Need Advice? Let’s Ask Each Other.
Jo doesn’t contribute to this blog (though I’m hoping I can get a guest entry from her one day) but we have something better: hundreds of parents and/or child experts who stop by to read this each day.
Many of you have already asked for advice, and who better to help than all our experts?
I have 10 years of nanny and teaching experience, so I’ll be glad to try and help, but that’s just one teensy drop in the vast pool of knowledge available here. So each week—or day—depending on how many questions we get, I’ll post a question from a reader who needs advice, and we can all help them out in the Comments section!
If you need advice, you can either e-mail me the question, or post it in the Comments section of an entry.
Now let’s help each other!

Hello,
I need some help i have a 15month old baby that i cannot get to sleep. He wants to sleep with me in my room. I try to put him in his crib and crying crying till he can’t breath. This is getting very bad at night when I have to put him to bed I also have a 3 year old that wants me to sleep with her in her bed. So this is not working out. So what I do is I go in her room with my 15month baby and myself and that’s how I get them to bed. But it does not always work because they start playing and then i get fustrated and on and on. I need some guidance before my blood pressure starts rising.
Please help me out.
thank you so much

My 4 year old grand daughter was potty trained by the time she was two years old and had never had an accident (night or day) until til recently. She is now four years old and allof a sudden has started pee peeing in her pants, on the sofa, in her toy box, and in her P.J. drawer. What do you think could be the problem. There have been no major changes in her life or daily routine. We are at a loss as to why. Her parents are beside themselves as to why this has begun or what to do or actually how to handle the situtation. She has a 18 months old sister. What advise can you offer.
Help,

My two year old Grandaughter Julia recently started screaming. She has a very high pitched scream that actually hurts your ears. She isn’t unhappy when she does this. She’s usually playing, having fun or sometimes even while walking down a hall or in a store. We are at a loss as to how to handle this.
Yesterday we were at a family wedding. Julia kept screaming out and I actually ended up taking her home and missing out on the wedding. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Sherry

My son is 2 years old and will not sleep in his own bed. It is very frustrating as I have tried reading books before bed, laying on his bed with him etc. Nothing seems to work. Even if he falls asleep on the couch and I put him in his bed, he will wake up and come into our bed. Please help

OK. Here it goes. When you put him to bed, read him a story, give him hugs and kisses, and then say “It is bedtime.” Lay him down, cover him up, and sit about 6 feet awat from his bed, and wait for him to fall asleep. If he keeps getting up and calling you, just ignore him, and place him back in bed. You might have to do it 50 times. Just be consistent. Do not even give him eye contact. It will be hard, but it does work. Every night, move further and further away from his bed or crib, eventually to the point where you are sitting right outside his door.
Other nights, after sitting in his room is complete, if he continues to get up after you put him to bed, place him back, no eye contact no words. Keep doing it. Be consistent. Hope it helps. =) Let me know.

Another thing Jade, Keep things calm leading up to bedtime. No noisy toys ot movies or too much stimulation. Try making bath time right before bedtime as part of your everyday routine.

I have a 4 year old boy that continues to test everyone around with hitting and kicking. Time outs don’t seem to help. He also will move on to the pets in the house and do the same to. Listening seems to be something he lacks alot of.
Please help………….
thank you.
