4 Year Old Might Have Learning Disabilities

I am the mother of a 4 year old, a full time nanny, and have worked in daycares for 10 years. I do "preschool time" with my son (4) and the other 2 boys, both of whom are 2.5 years old. I teach them through worksheets, activities, crafts, field trips, all kinds of hands-on games, repetition, and more- I like to try and keep it as fun as possible so they do not get bored. I know that my son is very smart, but he has NO interest in learning anything. He only knows 2 colors, 3 shapes, and the letter "O". We work on this every single day. The...

Is My Husband Bi-polar?

After reading your answers to my first post I wondering if my husband can be bi-polar. How can I tell if has this mental illness?What are the signs? He is very angry most of the time, just like a time ticking bomb. I never know when he will explode. He switches very easliy from being calm to being extremely nervous and violent. He has always been like this. I know that his father is also abusive with his mother so maybe it is something genetic. He also looses his temper very often with our toddler. One day he took a knife from the kitchen...

Unruly 3 Year Old

I wrote a couple of weeks ago and i really need some advise. My 3 year old girl is completely out of control. She does not listen to anyone, she is horribly bratty, and has no regard for anyone else. When we are with other children, she will rip toys away from them, push them, and is ALWAYS the boss. But, she is the first to cry when someone else does something to her that she doesn't like. She has started talking baby talk all the time. It's not an attention thing, because I give her attention 24/7 and try very hard to be patient. ...

Attitude and Self-injury

I have a 12-year-old boy whose academic performance has slowly deteriorated throughout this academic year and whose personal integrity has surfaced to insecurity. He is quite unorganized. He has a school agenda that is full of doodles rather than homework assignments. My son is not an excellent student, although I am told he could be if only he had the "right attitude", but up to now he has been passing with reasonable marks. However, this past term he has failed 4 classes. This past week at school his counselor informed me he put paint in...

3 Year Old Doesn't like Preschool

Sorry if this is long... My son, born June 24, 2008 has been going to a lovely Catholic preschool, the school is pre-k-8th grade. The atmosphere at the school is warm and nurturing as well as having good academics. We also chose the school because we agreed to raise our children Catholic, even though I am not Catholic. We thought it would be easiest for everyone to have his religious education given right along with his regular schooling so it wouldn't have to be another activity to be scheduled in a hectic overscheduled world. The...

3 Year Old Boy- Is Very Moody

Hello everyone i have a 3 year old boy whom has bad mood swings. For the most part he is the average boy. You know wild, rambuxious, rough, likes to repeat himself and is very loud and wants things his way and now. Other times he is the most loving boy ever, saying "I LOVE YOU- so much mommy." I keep telling myself: well he is just a boy and they are different than girls. But, he has gotten very bossy and has some bad mood swings. He doesn't like to leave home- he would much rather be home in the house or outdoors he gets quite upset...

Separation Anxiety for a 3 Year Old???

I have a 3 year old little girl who I think at one time might have adjusted well if I had not coddled her to much. How ever I did and now I seem to be paying for it. I have just enrolled her in preschool and I even stay but I have to be outside in the waiting room. Now not only does she cry before i drop her off but the night before talks about it and frets about it all night and even cry's. She is to the point she is stressed and always asking me "Am I going to preschool tomorrow?" then if I change the subject or answer her yes she still...
