Baby`s development in month 32

Getting your child to listen and follow the rules can be a challenge. It is easy for your child to follow directions, but you must set rules and establish consequences for misbehaving. Explain your rules quickly and precisely. All rules should be clear and specific. If you tell your child not to jump on your bed, make sure he knows that he can not jump on any of the beds. The rules you set need to be consistent and should be followed by everyone else in the house. Be an example for your child to follow. If your child can not walk in the house with shoes on, neither should you. When setting rules, consider your child's age and abilities. Some rules are not feasible for a two year old to live by. You can not expect your two year old to put his toys away each time without being reminded to do so. Do not make too many rules-children will forget what is acceptable and what is not. Repeat the rules often. Because toddlers have a short attention span and tend to forget things easily, you need to remind him of the rules often.

You might notice that your child seems shy all of a sudden. Most two and three year olds are shy around other children and even some adults. Some children are more shy around adults than other children. Rather than looking for a cure for her shyness, help your child feel comfortable around other people. Do not label your child as `shy` when talking to her or when talking with other people. Calling her shy will make her accept it as a fact and she will not want to socialize with other people. Encourage your child to participate in activities that involve other children and adults. Do not push her if she does not want to. Invite one or two children over to your house, where she is comfortable, and have a play date for a couple of hours. When people talk to your child and she does respond, simply speak for your toddler. This may set the stage for your child and she might participate in the conversation.

Children tend to be bossy at this age. Your child sees himself as the most important person in the world and thinks that things are supposed to revolve around what he wants at all times. You can discourage this normal behavior by treating him as you want him to treat others. Try not to sound bossy towards him and give him adequate attention. Do not respond when your child is rude. Make him say please and thank you and do not give in to direct commands from your child. Give your child responsibilities and some control over less important things throughout the day. This should in turn make your child feel good about himself and lessen the need for so much control over others.

Anyone have a 14yr old girl who thinks shes all grown up and can do what she wants? what bothers me is she just makes plans and doesn't ask first. She just feels that we'll run here here and run her there when ever she wants. She likes to go to these baseball games to hang out with freinds two or three times a week and needs to be picked up at 10:00pm, I have 3 month old twins and me and my husband don't always feel like going out at 10:00 but we do it. But when I ask her to come to an appt with me to help with the twins she doesn't want to help, sorry I'm just upset today and need to vent.

christinec- I have a 3 year old daughter and last night actually she was asking me to draw something, but she was giving me big attitude and i was getting angry so i told her to ask me again but to say please she did but she still had the attitude. so i explained to her i didn't like the way she was speaking to me and i told her that if she is angry about something or frustrated she should take a deep breathe in and out and then try asking me again nicely, I demonstrated for her first then i asked her to try it, she did and she calmed down and asked me nicely, it really worked i'm going to try that from now on and if it doesn't work and she is not happy to do that for me for some reason then she will get 4 minutes in her room to sit on her bed alone for a time out. Hope this helps.

Hi ladies-- I have a two month old baby that doesn't really like to be held. He smiles and coos but would rather play on the floor (unless he is tired.) As a new mom I am worried about everything. Did any of you have a baby like that? How are they now? Leave a message on my page please. Thanks!

christinesc - When my son started that i told him it wasn't polite and that if speaks to me like that again he was getting a timeout. He did it once more, got a timeout and hasn't done it since. At least not yet! I am sure he will do it again eventually but for now i will enjoy my peace!

Hi everyone! I have a 4 year old daughter who has begun to talk back. Nothing too serious--example, I'll say, 'Go ahead and get dressed.' and she'll say 'I got dressed already!!!' It's more her tone that I don't like. Do any of you have any suggestions other than telling her that I don't like her tone?

I'm from the 2 month section. I don't know why I havn't thought to post here...I have 5 children ranging in ages from 2 months to 8 years. My 3 year old son is having his tonsils and adnoids out due to severe sleep apnea. I am a nervouse wreck about having him sedated. I know it's a very common surgery and he'll be fine but it's still un nerving. I was just wondering if anyone elses children have had this done and how was the experience?

We are waiting with my youngest to get her ears done. It is her choice. I did the same thing with my oldest. We waited till she asked for them. My sister and brother both got their daughter's done when the were babies. My brother did it because his daughter looked more boyish. It is a personal decision but, I think it should be the child's choice.

Does/Has anyone here suffer from anxiety attacks?? If so, leave me a private message.

Bri - Thursday, 22 May
NewBeginings - Personally I would wait until your baby was older. Some girls don't want their ears pierced you know. My sister in law is one. She is too active and just didn't care to have it done. She's now 23 years old. Also, I got mine done when I was 9 years old. Actually it was about a week before my nineth birthday. I still remember how excited I was. It was something to look forward to and made that birthday memoriable. I have a son but 'when' I have a daugher I will have her wait too. Just my personal opinion.

NewBeginings - Saturday, 17 May
hey girls, i was just wondering if any one had older children who they pierced their ears. I was thinking i wanted to pierce lillys ears but i diddnt know the best time to do it ive heard its better to do it younger so they wont pull on them and they have a less chance of getting infected. But should you pierce a infants ears? I did some googling and they say 3months is best but that seams young. I know i could wait till she was alot older like 5 or 6 but i saw a little baby girl the other day with hers done and it looked so cute. plus my mom had mine done when i was little. Just wondering what you ladies knew or thought about it.

My son is going to be three in July and until I started doing some research I was worried he might have a learning disability because he has such a short attention span. I am glad that his behavior is adequate to his age.

Ladies, wondering if any of you can shed some insight. A week ago my six week old started getting mucus in his poop. Within a few days it became green and more liquidy. He is breastfed. I have gone on a completely hypoallergenic diet over the past week & this hasn't helped so I'm figuring it's probably not allergies. He's been to the dr.-no blood in the stool, no fever, acting normally, eating normally. They are now begining to run all sorts of other tests but as of yet have no answer. Someone mentioned hindmilk/foremilk imbalance to me so over the past day and a half I've been having him nurse twice from the same side before switching. At first he seemed to be improving, the first couple poops after were yellower than they'd been in days, but now they are back to green. Does anyone have any knowledge about this? How long does it take to make a difference if this is the problem? I hate to put him thru more tests or on a medication he doesn't need if its a breastfeeding issue. Please message me if you can help. Thanks so much!

I think my three year old is trying to drive me crazy. He is such a handful. NON STOP!!! I am sooooo tired all the time because I have to constantly deal with him. He is sooooo adorable too, so it is hard to get mad at him. He is three and fourty + pounds so it is hard to man handle him like make him sit or lift him into a buggy. geez I wish he would grow out of this crazy stage already.

shathon- that is disgusting! How do parents think of these things, let alone do them??! I have been disturbed all morning by the Today Show clip about the cheerleaders that beat on another 16 year old girl for 30 minutes. It sickens me and I have a hard time letting go of those thoughts. I have a 12 year old girl and I would be beside myself if she ever went thru anything like that
