So I just found out today that my son (18 months) has had no time to play outside at all at nursery, bear in mind he’s there from 8’ish to 5 so it’s a long time to go without having any fresh air! When I asked why I was told, “because of the weather…” which I personally think is absolutely ridiculous! Being a teache...

Hii so i am looking for advice or ideas or programs to homeschool my 18 month old. I know they learn through play so maybe some ideas on how to teach her while playing? She can recognize her colors, says over 150 words and has full conversations with you. She can tell you when shes hungry/happy/sleepy. She knows her...

Hello all my son will be 3 in a week and he is mostly non verbal besides for random words but he does not communicate verbally.

Hey! I was wondering if someone could tell me what happens at Smile Babies, Baby Welcome and Early Explorers Surestart classes. My baby is 3.5 months old and I really want to start bringing her to classes more often. I'm really anxious about going alone though even though I'm sure everyone will be really nice…

How do you handle situations where other kids are mean and hitting at play groups? There is a kid at our play group that has been there the last couple times we've gone and he has grabbed toys from my son and today he hit my son. The mom yelled at him and made him apologize but he continued to be very aggressive wit...

Our little tiny humans are growing so fast. Any idea what you guys want to do for your little ones first birthday?

After a long day, spending the evening stopping her from climbing the coffee table, tv stand and stools is exhausting

Yesterday, the preschool hosted a Christmas party where all the parents attended, and the kids performed group songs and dances. My child recently transferred to this school last week and wasn’t part of the singing and dancing group. I know he’s not interested in these kinds of activities, and that’s completely fine...

When is a good time to fly with an infant? I read most airlines allow free travel under the age of 2. I’m thinking after his 16 week immunisations to be on the safe side. We all fall more susceptible to getting sick after 2-4 hours of air time and I would like to avoid that. Any thoughts / experiences welcome 🤍
