Your dad is right. Just explain to her why you can't get a dog, and maybe some day if you're not renting anymore, you could get one if she still wants one. Make sure to praise her for her good behavior. If she sees that her cousin gets his way by being bad, she might think about doing the same thing.

thats hard. but all you can do is reassure your child that she is a good, kid, and that you would love to reward her behavoire with a puppy but now is just not a good time, and then suggest maybe goin for icecream, or doin somethin else for her to show her that your proud of her for bein such a great kid! good luck, and its true by the way...karma, her lil boy will grow up being in trouble all the time and she'll regret her choices.

Reward her for being good with extra one on one time. A special girls day out. Get her a stuffed Dog at Build a Bear workshop. Redecorate her bedroom. There's all sorts of ways to reward her for being good that isn't a dog.

You have to sit down and explain the whole "can't have a dog thing" to her cuz you can't.BUT can you have a hamster or a bunny or something she can have in a small cage?Take to her the pet store and let her pick something out and tell her that's cuz she is such a good girl.

it fairly is not any longer lots approximately age suited now as that's approximately beginning weight. slightly one born at 8-9 kilos or greater is going to weigh greater at 10 weeks than slightly one born at 6 kilos. there's a three week distinction between my son and my pal's daughter. even however she is a few weeks older she grow to be lots thinner till only presently, and that they are 17 months now. My boy grow to be 8 kilos 5 oz. while he grow to be 5 days previous and her lady grow to be 8 kilos on an identical time, even however she grow to be a month previous. by ability of the time they have been the two a three hundred and sixty 5 days previous they have been getting nearer, yet mine grow to be 22 kilos and hers grow to be 18 kilos, even however she grow to be taller. fairly the type isn't as dramatic as you think of. toddlers will income weight and advance counting on their beginning weight and on their genes. at the same time as my son has been heavier than his older little lady pal, yet another little boy who's 2 months youthful than he's weighed 20 kilos at 6 months and grow to be wearing length 12 month outfits. His dad is tall and huge, so it fairly is genetic for him to be greater advantageous. No, you maximum possibly are not doing something incorrect with him. you're suited that each and every person toddlers do advance in yet in a distinctive way. the only element which you would be able to doubtlessly be doing incorrect is feeding him on a time table, like a number of 4 hours, fairly than on call for. yet, your son in all probability is totally healthful for him.

Every parent want to give there child everything possible, but you have to controll that, you're doing a good job.... don't worry....
Make her understand, talk to her. That's the only way she will learn.

seems like your main job is raising your own kid well. you're not directly responsible for how some other kid is raised UNLESS it negatively affects your kid, in which case, you need to do something to keep the kids separated.
