Hi there, I can use some help, My willful 4 year is constantly telling me "I hate you" and "it's not fair", when he doesn't get his own way. We use the naughty step for "unacceptable behaviour", but what is the best way to stop the constant rant of "I hate you" when even the simplest things don't go his way? We have tried to explain to him that this is not a nice or acceptable thing to say. Please advise.

A lot of new mums ask me about routines for their babies. By far the most common question I get is about whom should be doing the leading in a routine, the parents or the baby? The quick answer is, both. But it depends on the baby's age.

Can someone explain exactly how to use/do the naughty chair? We have begun using this process on our 3-year old son for about 1 1/2 months and it does not seem to be working. We put him in the naughty chair (which is located in our family room), we tell him what he did wrong and have him sit there for 3 minutes. Most of the time he cries and begs to get up or he slides out of the chair. Are we supposed to leave the room?

hi
my 3 year old daughter has just started at nursery and is going on the afternoon sessions. me and my husband have different opinions about when she should sleep.

hello. i am a first time grandma. my daughter and 10 month old grandson live with me. Anytime my grandson sees me and his mom is home he pulls up on my pants and cries. he wants me to pick him up. If i don't he goes from crying to full blown mad. He does this anytime i am moving around weather it be cooking or cleaning. If i set down he wants on me. i know he is to young to be manipulating me so he must be having feelings over something. does anyone have any idea why he is doing this!
