My 17 month started hitting herself from last 2 months. If I say no she starts slapping her on legs or tummy. If she is angry she does same. Sometimes while drinking bottle milk, she is calm but hits on her head...I don't understand why she is getting used to slapping. Is this normal behaviour? It's disturbing me at least... Is this is not normal, what should I do to get rid of this habbit. Thanks in advance.

My son who has know just turned 5 has still been having accidents on the potty. I recently made him a chart and it has been helping. Now his preschool teacher has suggested he might have ADD. Now I am analyzing his every move and in worry that he does have it. He still acts like a toddler and gets into things. Also he does well with puzzles and playing by himself which I heard is also a red flag. I always thought he was just active like my older son who also doesn't sit still. How do I know if this is just his personality or I need to have him check out for ADD.

I am divorced for a short while, after being separated for several years. My 16-year-old daughter is awful to me and she yells "I hate you" and even curses at me even in public. I am sure she blames me for leaving her mom, but my other two children (boys, one older and one younger) seem to be dealing with the divorce fine. My problem is that I have no control over discipline. I would never speak to anyone the way she speaks to me, let alone a parent. But since she doesn't live with me, her mother is the disciplinarian and always with my daughter. And I don't believe that my daughter speaks to her mother or anyone else the way she talks to me. I love my daughter, but I can't let anyone, especially not my own child, speak to me in such a terrible way. When I can pick the kids up, she never wants to come, but the boys and I have a good time together. I don't know what to do.

How can I motivate my messy teen to clean up his room?

I am a single mother trying to raise a 13-year-old boy. When I caught him stealing cigarettes and booze, I grounded him, told him I contacted to the sheriff, took the door off his room and explained to him that the decisions he is making now will affect the rest of his life. I have absolutely no idea if this is going to make a lasting impression. How can I know if what I am doing is making a difference?
