I am concerned about potty training my 2.5 year old. Once every few poops, he will have a watery poop, not sure why he gets the watery poop. But I am afraid he will have trouble being potty trained because he may have trouble holding in the watery poop and may have accidents. Does anybody have...

i'm wondering what activities you do/did with your 15 month old during the day, especially for a very active/busy toddler. can you outline a typical day when you are at home for most of the day? -- elizabeth (in australia) DS - born 20-aug-02

I've been reading a lot of newsgroup archives on this issue on google and it seems like a pretty hot topic. My son started sleeping thru the night at 3 months. We let him cry it out and in 30 minutes he was down. We moved and this threw his schedule off. My wife wasn't able to let him cry it...

a couple of questions for my curious mind: 1. how much tv/videos/dvd (specifically made for their age group) do you *think* a toddler should be allowed to watch? 2. how much tv/videos/dvd (specifically made for their age group) does/did your toddler *actually* watch? 3. what % of the time would...

Ok, might not be the best place to post this but I know someone here is wise enough to help me with this. Some friends bought me a jacket while they were in Mexico and it has a blue stain on it. I suspect the stain is from a pen or marker but I can't be sure. I don't know what type of material the...

does anyone know where does the sense of humour comes from? is it genetic or environmental or what? i have a pretty bizarre yet silly sense of humour. the only people who ever truly got it & understood my jokes where my mother (she had the same) and one of my friends. and now it seems DS might have...

THEY HAVE NO RIGHT SUSPENDING THIS CHILD!!! More "hate America" from our liberal educators. BroJack _________ 'Patriotic' Stick Figure Drawing Troubles School Wednesday, October 29, 2003

This article makes NO sense to me...contradictory statements right next to each other. Discuss. From the Irish Times: Sleeping with parents major factor in sudden infant death Infants who sleep with their parents are seven times more likely to die of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome than children...

My child's doctor can not seem to tell me if my son is epileptic. He has had just one seizure, an abnormal EEG, and a good C-scan. The doctor prescribed medicine for 2 years for him, he is now 10. If this really seems to be a one time thing like they seem to think it is, why put this child on...

Hi, I have one 21 month old girl. I'd like to hear some opinions from others. I cannot have any more children and I am feeling terribly guilty for not giving my daughter someone. Our family (including extended family) is very small. She really does not have any cousins or anyone in the family...

I know this isn't a car newsgroup but I figured a lot of others here might have Caravans, too. We just had to have our ingition cylinder replaced and the guy that came to tow the van to the dealer said that he sees this same problem "all the time" and that the cars should be recalled. According...

I'm trying to get my almost 18 month old to sleep through the night. 2.5 weeks ago I started her on a strict nap schedule (for a couple months before that I mostly just let her sleep in the car while cause we were always out, now we stay home more). And for the last 2-3 months she has been on...
