- by MatisseMy daughter (22months) is more verbal than physical, so she isn't much into pushing or biting or hitting. There are a few kids in our playgroup that are super physical, and yesterday, my daughter got bit hard enough that she cried (she isn't much of a crier either, so I know it really hurt). I […]

- by N_S3Thanks to all who responded for my question about an 8-year old constantly losing things. There isn't much we can do about her mom buying her expensive electronics, or buying her replacements when she loses them. BUT, I did get the idea of having her work to replace things she has lost at our house. […]
- by jesikapearceMy daughter just turned 2 and she won't be made happy! She has a decent vocabulary, though she hardly uses it to say what she wants. Most of the time she screams and cries whenever she does or doesn't want something. It makes me crazy! I'm having a difficult time with patience! I keep trying […]

- by jfieglMy 7 yr old goes through "phases" where she will wet the bed every night, pee her pants during normal social interactions and go on as if it never happened. She will try to hide it by changing her clothes and saying she is "cold" or whatever she comes up with. I have tried to […]
- by Paula_H2My son is going to turn 1 tomorrow and seems like he is going through his terrible two phase already. When he's good, he's good. But when he's bad, oh let me tell you!! When he doesn't get his way or can't play with something (b/c it's Comet or bleach cleaner) he throws a terrible […]
