zavansky Also, you can start at any age you feel like to just sit them on the potty and get them used to the feel of it. I've also heard it suggested to sing a song with them or something when they are there to keep them happy with it.

zavansky Thank you for this advice. I was just worried because the doctor told me a year ago that it was already shifting her teeth and jaw a little. It is a year later and I can see a real difference. She has her thumb in her mouth all the time. I can actually see...

zavansky In that situation, he would probably ask me to take the lead, I would be submitting to him by taking the lead then.

zavansky Well, I'm glad I'm not the only Mom who is dealing with a stubborn child who loves thier thumb. It seems to me like she is almost adicted. She doesn't even realize that she is doing it half the time.

zavansky The way it was explained to me is that I should express my thoughts, but leave the ultimate decisions up to him. He is also supposed to do his part by loving me "as Christ loved the church." This is supposed to stop husbands from "taking it too far." I'm not...

zavansky Yes, but I am not sure what to do because she will demand my attention by acting out. More and more drastically until I give her attention (at this point it is negative attention.) I am wondering if maybe she is adhd?? Guess I would have to take that up with...
