Stressed 😢

I know babies learn things at different rates but I’m so stressed out I’m up all hours of the night trying to find an answer 😢 my 15 month old seems to be delayed in a lot of things. He’s not clapping or waving but he does high five. He rarely answers to his name and has no words just occasionally babbles mama. I…

Do 2 year olds lie, maliciously?

Hey guys I'm posting incognito because I've came across my sisters on this platform, don't want them going back to my mother about it before I get a chance to approach her. But anyways, the past 3 or 4 weeks now my son is point blank ignoring everything I say when he normally listened beforehand. He'll listen to hi...

My little boy crawled for the first time last night, and now he won’t stop, honestly it felt like such a proud mom moment. He was born the 29th of July, and I’ve seen other babies crawling for ages and he’s finally done it

How to raise a confident girl

My 16 month old is quite a shy baby until she gets to know people/has had time to warm up to them. However I see other babies that say say hello to everyone and are so chatty. Any tips on getting her more confident?

My son keeps saying he'll make us die

So my son has started saying things like I'll make you die, I'll make you fall in the floor, I'm gonna go and get lost or he'll make us get lost or lock us in a cage with animals so they can eat us. What can I say or do to get him to stop. I'm really fed up and it's obviously upsetting. He tends to say it when he'...

I don't know if I should be worried yet or not but my little boy (16 months) doesn't say many words at all yet. He can say mama, dada, yes and no, he seems to understand most instruction and what we say to him but otherwise he just babbles and talks gibberish? I find it really cute and funny but don't know what he s...
