My niece was the same way at the same age. Maybe it's the change table? I don't know. But if I change him on the floor he twists and turns and crawls away.Sierahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400261364355225044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594730359868958705.post-71250433085050755282009-03-17T01:31:00.000-07:002009-03-17T01:31:00.000-07:00Oh my GOD - you fed your son McDonald's?

At least Aaron will have the company of my two, who as you know also chomped down on a Happy Meal this weekend.<BR/><BR/>I think it sounds like you're doing a very good job in considering his needs and what's best for him. And I'm so glad you wrote that Aaron battles you on the nappy changing - Nick does too, and I hadn't written about it because I didn't know anyone else going through it and felt sure someone was going to tell me I was doing something wrong. So thank you.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236724715757740367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594730359868958705.post-74210943999887678612009-03-16T18:49:00.000-07:002009-03-16T18:49:00.000-07:00Thanks for the encouragement.

I try to let him know what behavior is accepted and what is not by my tone of voice. If I say “no” sternly he usually cries. I am not sure if it is because he is being told no, not getting his way or if he is scared. For the most part he is a happy boy, unless you take something away that he isn't suppose to have.Sierahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400261364355225044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594730359868958705.post-86325166305993080762009-03-16T16:50:00.000-07:002009-03-16T16:50:00.000-07:00I think you will make it through. You know what y...I think you will make it through. You know what you don't want to be and that is good. Personally I think the best thing you can do is be consistent with whatever you choose. I did this with the preteens I taught. It took some time but after a month or so they knew exactly what to expect from me. I was consistent. I know that tons of "experts" say that children need boundaries and rules and consistency. It sounds cliche. But I have seen it work. It worked for me with one of the hardest aged groups of kids. Where those boundaries lie and what the rules are depends on what you want. I might be really strict about something you think is no big deal and vice versa. That's okay. You have to do what works for you and your life.<BR/><BR/>You will make it. Your son knows that he is loved and that is important! :)Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578068462865685060noreply@blogger.com
