My brother's son is 3 1/2 & still on the bottle,binky & wears diapers.how do i convince them to get him off?
Answers:
You just can't let a kid get off this stuff himself or you could have a 10yr old still sucking a bottle for crying out loud,kids have to be weaned that's what weaned means!!try getting them a subscription to parents magazine,it will have a lot of advice about when and how to wean kids off diapers and everything else.It really isn't healthy to let a kid have a bottle at 3 or a binky,it can cause speech problems and tooth deformity not to mention it is much harder to wean a older child than a younger one.I have 3 kids and weaned them all at different times,the first I waited until he was 3 to potty train,it was a horrible experience!!My second,I weaned her at 2.My last,I had him off the bottle at 6 months and he never used a binky,and had him potty trained before he was 2,it was so much easier and I wasn't spending all my extra money on diapers and bottles because my kid had teeth and was biting the nipples off the bottles.You could bring it up next time you see them changing the kids diaper,say something like "When are you really supposed to potty train a child,anyway?"like you want to know.If you don't feel comfortable then let them decide,at least you have the common sense enough to know when it's right when you have kids(if you don't have them already)It is up to them,I'm sure they do know this needs to be done,they just aren't doing it.
