Ok well here's the deal. My friend and I want to start a baysitting service and we are both 12 years old. My mom and her's will not let us until we take a special CPR class in case something happens to the child. But the only problem is that i don't know where to take those classes?? Any idea??

My son will be 2 in December and he still only says a few words....he mostly grunts and whines his way to getting his point across....I understand what he wants but he doesnt talk...I am really worried! He does other stuff well tho....Just doesnt talk! What could the cause be? Should I wait until his 2 yr check up or call and make an appt for him to see the doctor about this this week?
Thanks!

I have a 4 year-old son who I feel I have lost total control of. When he's happy, he's sweet and full of love. When he listens, he is very proud of himself for listening. But when he is mad, he is mean and hurtful and physical. He will blatantly ignore his father and i and when we follow through with a consequence, he laughs at us and hits us. I have swatted his butt, which he thinks is funny. I have tried timeouts, everything i can think of... I try and predict what situations will set him off and try to help him make good choices before they happen. He also has two sisters, who pick on him or ask him to play and then sneak away and lock him out and won't play anymore. This if course makes him angry, but then he gets in trouble for hitting them. His actions are wrong, but he has a right to feel upset. His father thinks I am babying him on top of it because i want to help him learn to deal with feelings rather than always punishing. I feel like a failure as a mother. Help

He procrastinates every time I say its time to go up to bed, is there a fun, easy way? Or just have to fight with him on this?

She seems to love it. Maybe due to the fact that I eat a lot of spicy stuff and I'm still nursing her.
Every time we go to a thai or chinese restaurant she would sit there begging for hot food lol.

What should I do?

I think I'm more nervous than my son. We are attempting to run 2 errands this morning for the first time wearing only 'big boy' underpants. I plan on timing this to 45-50 minutes. It's about a 6-7 minutes drive. The 2 stores are next to each other-no browsing-I'll grab what I need and leave. I've already scoped out the bathrooms-in the back of the store!

Any advice or tips? Thanks so much!

If you have kids of course! My 3 year old daughter is watching Backyardigans and galloping round the room on her hobby horse! It's 7.03am.

We've just moved into a mobile home, and its 80 ft long, my daughters bed room is on one end and ours is on the other. She is used to waking up walking to me and getting in our bed... but the way we are layed out in the house now, i dont even think i would hear her wake up...and not to mention thinking of her waking up and trying to maneuver through the house half asleep (shes 20 months old).

So i've decided the best bet would be putting a baby gate in her door way or maybe the end of the hall... and using a baby monitor to hear her....

Which monitors have you had a good experience with with a long distance range? thanks

My daughter has a ton of stuff (three sets of Grandparents that spoil her rotten, three aunts, one uncle, neices, and nephews) and I'm at a loss on what to get as far as little stuff to put into her stocking as I'm boycotting MOST toys this year. If it's made in China, I'm not buying it! As far as other gifts, we're getting her snacks, juice boxes, and mainly clothes. I'm still seeking GOOD education toys not made in China.

My daughter has more crayons, coloring books, books, stickers, jewelry, hair things, children's videos, toddler music CD's, than I know what to do with. She also has a small flashlight, and nightlight. So far I was thinking maybe some fun socks (hard to find for a two year old), Band-Aids with her favorite characters on them, training paste, and a new toothbrush. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

He is 4 years old and can't form words that well. His mother neglects him, and he's not even in school yet. His mother had to put him into a daycare because his mother and father's work scheduale couldn't work around the school's. He's in a daycare, and that's not teaching him anything. He get's frustrated because he wants to talk and express himself, but he cannot. He can't even really say his name properly and he wasn't taught to pay attention or be disiplined. I dislike my aunt for this, it's mainly her fault. He is not autistic or anything. He reacts as a normal child, but he can't speak too much because he wasn't taught to do so. Is there a way that we can help him begin to talk? Will it be alittle hard for him?

I would break her heart! I've tried and she got so mad at me and she stomped upstairs and she started to play a bunch of movies full blast in the home theater, then she started yelling at out peronal chef a bunch of mumble jumble. Is there any way I could adress it to her a diffwerent wayyyy? Please and Thanks!

It is a yellowy colour and smells similar to a period but not as strong.

She doesn't have it all the time but mainly when she first wakes up.

I'm not sure wheter or not to take her to the doctors as she seems fine and isn't itchy.

During a conversation with another mom in my playgroup the other day, this is what she said to me: "Sometimes you're the most overprotective mom I know, you don't even want your son playing in a house with a gun." My son is 4 years old, and I do make a point to ask about guns in the houses we go to play at. I've never refused to play at a house that has a gun in it if it is locked away in a safe, or has a trigger lock (which so far has applied to everyone's house). I feel that I'm just being a proactive protective parent, and I've never considered that this would be overprotective.

So here are my questions:
1. Is this overprotective?
2. Should I be offended?
3. Should I say something to her?

My daughter wasn't constantly held as a baby, but it seems lately these last 3 months all she wants is for me to hold her ...constantly and if i set her down she starts screaming and throwing a fit like if she was hurt. She will cry so hard she stops breathing for a second and then screams again. I am just curious if there are any suggestions on how to get her to play and sit alone on the floor without me having to constantly hold her.
