Hello, I hope I can get some great tips for my 8 year old son. He hates everything! He hates it before he tastes or smells it. He will not try anything, when he does he puts it in his mouth and spits it out. It is such a battle and has become a huge problem. Well I guess I can say he loves peanut butter and jelly. But I dont feel he should get his own way and eat that all the time. Any suggestions?

My almost 6-year-old has been pleading for a Nintendo DS or the Wii, like all his cousins and some of his friends have. My mother-in-law really wants to get him one for his upcoming birthday, but my husband and I are not sure we want him to have one. We're concerned that even if we restrict his usage of it, it will be addictive and he will be less interested in his usual activities --- reading, art, t-ball, scooter riding, music, imaginative play, etc. He's the usual energetic kind of boy but we love that he has a creative and...

My 9 year old has recently been diagnosed with ADD. Since the end of her 2nd grade year she began getting notes and we had conferences about her daydreaming, talking, raising her hand to ask questions that had nothing to do with the discussion. This has gotten worse as she is now in 3rd grade and she would get a note at least 3 out of the 5 days of the week. She is loved by all and her teachers say she is so sweet and thoughtful but she would not focus, daydreams, she still asks off the wall questions at school and many times she just...

I am having a dilemma over what to do with my 3 year old. We just went to the ENT doctor today who said we should have tubes put in because of my son's problem with continuous fluid in the ears. He said they would remove the adenoids at the time if they need removed. I am positive they will need removed because he has had trouble breathing, especially at night, for awhile now. He mentioned his tonsils as well, because they are very large (they touch, and are rated at 4 on a scale of 1 to 4). I am very nervous to have his tonsils...

Hi ladies! My 6 year old started complaining about severe stomach pain in the middle of her belly two nights ago. She didn't eat dinner and was really tired. She fell asleep so I figured it was just a virus. She woke up at 5:30 that next morning (yesterday) in terrible pain and with a fever. She didn't want to walk, couldn't stand up straight well. We went to the ER and she had a temp of 101, pain that went down to her right side and the doctor immediately started talking about appendicitis. He had her sent out for an ultasound but said...

Wow, where do I start with this question. First a little background. I have a 7 year old girl who was diagnosed with ADHD in December. She is now on meds that has helped a lot but I think still needs some tweaking. She is now able to at least sit at her desk in public school for a short period of time and know that she has a task in front of her to do. Her teacher says that she is doing better but still needs a lot of reminders to complete a task (before she wouldn't even start a task). The school is wanting our authorization to have her...

Hi everyone. I'd like to start by saying that my 6 year old is such a pleasant, beautiful kid. Over the past several months, we have noticed the worrying get out of hand. We have had to pull him out of activities due to his little fear of bodily injury. He was losing sleep anitipating when the next activity was going to be and would count the days. We felt it wasn't worth all that anxiety and decided to take him out and telling him (we didn't quit), but it was his choice when he will be ready....giving him control. As I have been...

My husband and I have noticed that our 7 year old who is in the 2nd grade has reverted back to bed wetting. We have noticed that for the past month it has occurred more then 5 times and the last 4 nights in a row. We have cut off liquids fairly early. We have even made attempts to wake our son up in the middle of the night, to go to the bathroom and become very discouraged when we find out he has already wet the bed. My husband becomes very angry with our son. As a mother I tend to let our son know its ok, and tell him it was an...

I am looking for some suggestions on OTC items or remedies to help my 7 year old's runny nose. It seems like he has had a runny nose for years. I have asked his doctor about it and he just seems to think that its nothing and it will go away. Well it doesn't, it's not infected just runny. He is tired of blowing it and wiping it and I am tired of always telling him to take of his nose! Help, any suggestions on what works best?!?

My soon to be 8 year old (March 20) daughter has always written things backwards. She used to write her name in mirror image all of the time. So not only were the letters backwards they were written from right to left. In kindergarten I asked her teacher about it, and the teacher said it was still quite common at that age. In first grade I asked the teacher about it, and she said that since my daughter was not failing that the school would do no testing on her. Finally, I found out I could pay for testing through the Child Studies...

Confirmed by the dentist. Saturday he got a fever, I did not think much of it, but the left ear has been consistantly higher than the right when taking his temp, this also hapens to be the side that the "pointy thing" was on. So my question is this.. do you think the fever is just a product of teething (heat from the tooth breaking through), or do...

My 7 year old daughter has had high fever (102-104) since monday and wiht tylenol/motrin it will go down to around 100. She is on a z-pack with today being her last dose. On top of the fever she has whooping cough and has had ongoing break out of hives. We went to a local ER and her chest x-ray was clear and urine was clean. No one checked her blood pressure or did any type of blood work. They diagnosed her with bronchitis and sent us home with an inhaler--which has not helped anything.

Our 14 yr old terrier mix has had a heart murmur for a couple years. It makes her sort of cough and choke when she gets excited. Lately it seems to be getting worse. At the time that it was diagnosed we put her on special food for a while, but she dropped some weight and started doing better and we were able to take her off of it. The only other thing the vet could do for her was to put her under anesthesia and give her an EKG. After he explained the only purpose for the EKG was to get a baseline reading to be able to see how much...

My 7 year old is still wetting herself at night. I have read all the things saying that this is normal and I am cool with that (although my husband really struggles with it).
