What is the best approach to go about after my toddler keeps hitting😔 he’s recently started hitting me, his dad, his little brother. He is non verbal so I think it can be a mix of frustration but it’s also pushing boundaries too. I feel awful because sometimes I shout it hurts or he does it hard on his little…

Please tell me I'm not the only one who is having a hard time with their 3 year old. I feel like pulling my hair out daily. She is either grumpy, hangry, bullies her younger sister, or simply doesn't listen. I love that child to bits but man she does get on my nerves a lot lately 🙈😅

My daughter has just turned one, and it’s like she wakes up and chooses violence at every opportunity. She can be the most loving little girl but every day without fail she will bite me, pinch me and changing her nappy is now a challenge every time she screams throws things and kicks me in the chest. Is this a pha...

My little boy is in nursery and everytime he goes he comes back then is really poorly. He spends half the time not attending. Does this improve??? Does anybody know because It seems constant 😵‍💫

My 5m old keeps making grunting sounds. Is anyone else’s LO doing this? I am not sure why he is making these sounds as he doesn’t appear to be any distress.

i’ve been noticing lately that my baby will cry when others hold him (other than me and his dad) for longer than 2 minutes. anybody else’s baby crying when others try to engage with him? — if so, any advice?

My son is in the beginning stages of steps and frequently stands and steps on his tippie toes. I got hard bottom shoes, sock shoes, stride rights and every step is the same. Any tips or advice? Will this be something he grows out of? How bad is the tippie toe walking?

Are there any bubbas that are still not crawling? We’re at 9.5 months now and he gets so frustrated there are times he will continuously try and other times he won’t bother. He wants to be on his feet or bouncing, but he’s not trying to pull himself up and we still don’t put ourselves into seated position, only when...

My LO recently started hitting/smacking the side of his head/face with his hand, mostly on one side. Is this cause for concern? Is anyone else going through this?

My boy has started hitting us when he gets tired. He gets really upset if we say "No" in a strict way etc, or even if we say "ouch that hurts". Does anyone have a better way of dealing with this? Thanks

Hi all, I m very concerned of my 3yr old, who suddenly stammering when talking or asking something Has any of your kids experience this *at this age? Please help 🙏

Hi ladies! My daughter is 28 months - as of now she says roughly around 200 words and can form a couple of sentences - “I like that” “that’s mine” “I love you” “what are you doing?”. Her doctor says she perfectly on track with her speech. She does understand a lot as well (like directions etc) My issue is that wh...

Since my daughter has turned 5, she's been horse playing way rougher than usual with me. It's like she's aiming to physically hurt me when we're playing. I asked her why is she trying to hurt me and she just smiled and said "I'm not". She's the only child and only plays with other kids at either school or when my n...

My little boy is still flapping a lot when he is excited. This tends to be his arms/hands. Is there a way of deterring him from this or is this still normal for this age?

Is arm flapping normal? I feel like my 9 month old has just started doing it randomly. On its own, I don’t think I’d be worried be she does a lot of other things that I’ve seen could be linked to early autism (?) so now im confused as to what is just developmental and what I need to be looking out for 🤯😔

Is this normal and how long does it go on for 🥹

Trying to count how many words my boy has got, what qualifies as a word? Because I u stand quite a few “words” he says but I’m sure nobody else would 😝 Also how many words expected for 15mo?

My 7mo has started shaking his head, is this normal? I worry so much he’s reached all milestones so far but haven’t read anything on this

She recently turned 1 but for the last 2-3 weeks, she just seems constantly unhappy & grumpy. Always whinging, crying, super clingy. Nursery have even mentioned how she seems to be unhappy with everything in the world. Is this just a phase?

My almost 2 year old is delayed with expressive and receptive language. She doesn't listen to me or anyone. We've tried positive reinforcement but she doesn't care. We've tried removing things or her from situations, she doesn't care. I just want to be able to keep her safe and have her be decently behaved. I know s...
