What Should I Do About My 3 Year Old Daughter

2 year old daughter sprayed perfume in her eye what to put in it ?

try your best to make her hold still and keep putting put water and spray using a water bottle if have to but you literally want to flush her eyes with water and once youve did that enough times dry it and make sure she looks okay and the perfume smell wont really go away for awhile because water doesnt have a smell but dont suspect its not working because you can still smell the aroma and if thats not much of a help check it out with a docter good look hopefully shes okay

My 3-year-old daughter doesn’t want to go to school. What do I do?

I must answer your question with questions. They are very important questions. Your daughter is giving you gift: she trusts you enough to be honest with you and approach you with her honesty. That gift will serve you well as she grows up and the questions get harder. It tells you that you and she have a healthy attachment!Why doesn’t she want to go to school? Is she bored? Does she feel like they are pushing her too hard to be readyfor kindergarten in two years? Is someone picking on her? Does she like her teacher? Do the kids get to do their own thing at rotating stations or are they expected to conform and all do the same precut, color-in-the-lines activities? Is it too crowded or too loud? Too structured or not structured enough? When you go there, do you see the teacher with the kids? How does she act? How many kids to adults (ratio) are there? Do they force her to take a nap (is she past napping?)Can you go and observe, preferably without her seeing you? Are the teachers well trained/qualified? Does the school have any certifications?Here is an excellent resource for finding the ideal preschool and daycare:https://families.naeyc.org/find-...I ask the above questions from the perspective of a Parent Educator, someone who has worked in preschools and daycares (good and bad), and as a parent who raised two kids who were in preschool and daycare. At one, one of my children became so overwhelmed and frustrated that he bit a child. No one wants to be the parent of The Biter. He was asking for help. When the teacher and I worked together so that he was able to be less overwhelmed and have more structure, he never bit again. He was expressing frustration and was not able to use words to express it!Perhaps the place you are sending your daughter is not the right place for her.It’s also possible that the school is fine, she just doesn’t want to leave you. This is separation anxiety and it’s important to deal with it sensitively but not to give in. Perhaps your child can bring a family picture (cover it with clear contact paper and it will be waterproof, as well as harder to bend or tear) or object. Be sure to involve the teacher and have her/him there to take over with your child as you leave.Also be aware that developmentally, 3-years go through a brief return to separation anxiety. Even though it isn’t fun, at least you know it’s developmentally appropriate and won’t last forever.Check out:Separation Anxiety Age-by-Agehttp://your-parenting-matters.co...

My 3 year old daughter doesn't know her ABCs, is she behind?

My daughter is almost 3 1/2. She knows only a few of her ABCs, she can't sing the song right. She also doesn't seem to know her numbers either. She was in daycare up until the end of January. Now she stays home with me and we work everyday trying to learn them but she just gets up and does something else after a few minutes. I've worked with toddlers before, and I've seen some 2 year old who can sing the ABCs and count blocks or toys. Could my daughter be a little behind?

Anyone have a problem with their 3 year old daughter touching herself?

I recently caught my 3 yr old in a similar situation. I didn't see her actually touching anything but she had undressed herself in one area. I just didn't make a big deal about it and told her to pull up her pants. I said, "We don't do that, don't do it again." So far so good. Maybe just try not to make a huge deal out of it. Just tell her that "We don't do that, " and see what happens if you haven't already tried that. Little kids exploring themselves is pretty normal stuff. If she keeps it up tell her she's going to time out or a spanking.

My ex girlfriend won’t let me see my 3 year old daughter?

So I’m a 22 year old man and i have a great steady job right now. Anyways I have a 3 year old daughter by my ex girlfriend, we’ve been broken up for about 4 months now. Anyways since we’ve been broken up, she has moved in with her cousin and took my daughter along with her as well. Ever since she left my apartment, she has been ignoring my phone calls, I’m trying to get in touch with her because I want to see our daughter. It’s almost as if she’s trying to keep my daughter away from me. And btw I am a very good dad..I buy my daughters clothes..provide her with love, I take her to the park..I just do normal parent stuff. Do you guys think I should take my ex to court? I really miss my daughter

My 3 year old daughter has a 104 degree temperature...should I take her to emergency?

children can tolerate higher temps than adults, give her some kids tylenol ASAP and if it doesnt drop at all in a hour or two and her symptoms get worse then take her in. you can even put her in the bath with slightly cooler water than her body temp. but not much because it will feel too cold.. hope she is ok

What should I do when my extremely intelligent 3 year old daughter throws tantrums when she can't do something right on her first try?

Talk about your teachable moments!The last time we had an extremely intelligent 3 year old was 18 years ago, so take this with a grain of salt, but…Let her be upset, and be there with her in the moment. Big hug! Listen to why she's so upset.Prepare her for the possible outcomes in advance. “This might take a few tries, and that's ok. It's hard!”Let her see you fail and try again.Praise persistence and toughness.Teach her how to learn from mistakes. Show her that you examine failures and pick apart the reasons to make a stronger effort next time. After she's over the initial freakout, ask her what happened and explore what went wrong.Keep picking experiences that she can't always get right the first time so she gets used to overcoming failure.This one is subtle: In general, try not to make every trial some intelligence test that identifies how smart she is. That makes each failure into a debilitating statement of inadequacy. Try to stay in the mode that just solving the problems is fun and rewarding for it's own sake. (The classic example of this, to me, is those Hanayama puzzles. When I see them as fun, they are fun, and I can solve them. When I see failing them as an indication that I'm not smart enough, they are just maddening.)Bottom line, love your daughter and talk her through the difficulties and all will be well.
