I'm an 18 yr old guy and was set to start college this fall, but eight weeks ago my mom died. I have a one year old brother. My Dad runs his own business and works 50-60 hrs per week and is in a mess. He took some time off, but he asked if I could postpone college and take care of my brother while he sorts himself out. We don't really have any other family close by who can help.
This is going to be his first full day back at work and my first day alone with my brother and I am getting more and more nervous about it. I don't know anything really about parenting and stuff. Any advice?
right don't leave him alone in the room if oyu can help it or if you do have to leave the room put him in a playpen, when he cries first check his nappy, then see if he needs a drink or a snack or try to put him down for a nap. i used to have a routine by the time my kids were 1 which was..
morning wake up at 7, nappy change, breakfast, play
10:30 am snack, change nappy, play,
12:00pm lunch, change nappy, nap,
2:00pm wake from nap, change nappy, drink, play,
5:00 pm dinner, bath, warm milk
in bed for 7pm
i hope this helps you good luck and don't hesitate to email me if i can help you in anyway xx rediff.com US edition: Why is Kissinger scared of the Mahajan ::

It's really very simple if you keep to common sense.
If he starts crying, check the basics.
Is he hungry?
Is he thirsty?
Is he bored or tired?
Does he have a wet diaper?
Offer all of these things and change him if nothing else works.
Sooth him by playing with him, trying to make him laugh or just holding him. He could be lonely, sad or scared.
Remember to put him down for a nap -- you'll recognize when he gets tired, he'll start to wobble and sway, heavy eyes, you get the idea. Put him down for at least a few hours and you can do something quiet while he's sleeping. They almost always wake up hungry, so prepare a meal for him, too.
Offer him lots of toys and some TV if he has something he likes, or a movie he enjoys.

I send you my deepest sympathies for your mother. It's terrible to lose someone you love, and I only hope that your brother will be raised knowing she loved him as much as you and your father do.
Good luck.
I am sorry to hear the lose in your family. I say to do what the person said ahead of me and also if you can get the little one into daycare...do it a few times aweek so that you can have some time to yourself. Maybe you can take some online college courses in the meantime. Make sure dad gets to see you and your little brother often by stopping by where he works from time to time or having special meals with him and if dad is not spending time with little brother make excuses from time to time so that he has no choice but to spend time with him. If you know dad has some free time tell dad you have a friend with an emergency and to please keep little brother with him until you get back. Then go spend time with friends but call in often.
Tha very nice of you to take care of your brother and help your dad out! I am really sorry to hear about your mum!!!
1 year olds are lots of fun! just be sure to give him good healthy food becasue sugary stuff will make him go crazy and its just better in general for him!!!
ask yoru dad what time he needs to have a little sleep in teh day and take him for a walk in the pram and go to the park, or maybe he likes watching the wiggles, and just play games with him!!!
just get your dad to write down a list of what he needs to do in the day and let him know you are nervous and i am sure he will help you out!!! good luck and email if you haev any questions.... good luck and just relax and keep and eye on him all the time!!
Iâ ™m sorry you lost your mom. I hope your dad pulls things together quickly so that you can get on with your education.
You will do fine. Just keep your eyes open and remember that it only takes a moment for a little one to get into trouble. They have no fear and donâ ™t understand that the world can be as dangerous as it is fascinating. When my 1 yo hides from me the first places I check are the most dangerous ones. Doors, water, electrical, stairs or other things he can climb onâ ¦ Half the time I head off in a panic (like in the store today) and heâ ™s standing behind me. LOL Try to balance attention (reading, play, learning games.) With some time for him to explore and play alone. (With you keeping a careful eye on him of course.) When he plays with something new ask your self is this safe? If itâ ™s small enough to pass thru a toilet paper roll itâ ™s a choking hazard. Is it long enough to wrap around his neck? Could he fall on and get stabbed. My son loves to pick up pens and run off with them. He grabbed a pan lid out of the dishwasher, ran with it, fell and cut his face. Accidents happen even to the most careful caregivers. Just donâ ™t panic when they happen with you. Have a list of emergency numbers handy and donâ ™t be afraid to use them, even if your not sure you need to.
When he gets to be a handful and you wonder if you can do this stop and take a deep breath. Try to remember that you are both doing the best you can. When I feel frayed around the edges I stop and thank God that I get to feel this way. But I went thru many years of fertility treatments and I had pretty much given up hope so I realize what a wonderful gift a spirited child is. Challenging, but wonderful.
When Daniel is fighting sleep I use the computer to calm him down. youtube is my friend. Music soothes many babies and the most magic music Iâ ™ve found is Gregorian Chants. Another website I use is a learning site at starfall.com.
I could write a book. If you want to send me a message with questions or for support feel free. Good luck ~ Patti
Just when he starts crying try everything.
Walk around with him
feed him
check his diaper
everything besides lose your cool.
Have fun and remember that's your brother he loves you just make faces. Its going to be okay
