My son was born with clubbed feet and has had 16 casts since he was 4 weeks old. He is now 18 months old. Eight times he was cast on both legs at once and he has had three surgeries. You just have to deal with it. They are our babies. They can't help it and can't help them selves. If you were laid up with a broken leg you would probably be grouchy and asking for people to do things for you too. It won't last forever. Just be glad that is all that is wrong with your child. Some children are in wheel chairs or bed ridden and have to have constant care around the clock. Those are the children who have the strong parents. So buck up. She is your child and besides why wasn't she being watched close enough so she didn't fall down a flight of stairs?

Get on a schedule and stick to it like glue for a while. For now she has so much uncertainty she's just going crazy. If she's getting up in the middle of the night that's a time to sleep, so try to calm her down and get her back to sleep. Sometimes I would baby-sit this 2 year old and she'd wake up screaming in the middle of the night. She wan't really awake, so I'd take her into the bathroom and turn on all the lights and hold her and try to wake her up. She'd fully wake up after a few minutes and then we'd start from scratch and put her back to bed. She didn't get juice or anything in the middle of the night, and eventually she stopped getting up in the middle of the night. Be sure to stick to a schedule that's manageable for you and your family. Most of all try to remain calm even when she's out of control. If you loose it then no one is in control in her mind. She has been throught a lot but needs your consistancy and authority to feel safe and secure again. Good luck!

Well I am not sure this has to do with the hospital stay or injury.
My suggestion. DONT GIVE INTO HER. If you dont give into her then she will know that her demands will not be met and she SHOULD start calming down.
That means you have to be REALLY strong. There can not be "well been a while since we gave in" thing. If you do that she sees your weak spot.
Good luck hon.

She's a baby..she doesn't understand what happened to her and she's scared. Be conforting and supportive. But you are still the parent and you don't have to give in to any demands your child might make if you think they are unnecessary.

I'd be upset as well, if I were two years old and left unsupervised to fall down a stairway!! She is hurting, sore and cranky. Give her extra love.

when she had her cast on you had to do things for her. now she can do for herself, but still wants to be waited on. remember you are the adult and you have to have the control.make sure she is okay if she cries, then leave her alone. don't give in to her demanding wishes.if she throws things, pick the things up and put them up. tell her she will get them back when she calms down. don't yell, remain calm. it will take awhile to get her to understand you aren't bowing to her demands.
