So, as some of you might know I have 2 kids 2 boys. Javier is 2 years old, turns 3 in May and, Adrian is 5 months. Now first Javier, where should I start, he fights sooooooo much with other kids and sometimes for no reason, he will just go up to the kid and hit him or kick him or whatever he feels like doing? Sometimes I dont know what to do, its like geeze all the kids mom are going to gang up on me, I mean I know that they are just kids pero como quiera. And, I dont know how or when for that matter to potty train him. I've tried those pull ups pero nada que ver. And I ask him you know if he wants to go to the bathroom and just with that he starts screaming. My mom says when he is ready he will start on his own pero its like I want him to go to preschool, and you know, hes a big boy now so I dont want to change pampers till hes 5. So, if anyone has any suggestions bring them my way...
Now, Adrian on the other hand, he's such a good baby, hes always smiling and laughing...he's a happy baby. The only thing is he when hes sleepy he like to cover his face with the blanket and I freak out all the time. But if I take it off of his face he gets pissed.. Pero, I know I just have to keep a watchful eye on him...
So, if anyone has any tips I wanna hear them....

While we don't have any kids of our own, throughout our marriage we've had at least one of my siblings' kids with us (not complaining). They have taught us alot and I think by having them with us, we'll be better parents, so here's my advice. For some kids spankings work, but as my parents say hay que tener pacencia. For some kids, that's all it takes, but for others, like your son, it takes other methods. Potty training isn't easy and doesn't happen overnight, it takes time and patience, BUT you have to be consistent. If I have ever learned anything it's that you have to be consistent. You can't do it today and not tomorrow or just this morning. Since he is a boy ask an older male to help out. When you at least get him to go, praise him, let him know he has done good. As for fighting, you will have to get on his level and explain that fighting is wrong, but don't set yourself up, don't tell him hitting is bad or fighting is wrong and then spank him-do you see how you can confuse him. Don't hit but I'll hit you. Let him know if he does it again that there will be consequences and tell him what will happen, but follow through, when he does it. Take something he enjoys, a toy or something like that. If you tell him you're going to take it for 2 days then do it, don't give it back after 10 minutes because you don't want to hear him cry. As for your younger son, just check on him, we all have different sleeping patterns, but start on him now so you don't have the same problems as your younger son. Good luck and I hope this helps! Please do let us know how things are going.

I think personally that it is better that this is happening now when you can help, and guide him. I also think you need to find out the reason for his behavior, for example does someone play rough with him,where he can learn to be mean? Does something hurt him in his body, which in turn makes him irritable, making him more likely to lash out? I think you are getting some excellent advice from all your Juarol family. Here are some good links on taking care of problems with small children. Just remember "to not send mixed signals," everything is either right or wrong, " sending mixed signals are one of the biggest problem causers in life," to learn right from wrong, there must be " a consistent and clear message," once a kid or an adult sees a person who gave an order waver, or soften their stance, its over they won! Its important that he sees there are no in betweens. One last thing if all else fails, Have a priest bless the house, with holy water and prayer just in case, to remove any negative energies that were left there by the previous renters or owners. While he's there you may as well get him to bless the children to, I know its hard to use tough love on kids when you have a mothers soft beautiful heart, but its better they learn now than watching them suffer later in life! I grew up without the tough love I needed, and there is not a day that passes that I do not regret it! But just don't forget to show lots of love, and reward the children when they are good, this reinforces the positive behavior! Aka the carrot and the stick, Lol.
Good Luck!& God Bless you!

Guerita, was this happening before you had your youngest baby, or has this been going on since you were pregnant, or had your baby? I'm wondering if it is his way of lashing out because he wants attention. I had one of the kids with me, and it was just us two, but when I got married, oh my gosh!! Talk about lashing out for attention. Just a thought. Yes, you will feel bad, especially when your baby cries after you've discipline him, but he has to learn, good job, and good luck! How's your little baby doing with the blanket?
