Parents' Lounge / General Parenting / 4 year old Talking too much
|
on: January 08, 2014, 11:25:19 AM

Ever since my grand ftp://son has learned to talk, you can not get him to stay quiet. But more recently its becoming more of an issue. He interrupt adults in conversations, he shouts to be heard, and I have to talk over him just to be heard. I know he's learning more and more each day but how do I get him to learn that its respectful to just be quiet. Anybody with a little chatterbox that can't shutup? LOL!

Parents' Lounge / General Parenting / Nail Biting
|
on: April 04, 2013, 12:44:23 AM

My 4 year old grandson has become a nail biter. He bites it down to nothing. I am not happy with this behavior. It happens when someone raises their voice to him, by telling him “NO!” or “Stop That!” or when he is just watching TV he starts to chomp on his nails and sometimes it bleeds. Should I be concerned about? Should I try to stop him, and if so, how? Is this an underlining problem? Is this a sign low self-esteem?

Parents' Lounge / General Parenting / My 3 year old is peeing in his pants

Chance has been attending daycare for two years now. He has been potty trained for well over a year and is all of a sudden having accidents on himself (peeing), almost daily in school. I have no idea why or what to do. I am not sure if it stress he is going through, a phase or some other unforeseen problem. Can someone please give me some advice? He is my grandson, and my daughter and her husband has been going thru some rough spots. I will like to know how to handle this situation!

EARLY LEARNING / Early Learning - General Discussions / Gifted Schools in Queens,NY
|

I live in Laurelton, NY, which is in the borough of Queens. I am looking for an affordable gifted school for my 3 year old grandson Chance. There are only two schools in my area, which I am not interested in. I would like my grandson to attend a school that is culturally diverse. Honestly, this is a first to me, and I am so excited!
I realize I am full of questions today, but I just found out that Chance has been given the very special title as being a gifted child and I would like to continue the learning in a positive and great environment.
I would really appreciate some help with this.
Thank you.

Parents' Lounge / General Parenting / Potty Training
|

Yesterday, I watched a show on a new way to potty train your toddler. It was based on timings. Your toddler wears this special watch with cute little melodies that play when it is time for the toddler to use the potty. I thought it was very cute but expensive.
I have a two year grandson that I would like to help potty train. Does anyone know how long after you give your toddler something to drink he would need to use the bathroom and how long after you give him something to eat? I would like to implement my own version of this, which definitely would be less expensive.
Thanks.

Parents' Lounge / General Parenting / 2 year playtime with stepbrother
|

I have a 15 year old step-son (Josh) and a 2 year old grandson (Chance). Honestly, I do not like the way Josh plays with Chance. Josh spends more time trying to discipline the baby more than playing with him. Through the whole play time, Josh is like, “Chance don’t touch this don’t put that in your mouth, you’re being a bad baby” and the list goes on. I would prefer that Josh does not play with him period. Josh thinks he knows everything and I need to be able to talk to him, and explain to him how to play properly with a toddler.
The end result of their playing is Chance hauls of and slaps Josh in face. Help! It would be nice if someone can attempt to answer this for me.

Parents' Lounge / General Parenting / 2year with bad temper
|

My grandson Chance has a bad temper. I am not sure if this is part of the terrible two’s or something else. Chance did not like the allergist that was examining him, and he fought and screamed at her. He was such in a rage, once, the doctor was done with the examination he got off my lap and threw the seat on the floor that the doctor was sitting on and he tried to turn over the weighing scale too, but it was too heavy for him to move.
Yesterday, we went shopping with my partner B, his son Josh, Chance and I. Chance and I were buying things for the barbecue he had a book to keep him busy. He was extremely happy with us shopping and his book. Then when my partner and Josh showed up he started to throw a fit and he pulled my hair almost out of my head and started to bite me. My partner pulled him off of me; he started to bite him too. It took Chance a while too calm down.
When Chance gets upset he usually wants to bite (me or my partner and my partner kids), pull (my hair), and throw things down that is in his reach. I mean is this normal? I need some input! Or is this something else going on here that needs intrevention!
The amazing thing is that Chance does not do this with his Mom, which is my daughter. My daughter is stunned when I tell her about Chance’s behavior.
