Even though we have touched this subject once before we didn’t really go into it thoroughly. Tantrums are a part of a toddlers make up! You may see yourself constantly telling your child "Your gonna have time out if you don’t stop your tantrum," or "You are not allowed to have this toy if you keep it up!" My daughter can sometimes seem like the queen of tantrums, however I have noticed that she is beginning to understand that this phase isn’t right. When I point out to her that her having a tantrum is going to get a favorite toy or movie time taken away for the day she automatically stops! My daughter loves to be rewarded as all children do even if it's just her telling her that she did an awesome job! Or that she is a good girl! How are some of the ways that you deal with your child and their tantrums? Are the tantrums getting even better or worse? Let’s chat!

Jamiee's Story
"Hi my name is Jamiee and I have to say that I am becoming very addicted to your blog! Lol Anyway here’s my story. My daughter Alana is three years old and I am trying my best to get her to become fully potty trained. So far she has been getting the notion of “I have to go to the potty.” She goes but when we are in public she is terrified! I can’t even attempt to get her to go to the bathroom. No matter how much I try to calm her down it’s like No Way! Lol So I was just wondering if you or any of your readers had any advice on potty time outside of the home? Thanks!
Hello Jamiee! Thanks for the compliment of my site and for sending in a question! For starters it is very normal for children to be more comfortable in the home rather than in public. You didn’t state whether your daughter was comfortable using the big toilet at home either so I’ll start it off this way by saying try to get Alana use to the big toilet at home first before using the toilets elsewhere. If Alana is not use to using the big toilet don’t force her as that will only set her back and you obviously don’t want to do that. Alana will eventually start using the big toilet and it’ll come naturally to her.
However if Alana is already comfortable with using the big toilet at home then I would suggest you to buy a portable potty seat for when you leave the home to use on the big toilets out side of the home. Try singing songs, holding her while she is using the potty, and just try to make it as interesting as possible for her ok. I hope this helped and please feel free to write in anytime with a question, or even just to say hello!
Disclaimer: Please remember that these are my opinions only and I am in no way fashion or form a professionally trained doctor/psychiatrist etc. If you choose to take my advice you are doing so on your own accord.

Your One Year Old Said What... F@#!?
A few months ago while in the park with my daughter. I overheard a little boy use profanity with a male passer by. He called him a B$@#!, the man replied "How old are you and where are your parents?" The boy stated that he was 5 and continued to use profanity as his younger brother possibly no older than 2yrs. old witnessed and repeated what was said. The young boys mother practically congratulated him on speaking this way and cursed the poor man for even speaking on it.
It amazes me how some people teach their kids so much negativity as if that's cute. A 2yr. or 3 yr. old cursing is not cute nor funny. Yes they may be learning, but what they are learning it's not positive at all! Teaching a child to disrespect others and themselves in the process is only leading that child in the wrong direction. What are your takes on situations like these? Please be honest and respectful of others. Thanks!

White Tongue...
This one is for the mothers with newborns! You feed your newborn put him or her to sleep. The next day when you wake up your baby is extra cranky. You start the daily feed and realize that your baby tongue is white. Most mothers think its just milk build up and can go away if they wipe it off of baby's the tongue. Not true! It's most likely a form of colic. Which can make your baby irritable and cranky! Have any of you experienced this? Let's share!
