Night Time Potty Training for 4 Year Old.

Can moms give me some advice about night time potty training for my 4 y.o. boy? He's fully potty trained during the day, but night time is a way different story. My DH and I try to wake him multiple times during the night to go potty, but our son is so sound asleep, either that or he's already wetted his bed. We do not give him liquids past a certain hour, but that doesn't stop him. We currently have him in night time pull ups. I want to try to get him potty trained at night before he begins Kindergarten (July 2009). Any suggestions I...

4 Year Old Son Having Behavior Problems

Does anyone have any suggestions to help me out with my 4 year old son. While picking him up from daycare last week, the teacher told me that he is having behavioral problems. I also found out that he has still been in the 3 yr old room. He is not listening at all, he does not seem to understand that there are consequences for his actions, either good or bad. She suggested that I atake him to the pediatrician, which I am doing this Wednesday. I am just scared the doctor will try to put him on medication, which I really don't want. They...

How to Get 4 Year Old to Eat Meat!!

I have a beautiful 4 year old son who would rather eat fruit than chips and cut up fresh veggies than popcorn! It is amazing and I love it! My mom said I was the same way as a child(still am). Any ways...he will not eat meat without a huge fight and doesn't like cheese or beans either. I have trued everything! His pediatrician gave me the green light for him to be a vegatarian or even a vegan eater. I will be joining him but I want to know if you think I should get him(make him I guess) to eat meat first or should I concede defeat on this...

3 y.o. With Impetigo

My 3 y.o. has been diagnosed with impetigo on his bump. He had a rash for 4-5 days and after using different OTC ointments and the rash got worse we took him to the pediatrician and was told it is a common skin infection among kids - impetigo. He's been put on Cephalexim orally and an antibiotic ointment and after being on them for almost 48 hrs, there's some improvement in the sense the scabs seem to be gone (there are only few scabs that came out yesterday left on the upper leg)but the red rash is still there. My son says it still itches...

4 Year Old Boy and His Dressing Habits

My 4 year old will not wear pants nor will he wear socks and shoes. He only wants to wear shorts and flip flops. He says he is not cold. I feel his feet and legs and he does not feel cold. As of yet, he has not gotten sick. (Keeping fingers crossed). In the past he has tried putting socks and shoes on but it freaks him out. The same with pants. I can see the frustration in his eyes when he tries the shoes and pants. What do I do? Thank you !

Warts on 3 Year Old

I've searched on here and read through quite a few wart questions. So I'm sorry if this sounds redundant. My daughter who is 3 has had a wart on her finger for quite some time. I never really thought anything of it until yesterday, when I noticed she now has one on her wrist, opposite arm. (I thought it would go away on its own) The first one has little brown specs in it. This made me start to question it and look into help online....and boy did not I not realize warts were contagious. So now this has me concerned. Also my...
