards, but nothing works. Please help, I am afraid we are going to go from LUVS to Depends. I am all out of answers. Thanks!!

I have started to toilet train my son, and the problem is, he doesn't seem to want to stop what he's doing to go. If I ask him if he needs a wee, he says 'not yet' and then 2 minutes later does it in his pants. It isn't that he cant use the loo - he can do a wee on the toilet fine if he wants to, and when we first started he asked when he needed to. But now it seems he just can't be bothered, it's easier to carry on whatever he's doing and wee where he sits!

I don't know where to go from here - it's no use getting him to clean his pants, he loves cleaning lol. I make a big fuss when he does go on the loo, and I'm trying not to get angry when he doesn't bother. Any tips, please?

Ive been researching toy storage bins online and they're really expensive. My daughter is not quite ready for a toybox yet. Do you think it would work if I just bought some tupperware bins and put them on the shelves of a bookcase? Or do you have another option for toy storage that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

My wife says it's like a salary to the girl who runs the daycare and that if we went to a bigger place they would do the same thing, but if we need an extra day we have to pay MORE? If we arrive early or come late there's extra fees?!!?!?! Is this the same everywhere? I'm really not liking the daycare industry right now. I'm a car dealer and WE are always called into question for our practices - THIS is ridiculous!
