My 3 year old daughter is not a morning person. I make her go to bed for 8:00 - 8:30 p.m. I have to fight with her just about every morning whrn I wake her up at 7:00 a.m. She screams and pulls at herself for hours. She doesn't give up. Sometimes she screams for so long that she is soaking wet by the time she does calm down. I tried a punish stool but she seems to like it. She asks to stay on longer. During her tantrums, she even looks scary. I don't know what to do with her. My husband doesn't have as much trouble with her as I do. I am much stricter with her. I take her things from her to punish when she doesn't listen. I don't know what to do anymore. Help!!

My son is 21-months and takes "gym" classes every friday at his daycare. He loves it and comes home excited, trying out his new games. His teacher says he's terrific at it and quite fearless. What we love about his classes is the unstructured structure (if that makes sense) and with the focus being on having fun rather than competition. Now, since my son loves this activiy so much should my husband and I consider putting him in one or two additional classes outside of daycare? If so, what's right: a gymnastics school or one of these kids places like Gymboree or Little Gym? I'm worried about these places being overly structured.

My husband is excited about getting our four-year-old son involved in a variety of sports. He has signed him up on a hockey team twice per week and enrolled him in skating school, and now wants to look into swimming lessons. Our boy just started pre-kindergarten and I’m worried that school plus all of these new activities will be overwhelming for him. How much is too much at age four?
