My son quite recently went through this. He is 3 as well. There is a little girl next door he plays with and when he would get frustrated, he would bite her. Funnily, it was only her, not any other children. First thing we did is to teach him other strategies for dealing with frustration, and we practice. So when I would see him beginning to get frustrat...
This is very important. She must not under any circumstances attempt to quit cold turkey. That is a very dangerous thing to do while pregnant and could cause fetal demise.
Very very few clinics will attempt to withdraw a pregnant women. Where I work we have an OBclinic that does work with addicted moms. Typically, they will maintain the methadone, and th...
I agree with the others. My 3 year old is doing this again, and only wants peanut butter sandwiches, cheese, fruit, cucumbers and baby carrots. We just go with it...he has done this before and we find the bigger fuss we make, the more he refuses to eat. If we don't say anything at all about it, he eventually comes around. As long as they aren't ...
How heartbreaking. But no, I would not be worried. Small children can and do often play rough as they do not yet understand the concept of hurting someone else. That is a lesson we teach them through reminding them and teaching them. It is usually not a great idea to leave a child that age unsupervised, especially with another child or pet. I have a three...
I am not even close to being any sort of expert on anxiety, but what you describe is very similar to what I went through. I was diagnosed with something I had never heard of...Post Partum Anxiety. Just like post partum depression, and is treated in a very similar manner, but manifests itself in anxiety.
I have been working with (and my son is now 3) a th...
My son did this for a short period of time. In our case, he got scared of the bubbles from the bubble bath I added, and it was several months before he wasn't terrified of all water. He was a bit younger, but close in age to your child.
I didn't push it. I sponge bathed him for a few weeks, and did it next to the bathtub. I then sponge bathed ...
Good to hear he is doing well. However, I wouldn't be too worried about it. That is young to train...my 3 and 3 month old is still working on it, and he is a normal, bright, healthy child. Not a big issue. It will all work out in time.
Agree with 100% of what is said above. I have a very strong willed 3 year old and I understand, trust me.
Excercise is huge. My son is a completely different child on the rare day he doesn't get fresh air exercise. We are out twice a day, rain or shine (and I live in a very cold Canadian climate...we just bundle up).
Discipline is also important. ...
Well, no one can legally force you to abort. YOu have to be willing and have to sign a consent form. If it is not what you want, then do not allow anyone to force you.
16 and pregnant is tough, but people do it. Just remember that if you and your boyfriend choose to have this child and raise it, it is your responsibility not your parents. This means fi...
Thanks for the great post RR. Lot's of first time moms have questions on this, and it's great to have something to refer to.
And Mrsmummy to be....it is never necessary to be rude. Your going to be a mother..perhaps time for a little maturity.
