Unruly 3 Year Old

I wrote a couple of weeks ago and i really need some advise. My 3 year old girl is completely out of control. She does not listen to anyone, she is horribly bratty, and has no regard for anyone else. When we are with other children, she will rip toys away from them, push them, and is ALWAYS the boss. But, she is the first to cry when someone else does something to her that she doesn't like. She has started talking baby talk all the time. It's not an attention thing, because I give her attention 24/7 and try very hard to be patient. ...

Homeschooling a 3 Year Old

Any advice on starting a cuuriculum for my 3 year old. I'm a SAHM and our budget is slim, right now I can't afford to get him into half day preschool. The least expensive I've found is $95 a week.

Safe Arts & Crafts for Babies

Looking for fun, safe arts & crafts ideas for our 8 month old. Just a little something to start tapping into her artistic side. Everything she plays with goes in her mouth. I've seen non toxic finger paints in stores but of course they're not going to say it's edible. Any creative ideas? One friend suggested crayons as the least harmful? Pudding? Or just good old finger paints under close supervision? Thanks!

How Do You Give Bath to a 3 Year Old?

I currently give my 3 year old a bath in the bath tub with a bucket and cup with a handle. If I use shower, I end up getting wet which I don't like. But somehow, it has started hurting my back a lot. How do you ladies give bath to your 3 year old? I am encouraging her to do it herself, but she is not there yet.

Balance Bike or Bike with Training Wheels for 4 Year Old?

My daughter is turning 4 next month. She's been riding a trike for 2 years now and we want to move on. I've heard great things about balance bikes or gliders, bur most people I know are buying them for 2 - 3 year olds. Would it be a waste of time/money for a 4 year old? Should I just get her a bike with training wheels? I'm not sure if it matters, but here is the background on my daughter. She is small for her age, so most 2 - 3 year olds are as big as her. She is very athletic and coordinated. She got a scooter for her birthday...

Where Do All the Legos Go?

My 4 yo is really getting into Legos, and I A. learning how expensive they are. There are none for sale on Craigslist, and very few on ebay that are better deals than what they have in the stores. My question is, where do all the Legos go when older kids are done playing with them? I'm talking sets--not a bucket of bricks. Do kids take these things to college or something? Legos have been out for years, yet there's no used ones out there. It's just weird! Do they all go into the landfill? Because if that's the case, then I don't want to buy...

In Need of Good Educational Videos

My three and a half year old no longer naps. *sigh* So, we've resorted to rest time on the couch while watching a movie. She needs the down time or she is really cranky by mid-afternoon. Well, I really don't want to let her watch drivel for two hours every day, so I'd like some good suggestions for educational videos. We have Planet Earth, Life, various Leap Frog videos, and we're planning on getting Blue Planet, but don't have it yet. Anybody have any other suggestions? I don't want to do the TV shows like Nick Jr., PBS, etc. Thanks!

3 Year Old Will Only Wear the Same Clothes over and over...big Fights!

I have a 3 year old daughter who has always preferred to be in her underwear only. Now that we are entering the colder weather, the struggles to get dressed in the morning have escalated and it has become an all-out battle to get to preschool and work on time. She has favored a couple of skirts and shirts for the duration of the summer, and if I present these to her, she will happily comply, but now that I am presenting pants (always favoring tagless, zipperless, loose and soft over tight, stiff and constrictive) and socks (no seam across...

Looking for Lunch Box Ideas

Okay - so my baby starts kindergaten in 2 weeks :-(. He isn't a picky eater, with the exception of peanut butter & carrots, so almost anything goes. I do want to pack his lunch so that I can monitor if he is eating though and not just talking at lunch (he's a talker!). Can you give me some ideas of thing to pack in his lunch that are healthy, quick and inexpensive??? Also, what are some things that you find are must haves for the lunch box routine (i.e., soup containers - do they work?). Thanks Moms!

Need Toy for 3 Year Old with ADHD

Hello, I have a 3 year old nephew with ADHD. I am trying to find a Christmas gift for him, but I'm not coming up with any good ideas. His Mom wants me to get him the clipo table (kind of like bristle blocks) but I think that is too young for him. He can't sit still long so board games are out. Please help! I have a $40 budget. Thanks

ADHD In 3 Year Old

We have been observing our 3 year old for the last year and 1/2 for signs of ADHD. Well her symptoms have escalated in the last month. She is very defiant, gets frustrated very easily, is very impulsive and tests us on everything. She is "hyper" and won't sit still, but that is not a problem :0) can't ask her to do something I'm not capable of. She also goes hysterical at times when you try to show her how to do something or tell her no. I have ADHD and my husband has ADD, we have learned to cope with it and lead normal lives without...

Swing Set or Sandbox?

Hi! We recently moved and were looking to add something to the backyard for our kids, ages two and five. We have a smallish backyard and currently have a Little Tikes playhouse and climbing/slide structure, which I'm and they're happy with. They love sandboxes, so I was initially thinking of adding one (w/ a cover), but some family members, including my husband, think a swing set would be more useful. I know there are some that even come with sandboxes. My hesitation is that we may only be in this house for five years and because my...

Just Curious - When Was Your Child Able to Do a Jigsaw Puzzle?

I don't mean anything big or complicated (like, 500 or 1000 pieces)...I mean, the simple starter ones that are like 24 pieces. We have one that my 3.5 year old DD wants to do again and again, but she needs help every time. She got it for her 3rd birthday and I don't mind doing it with her (though it is one of those things that has gotten mind-numbingly tedious and boring - the sacrifices we make for our children!) but it seems like she still can't figure out how to fit the pieces together to make the picture, or know which piece she needs...

Stuffed Animal for Boys?

I would like to find my 3 year old a special stuffed animal or "buddy" for him to sleep with in his bed. Most stuffed animals/dolls can be too girly, and I'd like something that he won't outgrow for a few years. Any recommendations? (He is very into farm animals and tractors.)

3 Year Old Behavior...

Hello there...I am looking for new tricks to have up my sleeve when dealing with my 3 year old daughter. As of late she has taken to shrieeking when put on a time out. I also have not been able to get her to say "I'm sorry for _____" once she's out of her time out. She flat out refuses and walks away or says she "can't". She also has taken to talking or raising her voice over mine to repeat herself when told "no" in getting something. This she picked up from me due to my using it when she started repeating herself so say "noooooo" over her....
