15 month old hitting

Is anyone’s else little going through a hitting phase?! He will hit us even when he’s not mad, just trying to get a reaction. And I know part of it is when he’s trying to point and ask for something but we’re not understanding what it is he wants so he will hit. We tell him “no, we don’t hit, we use gentle hands” an...

Focus

My little boy is 3.5 and is very intelligent however his focus levels have completely deteriorated. If we ask him a question that we know he knows the answer to 9/10 he won't respond we have to get his attention and ask him again and then he will answer. Any tips on increasing focus levels?

Should i be worried?

My 17 month old boy can't say many words yet... and the words he does say, he confuses the meanings sometimes. Like to say fish he says ish and to say banana he says Nana. I'm just worried he isn't communicating as much as he should be by now

Sibling love 💙

This photo is progress! It’s not been the easiest 4 months with my 3 year old ( he is non verbal and currently being assessed for ASD) so explaining to him about a little brother was difficult! Although he can’t stand it when he cries or makes too much noise he gets rather upset about it! (My Fred is a chatty one ...

Anyone else’s kid super clingy these days?

I mean, I’m not one to complain usually bc my LG has always been a huge fan of her dad but these days? She’s literally my shadow. Wherever I am, she must also be there. If I’m going somewhere, she’s holding tight onto my clothes and follows me. Is this a thing with 1 year olds? I’m so confused

Mommy x 1000

My son has been nonverbal his whole life up until now and the only word he says is mommy and he says it 1000000 times in a row each time. I’m overwhelmed with happiness that he’s finally speaking but also a bit annoyed that he says it so much. Is it normal for them to say it so much?
