Toddler & Preschooler - October 2007

He died this morning. I had a fun day after that happened. I went to a park with two of my friends, my mom, and my nephew and we ate lunch from Wendy's at the park. But now, as I sit here with nothing to do on a Sunday night, I can't get my mind off of it. I am so upset and sad. I don't want a new guinea pig. I only had him for a month or so, and he was only about a year old. What went wrong? *sniff*

Whether she's angry or you won't let her get her way?

She kicks her dad, her grandparents, and her aunt. and hits all of them too.

I don't have any kids. But I was wondering what this means and how one can put a stop to this? she's raised by her grandma because the dad is too lazy and the mom is out of the picture and her grandma just yells at her and spanks her. Is that why the two year old hits and kicks others?

My 3 year old daughter has been going to preschool for 4 wks. She goes 2 mornings per week only. My son is 4 & he goes too (another class) We hadn't even planned on putting her in till next year but she really wanted to go. She was excited at first but after the first couple of days she started saying she doesn't want to go. That she misses me & she doesn't like it. I am debating if I should go ahead and take her out till next year or give it a little more time.

She'll be two in late november.

I'm worried that she won't stay in the bed. I think that anytime she wakes up, she'll get out of bed and try to leave her room. She's not a very good sleeper...never has been.

So I am still breast feeding my 18 month old toddler girl who is a bad eater. She tries and likes some table foods but mommy's milk seems to be the best.
I weigh 106lbs at 5'3" now. Is that still ok? Before my pregnancy I used to weigh 128lbs and ever since her delivery I'm constantly losing even though I eat A LOT lol.
My thyroid is ok.

Our 2 year old has his own room. My wife and I are arguing about this....Should he be allowed to put his toys in whatever toy bin he wants to as long as it is in his toy bins ( All the toys mixed up), when we tell him it's time to clean up his room? Or should we the parents, have places for his toys to stay organized? Stuffed animals in this bin, legos in that bin, big cars on the bottom shelf, etc.

My daughter, 4, was very easy to potty-train at 2 years old and always went to the bathroom alone until her baby sister was born 8 months ago. Now she refuses to go unless I accompany her and will even hold it until she is frantic. Is this normal behavior? We never went through a separation anxiety phase. Could this be it?

I just need to know why she always wants to be around me all the time. My house is always full of people doing things that might interest her more, but she still prefers to be around me. Being 9 months pregnant; I feel bad, because I am limited to what I can do with her. Do you think things will change soon?

My baby is 13 months old now and I know the day is going to come when he is going to be more aware of what is going on around him and start asking questions. At what age did you make a conscious decision to cover yourself properly before attending to your baby/toddler?

I've been looking to start babysitting. However, I can't find many good websites that explain things. I am going to be taking a course at the YMCA or something, but I still have a few questions.
How much do you charge? What about when it's at night/ holidays,etc?
What types of games can you play?
How would you disapline them if they acted up?


* a little more info... I'm a teenager, and haven't charged for babysitting before, however I've been babysitting for family for a couple years, and haven't had a problem.

Thanks :)

I am ashamed to say that i am a mother who has recently found it incredibly hard to stop swearing. My son has now copied my most worst used word.

I realise i have to take responsibility for my own language, however i have noticed since i have become a mother, i have replicated many aspects of unwanted behaviour, of which is the same way my parents did to me.

My parents swore, mostlly in anger or frustration, and had a 'fly off the handle' temper. They smacked, sometimes round the head face, other parts of the body. I don't like myself as a parent and had tried not to smack at all...but have now started smacking my little boy at the age of 3.

I am ashamed to be a parent and really don't like myself for it, not to mention feelings of awful guilt. My son is everything to me and i love him dearly.

My husband's Grandma is about to pass away. They live a little over 5 hours away. We have a 15 month old and I don't know what to do. I don't want to be disrespectful and not go to the funeral at all. My son barely made the 3 hour trip to go camping over the summer. Even if I were to go with my husband over to his family, should a 15 month old even go to a funeral? I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving him with anyone over there to watch him...everyone that I do know will be at the funeral. So do I just stay home or still go or what? I feel so bad that his grandma isn't going to be around much longer and I don't want to make things harder on anyone if I don't go. We've been married for about a year and a half now. we've been together for over 4 1/2 years. My son is still nursing from me at night and in the morning and he's teething right now so he wakes up crying a few times a night. My husband is visiting her in the hospital right now.
