We have a two year old daughter who falls asleep no problem at around 7 o'clock but not in her own bed. When we try to lift her into bed she wakens then gets hysterical to a point where she is physically sick. Then she is awake until we take her to our bed where she can sleep soundly for the whole night. Any advice?

Recently, my 14 month old decided she wasn't going to drink her milk anymore. She used to LOVE her milk but now I can barely get her to drink a cup a day. I'm afraid she isn't getting enough calcium throughout the day because she also won't eat a lot of calcium rich foods like cheese or yogurt. I was thinking of adding chocolate or strawberry flavoring to the milk but does this destroy the nutrients? Any suggestions how to get her to drink milk again?

I don't have any close friends with children and so I really don't know any parents with children. I talk to about three parent's at my child's playgroup but we're not really close, so I would feel kind of uncomfortable inviting them to my child's party, my family would be there as well.

I was thinking maybe I could invite some neighborhood children to my daughter's third birthday party, and have pizza and entertainment for the kids.

Or I was thinking of forming a stronger frienship with other parents so that they would feel comfortable coming to my child' party.

What should I do?

I am taking him to the county fair on Sun and it will be hard to keep a hold of him. Would you use a stroller or get a wrist leash? I don't know if the are called leashes or not, but I don't like the harnesses if at all possible. What is your opinion. I just want to keep him safe.

My 3 yr old daughter has gotten used to wearing sandles and "crocs" all summer. Now that preschool has started (where she has gym) she refuses to put gym shoes on. When I say refuses, I mean screams bloody murder, cries, begs, pleads, runs, hides under the bed, resists...one time I finally just pinned her down and put them on and she just kicked em right off. I've asked her why she doesn't want to wear them but she just screams "No!" or "I want my sandle shoes!" I've even offered ice cream (one of her favorite rare treats) and she passed it up. This has been going on for a month now...the cold weather is just around the corner and she can't very well wear sandles in the snow! Has anyone else ever had this problem? Why do you think she hates gym shoes sooooo much? Keep in mind that she's normally very cooperative and that this is the ONLY thing that causes such hysterics. It's like holy water to Damien! Thanks!

she is always twirling it and it gets knotted up in the same place like 2 or 3 times a day. so i have to sit there and untangle it and she is fighting me the whole time and of course her hair is getting ripped in the knot. geez, this child! anybody know how i can get her to stop? you would think the time it takes me to untangle it would be discipline enough. she is almost 2 and a half.

Its a friend of mines son. He just says a few words like dada or mama but thats it. I know all kids are different but when my daughter was his age she was saying phrases.

We are buying a house and really want to get a counter height table for our dining area...but are concerned about our one year old falling off of the higher chairs when she is old enough to come out of the high chair and sit in the chair without a booster seat.

Does anyone have a tall table and chairs, and how do your kids do in them? Our daughter is very squirmy and I don't think it is going to change any time soon!

He will use his potty chair and is fully continent of both bowel and bladder but he won't use the big potty. We bought a couple of different kinds of seats to use on it but he screams if we try to sit him on it. He will pee it in the big potty though.

My son has been attending nursery for 2 years. He moved in to a new room couple of months ago and his behaviour has completely changed. He has odd tantrum at home esp if tired, but at the nursery he is a different child- biting , pinching, smacking the other children and staff. Hes spitting at the manager, Ive never seen him spit. The nursery suggested I get health visitor to watch him there. She came to see him at home first and said he was a delightful child, she couldnt see any behavioural problems in him and said there was no point her visiting him at the nursery, it was the nursery that's the problem. i do have reservations about the nursery, they are usually made to watch tv or left to do "free play" they rarely go outdoors and dont have a routine. staff too are quite young and dont look happy to be there. When I take him kids play areas he is fine with the other kids. The nursery are now calling me at work demanding i pick him up as they cant cope! Any advice?

So, i started putting a humidifer in my 2 year old’s bedroom at night and was wondering if it is ok to close his door? I put it on a medium "output". I only ask, because he is used to sleeping with the door close and hubby is sooooooooo loud when he gets up during the night or for the morning.

Amazingly at 21 months old my son could recite his ABC's, recognize them on paper, and was able to write 2-3 letters on his own. Also he was able count to 40. Now at 24m he seems bored with learning in general. How do I stimulate him?

I still nurse her, only at night to get her to fall asleep. I really want to stop because it's not comfortable for me, honestly it hurts. And not only that but my husband is really getting on me to stop because he wants my breasts back, he keeps saying I gave them up for a whole year and you were supposed to quit after she turned one....well anyway, I know it's my body and whatever, but I just wants some advice preferably from someone who has gone through a similar situation. She just won't quit, she tugs at my shirt and screams uncontrolably until I nurse her at night. HELP!!!!!

My son is two and a half years old and he has started to figure out the potty thing. He is starting to take his diaper off and sit on the potty and actually use it. So I went and bought him some underwear so that he can be a big boy but he refuses to wear them. He only wants to wear the diapers he is still using the potty but wants to be in the diapers. So I am wondering if anyone has any advice on what to do, To get him to wear the underwear or should I just let him wear the diapers and no I have not tried pull ups just regular diapers.

I already took him to the doc and she says that he has a little virus that is going around and I just have to let it run its course... Do you know of any old wives tales or anything natural that will help with his sore throat? I've only been giving him the infant Tylonol for the fever but that isn't helping his throat or cough. Oh and I'm using the humidifier.. Any suggestions?
