[quote=Anonymous] To the last poster, we haven't used a stroller at all in over six months, he walks everywhere. I've tried implementing the plan the last two days, with disappointing results. Both times he was laid in bed, all cozy, and read to, in a slow and monotonous voice, with the lights dimmed. Both times he seemed to be getting close to falling asleep: yawning a lot, droopy eyelids, etc. but both times, even though I dragged the reading out as long as I could (with two lengthy books it lasted about 30 minutes), he still didn't fall asleep and went right back to jumping in his bed and yelling as soon as I left the room. I also dragged him to the playground in 30 degree weather and made him go up and down the slide many many times (and did my best to get him to run around and jump, too) for a couple hours both mornings.p

I know it's silly to expect any miracles right away but even just a slight improvement would be encouraging.

I feel like giving up on this kid, honestly, his mom feeds him too much sugar and refined carbs (I don't when Im here, and I've asked her about it before and she insists she doesn't but I know that she does because he calls the "cinnamon flakes" with 16g of sugar per serving "his cereal" and is always asking for cookies and chocolate, and they go through a big box of cheddar bunnies every week even though I never let him have any, and his mom makes him waffles for breakfast most mornings).

Thanks again for the tips, they were helpful but I'm afraid it's a lost cause for this one. [/quote]
