We had to move our toddler's crib into our bedroom for 10 days when we had relatives staying over recently, and he would wake up and realise we were in the same room and cry until we would let him sleep in our bed with us. Now he is back to his own room again, he will wake up after about an hour...

I'm looking for a study (or article or something like it) that was mentioned in a thread some time ago, I think on this newsgroup. I'm trying to procure the information for a friend. The issue was something like "play violence". I believe someone referenced a work, which I read at the time, with...

I feel really angry with myself. We did try brushing our 20month old toddler's teeth when he was around 15 months, but he wouldn't let us. we tried a lot of times but all he would do was suck the toothbrush and the toothpaste off the brush. Advice that our friends gave at that time (who had...

We started our DS at 6 months with rice cereal (which he loved) carrots and sweet potato (which he didn't like but tolerated) and then pears (he also loved). We moved onto bananas, and I think he may have coincidentally had a stomach virus because he vomited several times later that day....

My daughter is 11 months old and is currently breastfeeding. She is becoming less interested and I am ready to quit. Can I start her on whole milk at 11 months? She does not like formula. I know many doctors say to wait until age 1, but I wanted to know from mothers who have dealt with this...

How I Made $30,000 In 30 Days with $11! Is it really possible for you to make so much money so quickly? From my 10 years of business training and practice, I thought this to be impossible, when I came across Johns' article a month and a half ago. I won't waste your time and mine trying to convince...

Ds (27 mo) has a rash under his chin, extending from the chin to midway down the neck. It's more pronounced on his right side. It is completely colourless, just a rough bumpiness on the skin, and appears to be mildly itchy; he doesn't generally scratch it during the day, but when he's at rest and...

We're looking for a good but inexpensive basketball hoop/system for our two kids. They're mildly interested in basketball, though not particularly good, and would probably use the thing just a few hours per week. http://tinyurl.com/d97dm is a Target ad for a $65 Huffy system. Can't beat the...

The Story About the Toddler, Volume 25. by Jeff Vogel Or daughter Cordelia is now three years and two months old. Her mental improvement, as measured by the number of TV shows she can ask to see in any given day, is shooting through the roof. While her body has undergone no changes of note since...

Good morning! I've just returned from the playground. DD, 28 months, is allowed on the slides, but not in the tunnels, because she gets "stuck" and cries and needs to be pulled out by an adult. So no tunnels. Today she crawled in the tunnel, cried, and I pulled her out, and told her "no...

I'm just posting my thoughts, see what some other parents think about my situation. I'm the single father of my 19mo son. I'm currently finishing off a year of study in University (have finals coming up at end of month), so I'm now off student loans and need to settle into a working for the...

Ok - So I haven't been here a lot lately. I go today and I see movie reviews (why would misc.kids be a good place for these?), and a lot of spam. Oh yeah, once in awhile a good thread. What the hec happened? Almost makes me want to go to a moderated group. Sunshine

DS has been a champ about going on his little potty for the past year, but has shown no interest in using the toilet. While I don't want to mess with a good thing, he has a *very* healthy digestive system, and I'm getting kinda tired of washing poops out of his potty 2-5 times a day! Anyone with...

Hi. I am the mother of an 11 month old and I am wondering if I can/should start whole milk. I am breastfeeding now, but she is becoming less interested in drinking and I am more than ready to quit. She also doesn't like formula at all. I would rather just go straight to whole milk instead of...

Son have been even tempered, many said he've been a sweet boy, he is now 10 yrs old. I have had good & peaceful relationship with him. His mother moved to an apt 6 months ago. He is now sassy, once a while said bad term "idiot!" in front of me. It surprise me that my boy can change this much in...

My daughter is 23 months and doesn't say her own name yet. I'm not at all worried about it -- she is really very verbal (hundreds of words, 3-4 word sentences) and very self aware. She refers to herself as "Me". As in, what is your name? Me. She talks about the people in our family -- whose...
