Skylark, your pediatrician is amazing, I wish I could find someone like him I consider myself a natural momma, breastfeeding, cosleeping, babywearing, cloth diapering, no vacs, gentle discipline I started using cloth diapers when my son was 9 months old, with the next baby I'll start from the beginning. So far I've used many different products and I really like pocket diapers and fitted diapers with diaper cover. My least favorite in pockets are Bum Genius, the best in my opinion are Happy Heinys and Tiny Tush. For a newborn I recommend fitted diapers with covers, this is what I'm planning to do. They are very easy to use. Texaslady, don't worry about breastfeeding too much, it will come naturally, just like someone mentioned earlier, the second time is always different and also easier, I bet this time you'll do just fine  Congratulations on your pregnancy  |

Twinergy thank you for your advice, I will look for these books at the library
My son is not having tantrums yet, he's is mainly whining and crying when I don't do something he wants or if I don't do it the way he wants. For example:he wants me to play with him but I have to wash dishes, he starts crying and keeps asking me to play with him. I did try to tell him I know he's sad and disappointed and I would love to play but I can't at the moment, we will play soon. He gets even more upset and keeps whining. I'm doing something wrong, not sure how to handle this kind of situation that are happening more often lately. The advice sounds so great in books not so easy in real life though.

either the child is dumb and needs constant spanking and getting bigger and painer ... or the parents are dumb ... and beatings is the only way the parents know how to teach a child ......
Unfortunately, many parents still believe that' the best way to discipline their kids. Are they dumb? Maybe some of them... many just don't know there are other ways to discipline or even if they now they don't know how to do it effectively... I have a problem that I'm not sure how to solve. Kaietan is a great, well behaved child most of the time, it's easy to distract him when he gets upset. Sometimes though when he starts crying he cannot stop, if I take him to the other room and tell him to come back when he calms down he comes to me and keeps crying, I take him back telling him again that I love him and want him to come back when he stops crying. But this is not working well,after few times he's crying really hard and is so miserable.If I try to ignore him he'll stay be me and cry,it can go on for a long long time. This technique is not working well for us. How can I resolve this situation? Any advice? |

was just reading ur posts ....there is this thing called "sleep talk"...(i havent tried this on my son....but my frnd has ...and she belives it to be very true)..in india its called "Nidra Sanskar" the first ten minutes after ur baby sleeps talk to him in "present POSITIVE tense",all the talk shud b positive ...u must ask urself and decide wat u want out of your child for eg. if his friends dont take him while playing ...then u tell him "ur friends will take u to play"..say u want ur baby to leave drinking from a bottle then u say "u drink with a glass"..u tell him how strong,polite and caring and intelligent he is..etc etc..u may try this if u like the concept..and let us know may b..take cre.
I read the book about sleep talk, it's a very interesting concept I have tried it with my son once, trying to get him to sleep thru the night, it didn't work I think you have to really believe in what you are saying otherwise it won't work |

My thoughts on spanking
When children are small just a little smack on the bottom is enough, when they get older parents have to start using a little more force to get the same effect. Kids grow bigger, than we have to spank at full force otherwise they are not going to be afraid. At some point hand will be not enough, the time will come to use belts or some other device. Not a nice picture in my head... Isn't it better to use a different discipline technique that will work well with small and bigger kids? Talking, explaining, natural consequence, this is the way to go in my opinion.

eg we attended a playgroup and there was this young boy under 3 .... he was going around kicking other toddlers bottom .... and what did the teacher and the father did?? the tried to talk reason and tell him no .... did the boy stop? definitely not ..... he is saying .... father said no ... i kick again .... and he says no ...... now that's fun ..... what's he going to do ..... continue saying no ..... wow i solicite a response from him by kicking someones bottom ...... needless to say i scrap that playgroup .... what kind of rubbish are they teaching ..... letting a bully run free ..... and the parents couldn't even control their little beast ....
I believe in natural consequence , if it was my son behaving this way, I would warn him once and if he doesn't stop I would stop the fun and we would leave the playgroup and go home where I would make sure he will be very bored. He will learn fast that playing nicely is more fun. |
