August 2022 Babies 🇺🇸

What are some tricks I could use to get this little boy to pee in the potty! He does great with #2 but peeing is such a pain. It’s like he doesn’t know he has to go until he is actually going.. and by then it’s too late. I’ve tried treats, (I bought him a gumball machine and would give him coins) , I’ve tried him being around other boys and allowing them to take him, I’ve tried the whole punishment thing… nothing seems to work! I’m so over it! 😩

Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve been on here. Something just told me to download it again.

My 3.5 year old is out of control. I can’t seem to get her to listen or respect us. We just had our second in January, and I know that part of her acting out is the baby. But, it’s more than that. We’re to the point that it’s becoming too much for me to handle and my mental health is suffering. We had to pull her from daycare because we were worried about possible abuse, which threw her off her schedule. I didn’t think it would cause this many issues. She screams and yells at me to the point where the only way to make her stop is to put her in timeout. She is crying and fake crying all day everyday and I know you’re supposed to ignore tantrums, but we can’t because it’s affecting the baby’s ability to sleep. She gets up in the middle of the night and breaks things in her room and then is up again at 4 in the morning jumping out of her bed, which is waking everyone up. I’m at a loss. We’ve tried everything from taking toys, to timeout, to ignoring the behavior and nothing is working. This has been constantly going on for 2 months now and I can’t deal with it anymore. I just want my sweet baby back but it seems like it’s too late for that.

How much are your 3.5 year olds sleeping in a 24 hour period? My little one is excessively tired and begs me to stay home and nap some days. We are going to the doctor on Monday for some lab work and stuff but I’m just curious what everyone else’s kids are doing at this age?

Is anyone’s toddler done with napping? Bedtime has been really hard even with a 30 minute cut off. Worried to stop napping to soon and him being tired but these bedtimes are going to 9:30 usually. He wakes at 6:00/6:30.
