My three year old grandson told me his step father hits him and pushes him and throws ?
him when my daughter leaves the home. Makes him stand against the wall and extend his arms and bend his legs for timeouts. I have seen him tease him, belittle him many times myself. He will encourage his half brother to hit him and laugh. My daughter refused to believe her son and my son in law of course claims the three year old is a liar. My grandson begs me to please talk to Mommy and tell her to ask Daddy not to hit him anymore. I need help please. My daughter has never chosen a decent man and believed all the men in her life, all losers and she is not a good Mom. DCFS says they need proof. Any advice from anyone please?

My 3 year old is SOO SHY?
My daughter just turned three and she is very shy. She's an only child. Even at the playground she doesn't want to play with the other children there. She talks to my family members but she never talks to my friends. How can I help her come out of her shell?
Spanking a 3 year old for a potty accident??
I had the same problem with my x. Our son would wet the bed when he stayed over there and he would punish him for it, I got so frustrated with it that I printed out facts as to why they cant help having accidents and I gave it to him. Children of that age cant feel when they have to go potty when they are sleeping because their bodies grow faster than their bladder at that age and don't know that they did it until they wake up and realize that they are all wet.Giving my x this information made him realize that our son couldn't help what he was doing. Punishing a child for something that they cant help only makes the situation even worse. Stress and many other reasons can cause a small child to wet the bed. Just go to webmd.com and look up bed wetting, print out the facts and give it to your x and if things do not change then you should tell him that if things don't change than you will report him to DCFS. Beating your 3yr old child with a belt is considered child abuse, if you know that this is going on and don't do something about it right away you can get into trouble as well. Call DCFS and tell them that you just found out what was going on .
Child too "immature" for 3 yr. old preschool class?
(Sorry in advance, this got longer than anticipated.) My daughter just started a two day a week (2.5 hours a day) preschool program at a local church. Last year, I had met the head teacher who had been there for 15 years and had a great feeling about her. Really warm, inviting and kneeled down when she said hello to my daughter. Well I found out on Parent Orientation night that Ms. Katie was not there anymore. The lady, who is there now, introduced herself and I just got that mediocre feeling from her. She talked more about her Master’s Degree than what kind of experience she has teaching preschool, probably because come to find out she has only taught in elementary school. Alright...fine, not a deal breaker. First day of school parents stay with the kids and its circle time. My daughter loves stories, absolutely loves them. This lady is far from animated and kind of just mumbled her way through the first couple pages. My daughter pretty much gave me the, “Screw this; I want to go play with that kitchen.” I then spent the next 15 minutes bringing her back to the carpet and asking her to listen to the apparently ‘vanilla’ story time session. It disappointed me that I apparently had the kid who couldn’t be kept under control by even her mother but felt like they might have a game plan ready for when it was just them handling the kids without parent interferance. So, I picked up my daughter from her official first day and asked the teacher how she did and she kind of grimaced and told me she threw some gravel in the air at the playground and she was not interested in story time. She also said she was not sure my daughter was mature enough for preschool yet based on not responding to story time. WHAT???? I thought one of the goals of preschool was to GET them used to being in circle time and following instructions. Do all kids automatically know to sit in circle time and participate for 15 minutes? They’re three! And plus, don’t most preschool teachers have some tricks up their sleeves to help coax a child in behaving properly. And not to mention, it’s the first day of school. Talk about not even giving her a chance. Did anyone’s kids have a certain level of transition when starting preschool and isn’t the first month beneficial in teaching the kids the proper routine? Is it common for kids to excused from preschool for stuff like this? Please help me!
