All my 2 yeard old daughter does is cry once we get home, I don't know what to do?

Hi, I am a mother of a 3 1/2 year old girl who is in a preschool/daycare full time. I have had similar problems with her... she is fine all day in school but is one crabby girl when we go home. Some people say that I am lucky because no one but me sees it ... but I beg to differ with them. I have found out that if I actually just come home, turn the t.v. on to her favorite show, get her a glass of juice and leave her alone (or "go") for 1/2 hour to an hour she is in a much better mood. I stay in the kitchen and start getting dinner ready. She basically sits on the couch and watches a movie ... it is the only time she watches tv for the most part... I think they hold everything in all day and try so hard to keep it together at school they just release it all when they get home in a comfortable place. Bedtime used to be a problem, too, but I found one thing that worked with the "call-backs" -- I made three special "tickets" and gave them to her every night as I was putting her to bed. Whenever she needed me or Dad she could use a ticket and we would go in, give her the kiss, hug or water - but she had to give me a ticket each time, and if she had none left we would not go in her room. Teaching her took two-three nights, but then she started to save the tickets for the middle of the night or just in case she needed it later... and now, about 6 months later, I don't even give them to her anymore - she goes to bed and only occasionally comes out to go to the bathroom before going to sleep.

Good luck - it is hard to break a habit for about a week, but it is definately worth it in the long run.

I have been a nanny for over ten years. I am now a mother of a two year old boy. I take him to work with me. There are days that I think he feels like he doesn't get the attention that he needs because of the other kids. It sounds like to me, that maybe there is just too much going on where you are living. Sometimes kids act up when they are on sensory overload. They really don't know how to express that, and if you keep asking her all these questions it might add to her stress level. If she is screaming tell her she needs to go to her room to calm down and then when she is calm you can talk about it. Some kids are just very stubborn and want things their way, but have no way of communicating it. I know that it is hard to stay calm when she is acting that way, but if she learns that she is going to be removed from the situation then maybe she will learn a better way of dealing with her frustrations. At bed time you need to let her know that she gets one hug and kiss from mom and dad and then it is time to stay in her bed and go to sleep. If she continues to get up or cry, then you just need to keep putting her back into her bed. I know that it is hard to listen to your child cry, but if she is not hurt then there is nothing wrong with her crying and learning the boundaries. You are the parent and you are the one that has to set up those boundaries. Good Luck!

She is not happy living with your friends. It actually sounds a bit scary based on her reactions. There are often places that you can rent monthly. I would move. Sorry, but I know lots of families have to do this sort of thing, but it sounds like there is a real problem for her in this situation.

hi, there is no longer something incorrect with tofu - my toddler loves tofu nuggets! All joking aside, I believe your healthcare expert. i'm effective by employing letting him consume regardless of he needs, he would not propose junk food. purely make effective there are basically healthful thoughts interior the homestead. maximum hotdogs/corndogs are loaded with junk and ingredients that are undesirable on your son, yet you will discover all organic, healthful ones. attempt issues like grilled cheese (made with finished wheat and all organic/organic and organic cheese - the processed singles are VERY undesirable!) and conceal some vegetables like chopped spinach or broccoli interior. categories of soups could additionally paintings; i think of my son would consume rubber if I served it in soup! All organic pizza crowned with lean meat and vegetables is yet another stable thank you to sneak in some well-being. attempt mac and cheese, yet no longer the boxed junk (until eventually you %. an organic and organic kind like Annie's, your toddler will purely be ingesting rubbish). selfmade mac and cheese is amazingly ordinary and decrease priced to make, and could be made employing healthful components. conceal some vegetables in it, like broccoli. My husband additionally places corn in our son's mac and cheese - it seems gross, yet he eats it! You mentioned your son likes to drink issues. you are able to attempt this particularly ordinary toddler smoothie recipe. purely placed a cup of milk, a million/4 cup of peanut butter and a chopped and ripe banana (frozen is stable, yet you additionally can use unfrozen) in a blender until eventually it quite is mushy. If the banana is ripe sufficient, you mustn't would desire to function any further sugar. you are able to upload a small volume of honey nonetheless, that's ok each and every as quickly as in awhile and is extra effective than sugar because of the fact honey aids calcium absorption. So in that one smoothie, he can get protein, fruit and calcium multi function, and toddler like it! Then in case you will get him to consume slightly toast of a few finished wheat crackers, he has his ordinary food communities lined. you at the instant are not the 1st parent to have a picky eater, so do no longer difficulty. As i'm effective you have heard, he will consume whilst he's hungry. And if he would not have the alternative of ingesting junk food, he will supply in and choose something healthful. stable success!

are you sure she feels safe in that house---?
