    3 year old son out of control...

    We are having problems with our 3 year old son. He throws these incredible tantrums that my wife and I don't know how to respond to. It's getting out of control. For example, the other day my wife dropped him off at his day home and he had one of his typical fits. He didn't want to go. He...

    regressing after poddy training...

    My wife and I have just recently got our daught of 3 yrs & 1 month poddy trained. She was doing great for a while, but now she seems to be regressing. She always claims it's an accident but I can't tell. Sometimes she's able to tell us that she has to go poop before she really does, but...

    My daughter is breaking my heart...

    One day, my 2 1/2 yr old daughter decided it would be funny if she told me she didn't love me. She made an announcement to the whole (extended) family around the dinner table: "I don't love my daddy!!!" That was over a month ago, and she's still milking it. Every time I ask her "Do you love me...

    3 month old boy inconsolable at night...

    We have a 3 month old son who seems to have developped something like 1 hour per day colic. It's almost like clockwork: at around 9:00pm, he becomes absolutely inconsolable - I mean it, nothing helps. And his cries are deafening - he's definitely got some good lungs. If we're lucky, we can get...

    2 yr old afraid of the dark - please help...

    Our daughter of 2 and a half years, for the past 3 days, has refused to go to sleep at night. Bed time is between 8 and 9 and she only really goes to sleep at around 10:30 or 11:00. At first, I thought it was just stubbornness. Now I'm thinking she scared. I actually think it's a bit of both...

    kids say the darnedest things...

    I had an idea. Kids say the darnedest things - often the funniest or cutest things. So I thought: why don't I start a thread for posting some of the darnest things our toddlers say. I'll start: Just last night, my 2 yr 5 mt old daughter said: "Daddy, I watch TV?" "Well, why don't you watch...

    my wife and I: a united front?...

    In one sense, we are. My wife and I are never inconsistent. If I tell our 2 yr 4 mt old daughter she can do this, she can't do that, my wife will agree. If my wife tells her this is acceptable, that is not, I will agree. But in another sense we aren't. My wife doesn't have an angry bone in her...

    baby not going back to sleep...

    Hello, My wife and I have a darling little 10 month old girl. We're trying to ween her off the multiple breast feedings at night as we're told that once she's eating solids, she shouldn't have to wake up several times a night to feed. We've managed to do this somewhat successfully - she's...
