What can be done?View Thread


























































If you are with her 24/7 there are several things you can try but the key is consistency. Dr. Phil and everyone else who wrote a book on how to be a parent can never be in your shoes. The bible says if you love your child you will discipline your child and sometimes doing this hurts us more than them, A good old fashion spank on the behind may work(not abuse) but just to let her know who is the boss. Good luck and pray to God for strength and patience....View Thread






I babysit one week day and see him on the week end for a short time.
Every morning when he wakes up he says POP POP and looks for my truck
Do toddler boys bond to males jn there lives more ?
His grand mom sees him as much and is very loving with her but still always ask for pop.View Thread




He has always shown signs of constipation, however, his pediatrician doesn't feel it's an issue.
He has a poor diet (partly because he won't eat alot, and partly because he's fed more junk and nothing healthy).
According the the dr. his bowel movements are so hard, it's painful so he holds in it. When he does go, he will hide in a corner until he's finished, sometimes he cries.
He refuses to drink prune juice, eat corn or any other food that will help soften it.
His parents have had him on stool softeners for some time and recently stopped because they quit working.
Any suggestions on how to help this little guy??View Thread
