I think the best answer is the 2, it is normal that the kids have this kind of behaviors but it is very important to control those phases with the purpose this phase become a typical behavior. Moreover, it is very important to involve the other parent for the baby understand the 2 parents have the authority to correct her.
What advice would you give for any of these problems?
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.
My advice is talk to her, make her understand that she is a big girl and she has to sleep alone. Another thing to do is when she starts to cry when you leave alone in her own bed, in some moment, she shall stop crying and fall asleep, buy you have to be strong and not go after her when she is crying.
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.
Not necessarily you should take him to counselling, I think is more valuable not letting him to drink liquids two or three hours before, and wake up him in the middle of the night and take it to the bathroom. In this way, he will start to have his night routine.
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.
It is very important to become the food moments in fun moments, present the food with colors, different shapes. In this way, she will start to eat more. Moreover, try different flavors and textures.
4. My two-year-old boy gets uncontrollably angry and starts screaming at the worst possible times, like in the grocery store.
Talk to him before go outside that you, as the mother, has the authority and he has to respect above all things. Also, you have to ignore him when he starts to get angry, he will understand that the world does not revolve around him. If the situation gets worst, you should reprimand him very softly but that he feels that you are the one who has the control.
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.
Add activities that require him to be focused. Also, you should take him to therapy, where he could receive some professional help that help him to control all that energy and be more attentive and focused.
