Am i tripping?

I get being present with a baby/toddler can be alot but.its also fun. Why does everyone just put tvs/tablets/and phones to kids instead of actually engaging with them!? That's what babysitting is. I'm not judging moms, which choose to do so. I'm complaining about those who do it to children knowing the parents prefe...

Tips for traveling with my 12-18m

I'm planning a trip with my LO next year, he'll be 13m by that time, and he'll probably be walking as he's already very mobile now. We're taking long haul flight, and I'm coming back with him alone as my partner wont stay as long as us. I heard 12-18m is a difficult age to travel with, as they're full of energy ...

Toddler who throws and hits

I have siblings close in age. Little one is in a throwing and hitting phase. I try talking, redirecting, and 2 min timeouts, nothing works. I tell the others to run away but at this point should I encourage to protect and defend themselves? I was taught to stick up and defend myself. What is the best approach nowadays?

Improvement in toddler’s behaviour after stopping TV

Help please ☺️Any examples of reducing screen time or banning it completely and improvements in your toddlers behaviour e.g. more manageable tantrums?

Would you be upset if your kindergartener (5 year old) came home and said her music teacher made the whole class do wall sits for being too loud in class??

I don’t think an elementary school teacher should be trying to teach lessons through physical punishments like that. And I don’t want my kids to associate working out with punishment so young. Maybe a gym teacher could but idk?? my husband thinks I’m overreacting when I said I feel like we should email someone about...
