OK, my 11 year old daughter want to be "punished" (i.e waring diapers getting a crib etc.) like a baby, but not just if being bad, all the time! What should I do, should I do it, or not. Help!

she has just realised she is growing up and she is scared. I went through this too not wanting to grow up. Part of mine was due to bullying so sit her down and ask her what is bothering her. Tell her nappies and a cot are not the solution and you will not be doing it. Do some stuff to celebrate growing older. Is she starting to get her period? She may be having trouble dealing with this. puberty is a hard thing to deal with. If you have to take her to a psycologist to have a chat. She may feel she can tell him/her things she can't tell you

We are catholic and finially baptized our daughter last year at age 10.we dressed her in a poofy,white,mid thigh length dress with a matching bonnet,lace socks and white shoes.we did a size 7 pampers and rubberpants under her dress with her under shirt.she liked the feeling of being a baby and asked to start wearing the pampers and rubberpants all the time and started using a pacifier and bottle and then went to wearing cloth diapers..she is 11 now and just like a real baby.she sleeps in a crib and drinks from a bottle and wears onsies with her diaper and rubberpants.she will out grow it as she gets closer to puberty.

She would rather be a baby than have to 'grow up'. Thus, with a lot of options 'out there' I would likely take a weekend and do it. But remember that babies cannot talk to get what they want so she can't get anything she speaks to get. It SHOULD show her how much easier growing up is going to be. Don't forget about the yucky food they have, all the smelly things that get put on their skin, how long they stay wet before getting changed (babies can't go to the bathroom for themselves either),etc.

Did you recently have a baby? If that is the case your 11 year old may be trying to seek attention by acting like a baby. She may think that is the only way to receive attention from you.

I definitely think that you should sit down with her and find out why she likes to act this way. I know that a lot of children who have been sexually abused start to act this way. I would definitely talk to a child psychologist right away. I would also limit the amount of time that she may spend with anyone else but yourself. I hope things work out.

No you shouldn't do it!!! You need to get to the core of this, find out why she would want to do these things. Ive never ever heard of an 11 year old who would request something like this. It's very odd. I would speak to your daughters doctor.

Take her to counseling. Do not play this game. Some people have these kinds of fetish, but 11 is awfully young. I would be concerned that she has been molested. You should not punish her this way under any circumstance.

i say do it. not just every day but for everything. like for school and sleep overs and going shoping. treat her like a baby every where you go. make her wear baby clothes and dipares. take away her bed and make her sleep in a crib. going to the grocey store put her in a baby seat. make her go in the dipare and change her in public places like the mall. give her bottles of baby milk. change it so every thing in her life now makes it into baby form.

Tell her to stop watching reruns of Jerry Springer from the 90s.

Your daughter is growing up.... and growing up is scary. Much safer to start all over as a baby!
Should you do it?
What kind of question is that! Help her grow up, starting over is not an option.
