Toddler & Preschooler - November 2007

No one smoke here and we haven't been around any smokers. I noticed it when I was putting his pyjamas on tonight. There are 3 about 2 inches apart. They are about 1 cm wide, with a scabby edge, but the centre isn't scabby.
He has only been around us this week and no-one else has any. My nieces did come over earlier in the week, but I never saw any on them.

Any ideas????

He is going to the doctor tomorrow, but I just wanted to know if anyone knows what they are

Our 1 year old son is clearly approaching 'toddlerhood' he has gone from being a smiley little baby to a very determined and sometimes quite cross little boy! He has started to scream and throw himself onto the floor each time we tell him not to do something or take him away from something he wants to do (climbing the stairs, going in the cupboards etc!) He will throw his head back onto the floor, which is so dangerous and we have to catch him so he doesnt hurt himself. and he will scream and cry until he has completely worked himself (and us) up.... i hate to see him crying like this, but i have been told to ignore it completely, even if i take him in my arms, he still screams... he also makes a very high pitched screaming noise if he gets stuck with his trolley walker, or if he can't get into something he wants to... it is driving us a bit mad! I have childproofed the house as much as possible to avoid these confrontations, but would really appreciate advice on how to deal with this!

i have a boy who is two and until 3 days ago he used to love being cuddled and I give him warm bottle of milk once he wakes up and before he sleeps. It was a nice time for both of us but I thought it is time to drink alone from a cup like he does with all fluids. This is day 3 and until now he refuses to even try it out not a single sip of milk. I tried in dfrnt cups but no hope. Is there really harm from keeping him on bottle for longer or he is to old and it can develop into bad habit. Need advice.

Does anyone else have kids who are above their average height level?
My son is two but most people confuse him to be a minimum of three, and then they get worried about his development lol.
Does anyone else get stuff like this?
(I'm not ranting, it doesn't bother me, because I quickly explain that he's just very tall for his age, but I do think it's funny).

He talks back, throws temper tantrums, never does what he is told, and is just down right defiant. He doesn't hit or bite but he is really defiant. Spankings don't work, he'll just scream that "he isn't your friend anymore' and "I love my nanny more than you, you're mean" The corner didn't work, he talks throughout the entire time and when I tell him to hush he says but I'm trying to tell you something!! And he will repeat this until he gets to say what he wants to. I need something that is REALLY going to work!!

my son is 2 and a half in december and he still has not got any of his four eye teeth (canine teeth), he has the front four teeth on the top and bottom, and all four first molars, he is at the age to expect his four second molars very shortly so hopefully they come through.
but no eye teeth,

we have an appointment with the dentist next week and i want them to do a mouth xray just to make sure that they are there.

have any other mothers experienced this same thing?
if so what age did they finally come through?

My son is 1 1/2 years (19 months) and he has started potty training. He started showing signs that he wanted to use the potty, he would tell me when is was "stinky", and then he takes off his diaper whenever he pees. So, I got out the potty chair. He pooped in it the first time! Then he didn't want the potty chair anymore, he wanted the "big potty". So, I got a seat insert. He has been doing this about 2 weeks now. He is getting very good. Of course he still uses his diapers more, but it still wows me. We have even made up a potty song for him which he loves to dance to...

Has anyone else experienced potty training at such an early age? defenetly with boys?

I would consider my son very advanced for his age though...he can say sentences, etc.

Our three year old has been using pullups since she grew out of nappies. For a while she was waking up dry but now she is always peeing in them during the night and I have caught her peeing in them while sitting in front of the TV rather than getting up to go to the toilet! We went cold turkey for a while with no pullups but she wet the bed once sometimes twice in the night. After a week we put the pullups back on. How can we help her stop wetting the bed?

The kids are 3 and 5 years old, and they're sooo cute. But they never know what to do, and I never have suggestions for what to do. But then finally they both want to play different games and they're making me play those games with them. I'm only one person, I can't play two games at once! Are there any games for them that we could play altogether, not individually?

My son is 2 and he is a very flexible child when it comes to changes. he has no trouble sleeping when we travel, even if we are gone for a week. But recently we decided to move to a new home, about 8 miles from where we are now. It is a semi-permenent change while we save for a new home. He will have his own room as he always has and he is somewhat familiar with the area. however being that this is going to be alot longer than a week, how can I help him cope? His grandma babysits him while I work and still want to do so. She lives where we are moving from. so i hope this will help. have you moved with a young child? how did you help then cope? we are moving in about 3 weeks. and he will also be sleeping in a new bed. and we are living on main street in town rather than on a back road in a rural town like we always have.

My son is 20 months old and was moved to a different bedroom almost a year ago. We were in his bedroom and I corrected him in alow tone of voice (not my normal tone) and he suddenly looked over my shoulder into the hall with a scared look on his face. I actually thought someone came into the hall behind us and even called out for my husband. I realized he was looking at the ceiling light fixture outside his bedroom door. He had a look of fear on his face and continued to be afraid even as I tried to distract him. He had the same type of reaction the other day in a different part of the house. I was scoldinghim in a lower tone of voice then my own when he looked right past me and got a look of fear on his face. He was very scared even though I tried to reassure him things were okay. He continued to be afraid for over 45 minutes even though we had moved out of sight of that area. He continued to look that way and be afraid. He ended falling asleep. What should I do????

I have a soon to be 4 year old and he saw a toy gun at the toy store. He liked it and asked me to buy it for him. At first I was skeptical about the whole gun issue but then I realized as long as he knows the difference between real and make believe, why not? I got it for him and it shoots darts so he and my younger brother pretend and play w/ it. I was surprise one time when we went to a friends house whose husband is a cop. The officer had laid out his belt in the kitchen table and my son saw the gun. He said we can't play w/ that one mami that one is real. To me he undestands the difference. What's your take on this?

He chokes on lumps in stage 3 foods & sometimes throws up all his lunch if he accidently swallows a small piece. I have tried cheerios, broken cookies & tiny cubes of soft cheese. He justs chews & spits out the cheerios & the cookies on his own table. But he is very curious and wants to try out whatever there is on the another kids' tables at his daycare or on the floor. :-(
