Example being a few days ago he came in the house and took off his jacket and shirt and threw them on the floor. I asked him to put his shirt back on as the temp was low and cold in the house. He proceeded to throw himself on the floor and scream no and cry. This lasted for an hour. I tried putting him in a "naughty chair" only to get hit. Later he calmed down but its like this everytime his father leaves or is away. I am wondering if its being this is the 3rd house he has lived in and he is testing me and what I will let happen or what.

Then, when I try to put him in timeout in his room, he will leave the room if I leave the door open, and if I close the door, I literally have to hold it shut for the entire time. When the door is closed, he screams and pleads for me to open the door. I can't use a "naughty chair" because he will get up from the chair repeatedly. He even laughs, like he knows he holds the power. Anyone ever dealt with something like this?

The last month or so she she has started crying and screaming "mummy" when she goes to bed. This can last for up to 3 hours (will go quiet for a little while and then start up again), it usually ends in me having to rock her gently for a while until she is beginning to get sleepy and then putting her in her cot and she will drop off.

I have tried controlled crying but I have to consider my older children who have school the next day and a few nights ago she got herself in such a state she ended up being sick.

Generally once she is asleep she will go through the night but some nights she is waking around 3am and can be awake for 2 - 3 hours again. She does a similar thing as bedtime but doesn't seem so loud or frequent - I normally have to go into her several times though

She's never slept much during the day - usually one nap after lunch for an hour, occasionally 1 and a half. On Monday she didn't have a nap at all (first time) and she fell asleep before she had even got to bed but then woke at 3am for nearly 2 and a half hours! Today she's only had 45 minutes (I woke her) as I'm wondering if her naps are now affecting bedtime?

Has anyone got any ideas what could suddenly have caused this and the best way for me to tackle it? ]]> Sleeping cazz7 http://forum.supernanny.com/showthread.php?t=26231 http://forum.supernanny.com/showthread.php?t=26229&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:46:44 GMT My daughter is two and a half and my ex boyfriend and I currently have shared custody.

A lot has gone on and we return to court to modify his visitation on December 29th of this year.

I potty trained my daughter in August - her pediatrician requested me to do so after my daughter had numerous yeast infections, most while on an antibiotic, some while not on one. Anyway, I completely potty trained her using a method given to me by a friend. In October, the judge awarded my ex full week visitations every other week until our next hearing. After the first week, I figured my daughter regressed because of the new schedule, and decided to go ahead and "re" potty train her, which only took about a day and a half. Now she's being returned to me every week in diapers - prompting me to have to "re" potty train her. I have attempted a few times to give her father the schedule and potty training technique so that he can better monitor her potty usage - however he has not. My daughter also tells me (she's on a 3 year old mental level) that she wears "diapers" at Memi's (his mom's, where they live) and that "pappy or memi" change her. This makes things confusing for my daughter.

Does anyone have idea's on how I can help the "re" potty training process go smoother and easier on both her and I? ]]> Potty training motherofmerci http://forum.supernanny.com/showthread.php?t=26229 http://forum.supernanny.com/showthread.php?t=26227&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:39:56 GMT My five year old son has had two recent episodes w/ hitting.

One was a friend and the other an opponent on the soccer field. Both of the kids have been girls. My husband and I asked him why he hit.

When she was a little over two years old she started peeing in the potty and we were so proud of her. Then one day she pooped in the potty and when she saw it, it scared her and she started pooping and peeing in her panties again. She has had constapation problems and is currently on medication. Once she turned 3 in May I started the process of potty training again. I would try for a month then when there was no progress, I'd give her a break for a couple of weeks and start again. About two months ago, I started training her again and she did well in regard to the peeing but she would not poop in the potty. Then one day, I told her we were going to take a trip to see her Grammy and Grampy who live in Canada during Thanks Giving holiday, and if she'd poop in the potty I'd take her and her sister horseback riding. Last summer I took her horseback riding and she loved it so I knew she'd want to do it again. The next day she finially pooped in the potty! I was so proud of her! I gave her a big hug and told her how proud I was of her. She was also proud of herself and I remember her saying, "I so happy". Since then she has pooped a little in the potty but has also pooped in her panties at times too. I am afraid that she might again for the second time go back to pooping in her panties. When she does poop or pee in her panties what I do for disapline is tell her that pooping in her panties in NOT ok and that she is a big girl and needs to poop in the potty only. Then after cleaning her and everything else up, I get down to her level and tell her that she needs to have a time-out in the naughty chair for 4 mins for pooping in her panties. Then once her time out is finished I again get down to her level and tell her why mommy put her in the naughty chair and ask her to say sorry. The other thing I do, if I am at home and do not have to take her anywhere, I put a dress or skirt on Trinity and have her go around the house with no panties or pull-up on for the rest of the day. In the mornings I do put panties on her except at bed time but once she has pooped in her panties, I take them off. She doesn't like not having anything on but she will not poop or pee on the floor either. Instead she'll come to me and tell me she has to go pee or poop. Sometimes after she tells me she has to go poop, she'll get on the toliet and after a few minutes she says she's done but nothing happened. She holds it in. Sometimes she holds it until I put a pull-up on her at bedtime then she'll go.
My question is, she doesn't seem to be progressing. Is there something I am not doing to get her to NOT poop in her panties? I want her to stop and to always poop in the toliet. Not just sometimes in the toliet and sometimes in her panties. Please help!
