This post reminds me of the crazy times when our two children used to snore. They were loud, especially when our boy snored! We were alarmed when we had our first child. Then we checked with our friends and relatives to see if their babies snored – and they did, as well. I want to say it’s pretty normal. But if this really concerns you, please check with her doctor or an ENT to put your mind at rest. My best wishes to your family.
I’m sorry that you’re struggling right now. Honestly, I don’t have much to say as to why your little girl could be crying. But I think you might find this information (http://bit.ly/1YQi3oZ) useful. My prayers are with you and your baby.
Please seek counseling. I know that Focus on the Family can provide a free phone consultation with a licensed counselor if you call this number 855-382-5433. One of them would be in a better position to offer guidance with regard to your situation. I’m praying for you and your family.
All of us learn through imitation. Our little girl and boy always begin with “please” and close with “thank you.” We lead by example. And, we always need to remember to be consistent in our behavior, especially in front of our kids. You might find this Q&A helpful -- http://bit.ly/29qHGyH. It talks about how you can teach your children to be respectful. I also have a great book suggestion if you think it would be useful. It’s titled, Raising Kids with Good Manners, by Donna Jones. You can check it out here -- http://bit.ly/29yLcVS. I wish you the best.
I know this too well. Our 4.9 year old would roll on the ground and cry just because she didn’t want to apologize. Whenever she resorted to such behavior we had her sit in the “naughty corner” – the time-out area. Have you tried the “time-out” form of discipline with your son? It took us a couple of weeks to establish this form of discipline, but it all worked out.
You’re definitely not alone. I know how exhausted you must be because your situation reminds me of our little one. Take a look at this link about toddlers restless at night -- http://bit.ly/29aMx6I. You might find the information of some help. Hang in there! It will get better, momma *Hugs*
I’m not writing out of personal experience, but I surely know that it’s not easy to parent a child who battles ADHD. I'm sorry that you're stressed out, but it's good to read that you’re planning to make an appointment with your doctor. You may also be interested in the book -- Why A.D.H.D. Doesn’t Mean Disaster, by Dennis Swanberg and Diane Passno. You can check with your local library or an online bookseller. I’m praying for God to comfort you. (Hug)
