Any advice for pinching?

My two-year-old who is not quite communicating yet is now pinching when he is upset and on occasion will bite if he’s mad enough. Seems to be out of frustration, but I’m struggling to figure out ways to correct it. (We do not hit him even if it’s “just a tap on the hand”)

Are my baby's arms just for decoration?!🤣

When should my little girl be reaching for toys? She will hold things for a little while if I place them in her hands but she has absolutely no interest in grabbing things herself. She is mesmerised by sensory toys and will stare at them, smiling and "talking" but has no interest in reaching for them! She reaches f...

What do you say when your son says, "I hate you!"?

He says it a minimum of 12 times a day. This morning, I told him how that makes me really sad when he says that. So his tally marks in the last 5 minutes is 28 I-hate-yous. It's seriously lost its initial shock at this point, but it's ruining my overall mood for the day. I'm just a deer in headlights when he says it...

Tantrum after tantrum

Is anyone’s 2 year old having tantrum after tantrum? I’m exhausted and I’m also 34 weeks pregnant 😅 anything he plays with, he has a meltdown and throws it.

Is anyone else's baby bitting,hitting or smacking stages yet?

My son is 21 months and he is always biting or hitting me. (Not to mention I'm pregnant with baby #2) So that could be some of the cause. Anyone have any tips for me? I do the timeout chair and the playpin but that's about it.

Should I be concerned ?

My daughter is 3 and doesn’t respond to her name, she rarely speaks clearly it’s like a grumble, she never makes eye contact, she will not interact with other children, not interested in her toys she would rather clean them away, she is super hyperactive like she can be up until 4am and wake up at 6am and still be w...

Toddler tantrums

My boys favourite response at the moment is no and is so defiant to anything I ask him to do. Every time I think the tantrums couldn't get any worse they do 😩 it is so intense at the moment and it seems like the slightest little trigger sets him off and I'm just feeling really overwhelmed with it. Anyone else in…

My 2 month old keeps putting her hands in her mouth. Lots of hands to her face and month. She’s very smiley and giggly. She pushing the milk away to eat her own hand or eating her hand after a feed so I know it’s not hunger cues. X
