I Have Had It with My 5 Year Old!!

If you guys read my post regarding my defiant 5 year old, then you know all about the tip of the iceberg. The straw that broke the camels back: she just intentionally stepped on a brand new picture frame. (why was it on the floor? it was in the corner, blocked off by the couches, in a 'safe spot' -or so I thought- so it wouldn't get knocked over or broken before I could hang it. NO ONE has ANY business even being in that corner. It was under an end table for crying out loud). I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THIS BEHAVIOR IS COMING FROM. I...

How Do I Potty Train?

There are a lot of posts about potty training. I didn't see any about how to actually start doing it. My son has a great interest in the potty, so I would like to get started.

Any Suggesting for Training a 6 Year Old Still in Pull-ups at Night?

My six, just turned six, year old daughter is verbal, bright, and precocious. She was potty trained at 2.5 but has always worn pull-ups at night which was fine with me as I was told by doctors and friends that it's perfectly normal to have a young child have urine in the night instead of waking them up. But last night, she POOPED in her pull-ups and I was upset with her since I know she was awake for it and could have gotten out of bed to use the bathroom. But she said she was tired. Other times she says she is scared even when we put...
