My daughter will eat curry rice, even if I hide just about anything in it. She will only eat corn if it is popped. Anyone have any other great suggestions?

PLease only answer if you have expirience with autistic children. I have twin girls who will be 3 Feb 08. One of the girls has had a few febrile seizures - she has a slight speech issue as well as delayed learning on certain things not everything.
She just started walking on her toes and dragging her head on the floor - this started THIS week. She is a wild child and insists on being the center of attention - she is loving and plays OK with others most of the time. I run a daycare so she does get tired of others - but who wouldn't. Do you think she is slightly autistic because of the speech delay, tippy toes thing and the dragging her head ( what ever that is all about)? I read that autistic children do not show affection - but she does. And she plays with lots of toys which I also read they do not do. She can be very defient and very good all in the same day. Kind of like Dr jekel / Mr Hyde type thing. What do you think?

My son is 17 months old. He has the worst temper I've ever seen a child have. He screams whenever he doesn't get his way. I put him in time-out, and he continues to scream, for hours, sometimes. Whenever he's getting into something he shouldn't, I tell him no, and he just looks at me and continues about what he's getting into. He yells, he hits, he kicks, he throws things. I've tried swatting his rear, I've tried yelling, I've tried timeouts, I've tried ignoring him, I've tried being nice, and frankly, I haven't the faintest idea what to do anymore. I'm going nuts. A friend of mine told me I should have his hearing checked to see if somethings wrong with his ears because of the screaming. But what about everything else? Someone help me!

Emma babysits for Jill, a single mom who goes out by herself. When Jill gets home, I'm expected to dash over to pick up Emma since Jill doesn't want to leave her son alone. My daughter enjoys the job and the money is good -- but I don't want to have to wait up to act as chauffeur. Any suggestions?

Am i being alittle too over protected with my newborn son??
I dont like the way she raises her children and I hate when my hubby ask for my son to spend a day or night with her. He gets affended when i disagree as he thinks she is fine (they are close brother and sister)
She always gets smart when i remind her things or ask about my son. For example, my son takes two medications twice daily for a heart condition. This medicine will keep him alive until he has his surgery at 4 months old. I texted her or call her to remind her that its time for his meds and she snaps stating "i know when he gets his meds, i dont need a da*n reminder". What is so wrong with reminding someone. She swearly states how she raised 3 kids and I dont need to keep telling her things but I feel its my son and If i have something I need to say or remind I will.
I would rather remind someone to give my son his meds then let someone accidently forget.
Am I being over protected with not wanting her to take him?

My daughter is 15 months old. Latley when we tell her no, she will laugh/smile, and do it again, like she thinks its a game. I have tried redirecting her, sitting her down, swatting her hand, "spanking" her butt, but then I feel bad afterwards. I know that I'm not hitting her hard enough to hurt her physically, but I don't like thinking that I hurt her feelings either. My biggest fear is having one of those childeren you see in the stores that are out of control and the parents have no control over them. Is this just part of her age? Do most 15 month olds act out like this? Any ideas, tips, oppinions would be greatly appriciated! Thanks

My step daughter has been causing problems before and after I came into her mother's life. We've tried everything we can do to work with her, but she still refuses to accept responsiblities for her actions and doesn't recognize her and other peoples boundaries.

Her father isn't helping at all. When we tried to assign her a task like taking out the trash everyday, her father says that isn't her job in our household. Tonight she tried to manipulate her mother in getting her nails done. She stated earlier that she wasn't going to spend Christmas with her mother just to hurt her feelings is she couldn't get her nails done tonight.

This child is out of control & continues to push my boundaries by making unpleasant remarks to me when her mother isn't present just to get on my bad side. I do not wish to leave my wife since we have a daughter together.

My wife suggested putting her in a home for trouble kids. Is this possible & will there be expenses involved with it?

My 3 year old daughter is soooo smart! She knows EVERYTHING! The problem is that she has a lot of problem pronouncing her words. You really have to listen to understand what she is saying. I on the other hand get exactly what she's saying 98% of the time. But thats cause I am a stay at home mom and am with her ALL DAY EVERY DAY. She pronounces a lot of things wrong. Like "Daddy" is "Aggy", Dora is "Gora", Fish is "bish" and the list goes on and on. Almost every word is mispronounced. And when you try to correct her she just crosses her arms and refuses to talk. LOL She's hardheaded like her DADDY! Also, she can't draw, like circles, or a straight line. She does however, do zigzags across a paper. In straight rows all the way down an entire sheet, as if she is writing. She can't peddle a bike forward, only backwards. But when you try to help her on any of this she gets mad and doesn't want to do it anymore. Has anybody else had this problem? Is she learning at a normal rate?

My daughter who just turned 3 last week is still not potty trained. She doesn't seem motivated to go. I have tried rewards. I have tried punishment. I have tried bribes. Should I be worried? Should I try pushing it on her? I havent wanted to because I have a new baby and I wonder if he may be the reason she doesn't want to go.

I am living overseas and don't have any family to visit. We don't stay at hotels but instead take road trips. I am sure we will eventually stay at a hotel someday though. Our kitchen and living room are on the opposite sides of the house with the baby room in the middle. I have 2 cats that would probably try to sit in it and scratch at it. My one cat has the ability to open the doors to almost every room so keeping him out will not be easy. I don't plan on leaving the child unattended. I don't spend my afternoon watching t.v. and spend it cleaning. I move from room to room... If you don't think a travel cot is a good idea any other suggestions would be appreciated.. Thanks

My son is 14 months old.

What do you do with your kids while you're cooking dinner? With my son, I can't really come up with the perfect thing to keep him occupied. He is really hungry when he gets home from daycare, so most times I feed him (or give him food to feed himself) while I'm cooking which works really well. But then when dinner is ready he is done eating and wants to go play while daddy and I are eating. Also, this isn't good because I want him to learn to eat dinner with us as a family.

I am a new mom, so please don't say mean things about me not being able to do 2 things at once... I'm just looking for some suggestions. He is kind of at the age where if he is playing, he wants me to play with him...

Thanks for your ideas!

PS - :) I know its funny... what in the world will I do when I have more kids!?!
