Seeking Help with Diabetic Child

I have a 9 year old diabetic (type 1) autistic child who gets into cubards and refridgerater late at night between 3-5 am when she sees her blood sugar is low 80-90's range and snacks until she winds up in the emergency room needing a iv in her arm from a very high blood sugar. She thinks 80-90 range is too low even though it's a little low, but it's still ok range.

Need Creative Disclipline Suggestions for a 10 Year Old

Hi. I have a request for all the creative Mommys out there. I have a 10 year old son who is wonderful. He is a really good kid. We have one issue with him that we can't seem to tackle. He is a talker. He LOVES to talk. He will talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime. He is on the A honor roll at school and participates in sports and is generally just an all around fantastic kid. The boy just cannot seem to keep his mouth closed. He is getting in trouble at school (every year) for talking. BUT, this is the first year that they are...

Bad Ankle Pain in a Four Year Old?

When I picked up my youngest from school today I was told she had fallen off of the area where there is a pole they could slide down at recess. The teacher said she was fine and that she just got up and kept playing afterwords. GREAT! I took her and her sister to the local park after dinner and she said her ankle hurt afterwords. (They had been running around playing tag for nearly two hours.) I had her take a hot bath and stay in a little longer hoping that might help. There was no swelling. She just came into my bedroom crying that her...

10 Year Old Defiant Son

I am so desperate for any advice from other parents of 10 year old boys. My son is not at all respectful of my discipling him, he doesn't care what I threaten him with. He is afraid if I say I am going to go get dad though. I just don't know what to do to get him to understand that what I say goes. He also says he doesn't care if he fails his classes, although we have treatened punishment and offered incentives to doing well. He will do good one week and the next doesn't care. I guess I would just like to know that there are other moms out...

2 Y/o with Wart on Hand

My 2 year old daughter has what appears to be a wart on her hand, right in the crease where her ring finger meets her palm. It is fairly large, she picks at it occasionally but it doesn't otherwise seem to be bothering her. I am hesitant to ask to have it removed because not only would that be probably traumatic, but it seems like it would be a very difficult location to keep bandaged and cleaned afterwards. The over-the-counter wart creams all seem to contain salicylic acid, which my older daughter is highly allergic to, so I am hesitant...
