I don't have kids this old yet but honestly. I'd sit down with her and have a good talk..she's at an age i think where she's just feeling insecure slightly clingy and attached to you (possible abandonment issues from dad?) and terribly ignorant about things within sexual nature.

she's 13 so i think its time you talk about sex with her in terms of how it's something adults do. How those toys are for you and that it doesn't mean you need a man. Humans just have basic needs and theyre totally healthy, sex is healthy not disgusting just as long as you are careful with your partners and friendships are healthy too and that if she loves you she will have to accept that you need friends in your life and not just her though she'll always be number 1. How she needs to stop being so nosy and just trust you as momma and respect you more. You need to bring this stuff up as well with her therapist assuming she still goes to one. And i agree with other people this isn't healthy. You two need to have hobbies, friends and time for yourselves, boundaries and rules definitely need to be set in place, she can not keep trying to regulate what you can and can't do like she's YOUR parent, and you need to stop feeling apologetic over it. I think the only good thing i see is that she feels comfortable enough to ask you things, thats great! Because most kids wont talk to their parents at all and ask their friends instead. So make sure when you talk to remind her that you love how she can come to you to talk about anything and that's why no matter who comes and goes from your life and hers that you'll always be there for her.

Also i plan on getting these for my daughter when she's older around your daughter's age, she's still a little one though so itll be a while :)

Absolutely not too early to start teaching proper names for private parts. Who Has What? and The Bare Naked Book are both great age-appropriate books that you might take a look at as well.

I really like The Care and Keeping of You for puberty/emotions/growing up. I'd love one that addressed sex, birth control, and LGBT though.

The Who Has What book already linked is great, my kid also has the Bare Naked Book which she likes to look at sometimes (she's 3 in February).

Don't get squeamish about the kid knowing the word penis or whatever. It's just a word, and it's a correct word for a body part that like 50% of people have. My kid talks about them sometimes like this: "he has a penis" (regarding her dad when he changes for the shower). Or sometimes "When I'm big I'll get a penis" because at the moment she really wants to be able to pee standing up lol.

They're gonna think words for genitalia are hilarious for quite some time so just get used to that :) it's better to not think the words are taboo though.

Here are some of my favorite books that deal with children who have diabetes/work for that age group: #1, #2, and #3.

In terms of snacks, I recommend talking to the parents either via phone, email, or in person. Each child is different, and their dietary needs are very personalized.

Check out this one, we like it a lot.

These books were great when I was growing up. They break down all the steps

Your lexicon is narrow. You should take a look. Purpley is a word. It's part of the title of this book.

Agreed, it's all in the framing. She knows that you want her to use the potty. Eliminate that from the equation.

As "minicpst" says, the best message that you can give is, "when you're big, you'll know how to use the potty". If grandma/friends ask how she's doing, jump in and say, Oh, we're waiting until she's bigger... then she'll know how to use the potty"

Your daughter will over hear all of this, and you know what she'll think? What's that sucka' saying' bout me?! I don't KNOW how to use the potty. I'll show her!!!

I also recommend the kids book by Dr. Sears:

PIck up several books from the library if you can and read them regularly.

She is not at all "old" for being in diapers. I know tons of families who struggled through age 3. It's just annoying for the parents b/c it seems like they should be able to use the toilet. And, they can - whey they think that they are deciding to do it themselves.
