What's been the weirdest or most jaw dropping thing your child has done in public and what did you do?

I'll start..... we were grocery shopping and a dark man walked into the aisle we were in and my almost 2 year old walked straight up to him and pointed saying "Black, black..." and just stood there staring... I basically camouflaged in to the sauces behind me. He also occassionally likes taking a peak into my top a...

What is your parenting style with your little ones?

I’m curious as to how other mom’s handle their children when they become defiant. From tantrums in public, throwing things, to just not obeying, I’m curious.

How can I get my baby walking again??

My daughter, who is almost 16 months, started walking around 15 months (yay!). About two weeks ago she had some flu-like symptoms (fever, runny nose, cough, very sleepy) and since then she’s wanted absolutely nothing to do with walking. Took her to the doctor who said that she may have had swollen joints in response...

Diaper changes

My little one is 14 months old and he still absolutely hates having his diaper changed. He will scream and cry and kick and try to get up. I have tried everything. Pull ups, singing, giving him toys to play with during changes, giving his something to eat or drink during it. Nothing is helping. I’m so exhausted by t...

Baby hitting his own head

Recently I noticed my boy’s behavior of hitting his own head when he want to show his frustration. For example, when he wants to open a kitchen cabinet and I stopped him from doing it. Is this normal behavior? I am concerned 😟

Shy boy

Hi! As my 14 month old is growing up, we have observed he’s rather shy around people. He doesn’t smile or sometimes even make eye contact. He’s also a bit clingy to me in general even at home. While I don’t think it’s a problem I would love to hear ideas to socialise him better, better at his interaction skills.

Terrible 2s???

How are we surviving these 2 year olds?! I sometimes feel so alone, like I’m the only one with such a challenging toddler. The defying, not listening, doesn’t care to be told off when doing something really wrong?! Please tell me it’s not just me

Toddler hitting

Does anyone have any tips on how to stop their toddler hitting other children? It seems to come out of nowhere!! He’s 2.5 and has a tendency to snatch/push/hit other children. I feel like we’ve tried everything including “gentle hands”, naughty step, time out, deep breathing, not reacting at all, re-directing but no...
