[ - ] Very important stroller question: I have a 4 year old and a 15m old, and need a lightweight stroller for my younger daughter as my wife takes the subway (or a bus with the right folding stroller) to school. We are boring Maclaren people as the XT and Volo both worked for my older daughter. Looking online, I see 3 options: globetrotter, triumph, quest. Mostly, we are looking for something light, as my daughter is getting a bit bigger (and too big for the Bjorn). She occasionally naps in the stroller, so recline is a bonus. Any guidance appreciated. 7 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

I agree, for the most part. I guess a better way is asking: is the globetrotter sufficient for reclining to nap? It appears quite a bit lighter, which would be a big plus. Unfortunately, the Volo was too flimsy for my daughter to nap in. She was pretty uncomfortable. [ Reply | More ]

If you have a step stool so they can get up on your toilet, I'd skip the little chair for now. I feel like kids get used to what they know.

I have a standalone and a potty seat, both from Baby Bjorn. DC is 3 now. The toilet we have is a little too high. So even with the steps, he'll still need help getting up and down. Whereas standalone, he can go by himself. So standalone will help in potty training situation. I think either one is fine. Start with toilet seat first, cause you'll need it in the future anyways.

You should never have used pullups - what kind of school allows an un-trained 3YO to attend? Keep him home until he can use the toilet. Don't show frustration - just no pants at home and no underpants at all until he's got it down pat. At school they should be taking them all pretty frequently so there's really no reason for accidents. Underwear feel like pullups to a kid who isn't fully trained. Next time start at 2 and you won't have this problem. They're all ready by 2 - we were all trained much earlier. [ Reply | More ]

OP here. I haven't missed your point. I agree that it's possible your son doesn't ask for snacks because he's never had the option, but I also think that it's quite possible that you're not seeing how much your success with this depends on who he is. My son has always been a big eater and thinks about food ALL the time. I try to curb snacks because I agree with you, but it's a constant battle. And I don't want him to develop a complex about food being denied either. This is not the case with my other son at all. SO if you just had my less snacky son, you'd think you were doing great with keeping to the plan, and you'd pat yourself on the back. I'm just saying, before you start judging and assuming, take a look at your own child and ask yourself how much you REALLY had to do with what is happening. My kids sleep really really well. I think sleep training had something to do with it, but when I see all those parents struggling with kids who wake up a lot I'm thinking, wow I got lucky, not 'those parents must suck.'

NP here. I adopted a young 3 year old. When I first got her, she has very bad eating habits (foster loves her so not attachment issues). Foster will let her graze on junk all through the day. I decided to change it. Healthy, filling breakfast (think oatmeal and not cereal). Fruit or plain yogurt as snack twice a day. Healthy meals. Nowadays, she knows when the food will come, and when to wait. So, yes, that 10% is important, and parents should be responsible. I'd even say it's more than 10%. [ Reply | More ]

Absolutely! You might be able to use just a little coconut oil or similar [ Reply | More ]

np. I use just a few drops of olive oil in DCs hair. Tames those frizzes so well without looking super oily. [ Reply | More ]

yes. use hair conditioner in the bath. if it's very curly, some people just use the conditioner as a cleanser and skip the shampoo itself. i would never bother with hair products before they use it for themselves. [ Reply | More ]

Nexxus Humcetress, it's the best!! Wash hair, rinse, towel dry - leave in the Humcetress. It's kinda thick, so do not use a lot. GL!! [ Reply | More ]

THIS - i have been using it for over 20 years on my frizzy, curly heair!! i use it on dds hair all the time! mostly a dime spot worked into the hair, makes it easier to brush and keeps the curls nice with a spray bottle of water. [ Reply | More ]

My dd is the same age and I use a light cream gel. If I don't use anything it's too frizzy [ Reply | More ]

OP: Thanks everyone. I need something for in between washings so I'll try a gel or oil. It looks fine right after washing but washing is always a major battle [ Reply | More ]

[ - ] How do I prevent my son from being bullied/pushed around? He is small in stature for his age and I want to teach him now how to protect and stand up for himself. I also don't want to be that helicopter parent in every situation, but of course want him to know that I am watching out for him too! 18 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

THIS. My kid is small, so enrolled him when he started K and he breaks boards, kicks, spars. Not introducing him to fight, but build confidence and defend. [ Reply | More ]

my DH was bullied... he said they didn't stop until he started hitting back. sadly, it's the only thing that works. bullies are like dogs, they can smell fear. you must teach your child to be fearless and to have the balls to self-defend, when necessary. when they know that he can deliver a painful blow, they will leave him alone.

Don't be a heli mom and don't manufacture issues. Deal with it IF he gets pushed around. It's much more about personality than size. [ Reply | More ]

If there is a bullying situation, alert the teachers. Helicopter mom is a term invented by lazy parents. There is no such thing as too much love and care for your kid. [ Reply | More ]

Disagree. Helicopter moms solve problems FOR their kids vs teaching/allowing them to so,be the,selves. This is often harder and more painful (for the parent) than just going in and fixing for your child [ Reply | More ]

Is he being bullied or are you just anticipating? Honestly, IMO kids with high self esteem don't get bullied, I'd worry more about that then his size or knowing how to fight [ Reply | More ]

OP- It's not actually happening. He's only two, but I worry because he is smaller in size and I am already seeing other 2-3 year old sizing him up and being more aggressive towards him. Some, not all kids. On a couple of occasions an older boy has pushed him down by his face. [ Reply | More ]

You're 'seeing' 2-3 year olds sizing him up and being more aggressive because he's small? Honestly and truly, no snark, this is YOUR issue and you're transposing it onto your son. You need to find a way to stop this in your own brain now or you're going to create an issue where none exists. [ Reply | More ]

how old? The best and only way, always, is to punch the biggest, meanest bully in the face as hard as you can, with no warning, but it does bear some risks [ Reply | More ]
