Hello everyone! I am a mother of a healthy 3 year old boy! And feeling proud to tell you that he is growing up to be a wonderful sweet boy. He always tell me that he loves me, and we always exchange hugs and kisses. He is very close to me, but I am happy that he is not too dependent. I enrolled him last school year into a Toddlers Playgroup and during their Culminating Activity, he got 3 awards (Most Creative, Most Cooperative and Most Cheerful)

Wow! That's amazing! Love that he got those rewards. My son is 2 and a half and went potty for the first time yesterday twice and has already gone a couple times today! I am super proud! It's amazing to watch them grow and change and learn.

Exactly, actually my son has not used diapers even if we are out for a couple of months already and I am very happy. He now always tell me if he wants to use the bathroom. Sometimes it makes me scared that kids these days seemed to be growing faster. But I hope my bay grows up to be a modest and fine boy!

That's great! I cannot wait for the day I do not have to buy diapers anymore! YAY! Hopefully, this summer we can get him completely potty trained. Any specific advice to keep him going in the right direction?

What I did was always tell him wetting his pants gives me more work because I get to have lots of pants to wash and he just believes it. then every time before going to sleep i always make sure he takes a pee. and also know the usual time he does his bowel movement. When you know what time he usually does that just let him or her on the toilet. That's what I did to my boy.

I am really proud of my son. He is very sweet and easilt to get along with other kids. I teach him to love his playmates. I can hear his prayers before we go to bed, praying for our guidance. God hears to their innocent hearts and I love him very much.

That's nice. It's good to teach them good values at an early age.

Your 3 year old son sounds amazing and the toddler's group is lucky he goes there. He did ever so well to get the awards. His future looks very bright and happy. He is close to you in a sweet way and quite indepedent too. So that is a wonderful combination. My 3 year old disabled son has his 4th birthday next week. In the last year I have been proud of his language development. I like his happy go lucky nature and the fact that he is a gentle little boy. I am delighted that he can skillfully self propell his wheelchair. I imagined he would go in a special needs buggy that I would be pushing. I am excited about September when he will join primary school.

It's nice to hear that he will go to primary school already. I am sure he is excited just like you. Kids nowadays are very easy to teach, they could actually grasp everything easily. That is why as mothers should be very mindful or our actions as well because we are their first teachers. Thank you for your response. May your son enjoy school and you as well..

achievements. other parents should always understand when a parent is being proud because of his or her children's achievements. not every child is an achiever. it is kind of a definition of how you as a parent supported and helped in the growing years.

That is wonderful. I hope it lasts for a very long time. My daughter is all grown up now and she has treated me worse than dirt under her feet since the day she was born. I want a relationship with her so bad but all she does is use, lie and abuse me verbally.

That is really sad. How can she be that rude to you? I feel bad for you, children should love and respect their parents. Just hang in there, i hope she realizes what she is doing! Good luck to you. I hope you feel better.

It's good if you have a good son or daughter who got a several awards in a school. Teaching in a school is a non-stop learning process until college but in our house we should not stop teaching our kids the good moral and they must know also the other side, the bad habits. Inheritance is playing a good role in kid's life.
