How do you guys deal with other kids? One of my daughter's cousins is a little pushy. They're both two, but the girl does get aggressive. Not like pushing or hitting. But when she wants my girl to do something (hug, hold hands, play with a toy, etc) she won't let go. She'll hold hands as long as she wants and will not let go. My girl used to pull ( Read more... )

How aware of manners are you in regards to your children? I have family members who demand that my son say hello to all their friends when he sees them and constantly pester him to use his manners. He is 4 years old next week. I think pestering him about it has resulted in him just becoming stubborn about it. Now he will not talk to people, He ( Read more... )

Kiddo (2yrs) is a bit skittish on baths lately. He won't not take them, but it's a struggle and not something I want to push too much. On the other hand, they've been playing in the sand box a lot at daycare lately and I keep finding sand in his diapers (! How the heck does that HAPPEN?! Damned sand!)
