She’s showing no signs of hunger or tiredness but when she’s ready to go to sleep she takes the place down screaming until she finally falls asleep. She used to be such a happy, content bab...

Pram tantrums

My toddler just so screams when in the pram in the shops. I try to ignore it and other people staring but it’s hard work. Most the time I abandon the shop. Sometimes snacks and tablet works work but sometimes that’s not enough. Any advice?

My little boy has started stimming a lot

He’s 2 in may. I don’t know what’s normal but he does so funny things and make funny noises sometimes. Can this just be toddler behaviour if anyone has had experience with kids?
