He is a "fly by the seat of his pants" child. Totally fearless and hits new things head on with no trouble at all. He is very seldom sad-the last time he was sad was when the neighbor dogs killed the cats at my moms house (appx 2-3 months ago or so?) He does NOT sleep well and never has. He only started sleeping through the nite when we moved into the house we have now. He was always sick as a baby and spent the first year almost continuiously on antibiotics for ear infections. Hes also very small--hes about the size of an average 4 year old. I dont think he feels he has to keep me happy, I stay pretty happy all the time, but I cant work the buttons in his little head. He always feels like he needs to take care of someone or something and hes very very caring towards everyone. He has alot of friends at school but never wants to go to their house.So, the first thing to do is to figure out what he is unhappy about. Is he an anxious/nervous child? Does he get sad often? Does he look forward to visiting his dad? Does he sleep in his own bed without fear? Does he feel like he has to protect you by being happy or by keeping you happy? How much one-on-one time do you two spend together...does HE feel like he gets enough undivided attention from you? How are his relationships with his peers? Are they nice to him or does he get picked on? Does he have a few good friends or is he a loner? etc...
They have helped me out on a few other issues with my cats and all worked very well..I thought surely these people are moms too and would have some advice on thisI would have never thought to post this problem on a cat site, but why not???
I havent even begun to try to get them potty trained at night. They both wear pull-ups to bed and take them off immediately when they wake up. I tried letting him wear them during the day for the sake of laundry, which is when I was slammed with the previously posted comment about their non-leaking ability.I have heard many times that a lot of boys take longer to be fully trained. I have 2 girls and they were each different. My first was very easy and once she was trained there were no accidents. My second would wet the bed many nights until the age of 8 or so and a homeopathic remedy put an end to that, which was only given a 50/50 chance of helping.
