Giving advice

Post by Pablo S. » Fri Aug 12, 2011 4:21 pm

The baby problem that is presented in this unit has a clear answer of the three given:

If you can, adapt your daily routine to your daughter’s emotional demands, but follow your instinct.

1.Our four-year-old refuses to sleep in her own bed. In fact, she won't sleep anywhere unless she sleeps with us. We have tried everything and we are desperate.

You might consider asking a paediatrician and explain the problem to him.
It may be time to take him out (remove him from) your bed with care.

2.My seven-year-old son has never been dry at night. My friend says he must have some emotional problem and I should take him to counselling.

You could talk to a psychiatrist about this problem.
You might consider placing a waterproof sheet in his bed.

3.I have a five-month-old baby who I have been breast-feeding. Recently I started her on solid food, but she eats very little. I am worried that she is not getting enough.

You may need to breast-feed her again.
You may need to introduce solid food gradually, so that the baby will get used to it.

4.My two-year-old boy gets uncontrollably angry and starts screaming at the worst possible times, like in the grocery store.

You may need to face up to the fact that the boy is genetically bad tempered.
It may be time to spend more time whit him at home.

5.Our five-year-old often talks obsessively, and does not seem to listen when spoken to directly. What’s more, he seems to get easily distracted when doing the simplest task.

You could consider asking a specialist because it could be a case of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
You may need to give him medication when the specialist recommends you do do it.
