Liona Spryte Children are not immune. Children can still go through it. Children can die as a result of stuff like this. (If anyone had bothered to take me for treatment when I was 8 I would not have tried suicide when I was 10, 13, 14, 16, etc.) Listen to your kids. Know your kids. OMG Liona! I hear that! We've been told that my daughter may have early-onset bi-polar disorder. I hate nothing more than seeing my children in pain. cry I'm sorry that you had to go through that.

Hey you're not a bad parent! They go through their needy phases. I can't remember how old Ben is (bad on my part!) but he might be going through seperation anxiety?
I know there's several methods, I think I did a cry it out and check on him kind of thing when he would get clingy like that. I'm sure there's a technical term for it, but I forget.

fletchen badloki I will mention the honey-bath thing to him and see if that helps ease it any. Also, would anyone know what may trigger this? The dryer northern weather? Stress? Clothes washing detergents? Etc? Hi Loki, Here's what I know.... wink People with eczema sometimes have asthma or allergies, too. The skin seems to be more sensitive to chemicals. Stress is definately a trigger! Food allergies (like eggs, milk, wheat, soy, peanuts) can worsen eczema rashing. Allergies to pet dander, smoke, chlorine, perfumes, scratchy fabrics (like wool) and dust can also be triggers. We use perfume-free and dye-free laundry detergents because my son gets really rashy from detergents. He prefers to wear cotton clothing, too. The dermatologist told me to avoid itching, since that can break the skin which can lead to bacteria getting in. And it's better to take warm rather than hot showers, because the hot water can aggrivate the condition. Flare ups can also happen from sweating and then chilling (going from indoor heating to frigid winter temperatures!). More info > Health Central- atopic dermatitisThanks fletchen! VERY helpful info and link! I will pass this all on to the hubby ^_^.

*hugs* for you Yuna. I know it's so tough to sit there and listen to them cry but knowing you can't do it all the time either. I hope it gets better.

*gives Yuna a HUG for being strong*
I think giving parents the encouragement when they try something new is extremely important too. For a long time we all focus on the encouragement of our kids... but we all deserve some credit for raising our children the best way we can.

thanks Bryde Girl, you're right, we all need encouragement, not only with our children, but as parents, encouragement from others certainly helps!

Angelique~Yuna thanks Bryde Girl, you're right, we all need encouragement, not only with our children, but as parents, encouragement from others certainly helps! You're both right! And welcome back, Yuna. wink I have to get to sleep in a few minutes. But I wanted to give a quick hello and an update. Time to gush about my kiddos! heart Robert performed in the 4th grade spelling bee today. He did very well, but was eliminated on the word "perpendicular." Of course, the next 3 participants spelled "perpendicular" wrong as well (there were only 7 contestants this morning, representing winners from each class). I think he was glad that he didn't have to spell "chauffeur"... Emme was a real trooper in the play this weekend. I was really impressed with her acting ability. She performed in two shows on Saturday. (I don't know how she does it, I would have been a nervous wreck.) But she loves being on stage so I encourage her to perform if she wants to. wink I'm proud of all of my kids! heart On the downside, I had a consultation with a surgeon on Monday who strongly recommends that I have a biopsy of a 3-1/4 inch mass in my breast. It's not a lump, it's an irregular-looking area that showed up on a mammogram. [I only had the mammogram after telling my OB/GYN that I still had some milky discharge (my youngest is now turning 5).] Anyway, the trouble is they don't know what it is - so they want to biopsy the entire area. crying Hubby thinks I should have it done, but I am really dreading the idea. I don't want to do it! scream

Angelique~Yuna i hope everyone had a great weekend.....i'm back! things were good.....this morning i'm having a super tough time with ben.....i feed him, changed him....played with him for awhile......and now he's crying nonstop because i'm not holding him.....and i'm trying to get himself to calm down on his own......everytime he sees me, he stops crying..*sighs*.....it's so hard.....i want to pick him up and hold him so he stops......but i can't keep doing it........ I hope Ben is doing better tonight. I hate watching the little ones cry. My eldest would cry as an infant whenever there wasn't much "stimulus" around him. He craved it! And he hated sleeping in his crib. I remember every time hubby and I would try to put him down in his crib he would instantly wake up as soon as his head hit the mattress. sweatdrop And, he just didn't want to sleep in the crib. Of course, I always felt awful about trying to make him fall asleep in his crib - especially since he had reflux. gonk
