1. How do you potty train a child?

2. What can you do if your baby starts brawling and catching an attitude in public.

(Age: Less than 5 yrs old)


I did not potty train any of mine so i cant offer any advice other that take the to someone that knows what they are doing and have them do it.

2. I have never had this happen.  I think the older kids keep the younger ones in check.  And all it takes is one look from me and my kids stop dead in thier tracks.  Whatever they were thinking of doing they quickly forget. 

We have a rule that i have reviewed every single time we would get out the car to go in a store and I think repeating it over and over again, sometimes saying it in the store is what has kept them in thier place.
"Look with your eyes and not your hands, dont ask me for anything, if I want you to have it I will offer it to you"  Then

I would be sure to offer them something.  It could be something as simple as choose from one of these cereals that are on sale. Giving them a choice in the store helps them feel like they are part of the decison making as well.  It gives them something that is "thiers".

I also trained them early that we shop from our shopping list.  So the candy over there is not on our list.  My eldest son when he was young around 3 or 4 would take the list and look at it as if he knew how to read to see if the candy was on the list and then hang his head and hand it back to me.  he would then pick up out the cart the item that he personally choose and hold on to that.

Cut off the internet, simple.

Some middle and high school have restrictions on some sites, which dating sites should be one of them.

If you have any any questions about it, report to the school guidance and principle, they'd do something about it.

If she wants to go to the library, let her go, but limit the time she spends there. If you have time, let her go on thedays you have time to watch her.

And you know, you do have parental guidance on your computer. Ask your server to block some site, or ask them how you can block it byu yourself wink
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Sissy3(f): 12:46am On Apr 04, 2009
i suggest either you or the gals parents add the dating site to the list of blocked pages on the computer, so she wouldn't be able to access it. {OR}
there are many software out there, that they can use to limit her access to the internet and it allows you to block certain site or actions performed on the computer. at least there is one that i know that allows you to set the number of hours you want the person to be online, lets say like 2hrs and after that 2hrs, the software automatically shut down the computer and it also includes parental control, which allows you or the parents to block or allow certain sites accessible on the computer. but i do suggest you do something about it before she is allured into something else cox she is way too young to be searching dating sites online.
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by amosexy: 12:55am On Apr 04, 2009
Thx guyz bt how do i tell her i went thru her system and i saw wat she was doing without gettin her upset ? if i tell her parent,they will demand an explaination for reason behind the restriction and i wouldn't wanna tell them bt if i do it myself my neice will still question me.

Why are you fidgeting?
Do you know how many kids have been endangered due to dating sites? We're talking about a 13 years old here.

Who has the floor, you or her?
Tell her and demand what she was doing. . . .if she dares to tell you that you're not her father, tell her parents then.
Nonsense! The way kids are behaving this days.

Are you afraid of her?

Ok, if na for modesty, tell her you were trying to type something on her screen, then you found out her dating sites.

Dude, do you know how dangerous what she's doing is? The guy she could be talking to might be a child molester or a rapist.

couldn't have said it better!

i mean like seriously, i dnt really think she (your niece)knows what she is doing and it is only you who at this moment can bring light into this matter. she might meet someone online who allures her into meeting him blah, blah, it is either she is raped or goes missing. she is way too young to be doing such things. simply tell her, like ebony said you were tying some address online and the dating site page popped up.

her mom needs to know about this. doesn't she have friends? is she lonely? ask her in a gentle voice the reason why she is visiting such sites, it could be cox she is lonely or lacks attention or something else. dont take this too lightly. she might get upset but guess what? she knows no better at 13 and it is up to you and her parents to set up the boundaries which she must abide by. and oh, she might be putting her private information on those sites, her house address, phone#, and her real name which could put her and the family into serious problems.

Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by amosexy: 2:09am On Apr 04, 2009
I went to her room now and i told her i needed to use her system,she told me to give her 5min.

Later she called me n said i should go ahead. i was thinkin by askin for her permission i could bring the issue up without causin so much trouble bt guess wat ? she delected all the histories !!!! I was stound , i thot by showin her wat i actually saw,we could get talkin bt i was wrong.

Anyway i told her i saw the datin site she was on and she said i have no right using her system  without permission and said i dont even have prove  to show anybody.i got so mad and slapped her .Her mum told me she already warned her about datin site and since i have no prove,she didnt believe me .  Her mum felt i'm questionin her skill on how to bring up her children.

I told the mother right  there and there that i want the internet restricted from tomorrow either i  provide prove or not.


The only reason i didnt call 911 on u was becos of my mum,if u lay a finger on me again, said my neice

Kids under 18 shouldnt have a computer in their rooms.
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Sissy3(f): 2:15am On Apr 04, 2009
that's always the problem with some "moms" they never believe you till it hits them angry angry how can her mom think such a thing, when you are actually helping her. just baffling

stick with the restriction, what about her father?
Re: Parental Guide: Bringing Up A Child by Nobody: 2:25am On Apr 04, 2009
Sad to say, the mother is being pathetic.
Any responsible mother talk to her child about what she heard and reprimand her.

Talk to the father.

True that, the computer needs to be where anyone passing by can see. where no privacy is offered.
