Saw a post that said children are either tantrum children, or are not. Is this true?

Said something along the lines that kids are born with a tendency to have tantrums or they aren’t, and some children don’t really have them at all. I previously understood that tantrums are just a part of every kids development. True or no?

When did your baby start walking?

Tips on getting my 11 month old walking? We try everything. Walkers , holding his hands and waste while standing him up. He stands up on his own perfectly. He just refuses to take steps.

Baby “losing” skill or gesture

Please tell me this happens and it doesn’t definitely mean the scary neurological things I’m reading about! My little one is 14mo now and scored low but within normal for communication skills at his 12mo review. 2 months later he stopped waving which he was obsessed with, one of the few gestures he used. Now does ...

Patting babies butt?

I feel uncomfortable when my father pats my babies butt. Is it normal for people to do that to babies butt? I get it, it’s cute but like why? I just don’t like it but I don’t know if I’m just being overly sensitive. When my mom does it I’m fine but like I just feel uncomfortable when my dad does it when she’s playin...

Animal sounds..

Shouldn’t my baby being saying animal sounds now? He is 17 months and does not say 1 animal sound yet. He is not in day care so I know him not being in a learning environment hinders that but I just feel like he should understand some sounds by now. He says other words like hi, bye-bye, mama, dada, go, ow, wow, no, ...

18 month old hitting

So my baby just turned 18 months old and definitely having tantrums. I’m having a hard time managing him when he’s angry and hitting, if not throwing himself on the floor and rolling around. I have tried the ignoring method and that does not work. He just keeps hitting until we give him some sort of reaction. Especi...

Son not pointing and not talking, not giving to show

He is just babbling. He is very socially engaged, has good joint attention, loves playing with us, listens to some commands though his understanding could be better. He doesn't have other significant developmental red flags. He is walking, running, climbing etc. Should I be worried?
