Is it normal?

My baby has throwing his head back, like hard enough to throw his whole body back and hit the floor, whenever he gets upset. Like when I tell him no. And then since he hit his head he starts bawling. Is this normal? If so any way to get him to stop doing it?

Shaking hands

Can someone tell me if this is normal? She doesn’t do it all the time and is always alert. It seems to be when she’s happy or frustrated but i don’t know if i need to be concerned?

5 started fake laughing

Please tell me this will pass, my 5 y.o. started fake laughing and it's driving me crazy with how grating it is! I haven't told her she can't because theres no harm, but internally it's like nails on a chalk board. I just wish she'd go back to her real laugh, that's what I want to hear because it's just her

Whining phase

When does the whining and complaining phase end. My little one literally follows me all day whining about everything. I'm aware this phase has a while to go but for those with older kids when did you find this phase ended?

Banging head

Does anyone else's 17m old purposely bang their head? She got frustrated and started banging her head on the sofa, then she does it on the door, I think sometimes she thinks it's funny, we tell her no and try to move her but she gets frustrated when we move her away, any advice would be appreciated ❤️

Is my little one delayed or am I a bad mum?

I need some help 😔 My little girl is 18 months old, she’s still crawling, she walks alongside furniture and is taking steps here and there but not fully walking. She only says mama, occasionally dada but not saying anymore words, just babbles away to herself. She will not touch food or feed herself, we have to do…

3 year olds behaviour

Anyone else really struggling with the behaviour of their little ones? My LO will behave brilliantly at nursery but then as soon as we get home they are really challenging me. They have stopped listening to absolutely everything and just being really ‘naughty’. Does anyone have any tips? Reward charts and getting ou...

Clingy

Hi! Is anyone else in the same boat, of extreme clingyness from their little one? I timed a gap of how long she wasn't on me, touching me or next to me, and the longest was 10 seconds! She will not play by herself, she won't sit by herself, she won't sleep by herself, I cant even go to toilet without her stood next ...

3 year old behaviour

How is your 3 year olds behaviour? I honestly feel like I’m at my wits end. She never listens, her tantrums are ridiculous over the silliest of things, she’s cheeky, answers back all the time and has started telling lies. I’ve tried gentle parenting, time outs and consequences where we don’t go out if she’s misbeh...

13 months

Anyone else got a screaming banshee? This piercing noise is new and is driving me and dad absolutely crazy! I don’t know why he’s suddenly crying like this. Anyone experienced the same? Also he’s been waking at 11pm and then is up every 20 minutes. I’m not sure we can survive this for very long!

My daughter still can’t do 2 piece puzzles

We haven’t tried any bigger ones. Her speech is great and she is doing great in all other areas, just wondering if normal? She does not try for long and does give up quite quick. She can do the puzzles like the wood ones where parts fit into the board

How to get GP’s to take baby pain seriously? Our little one will be happy and smiling and all of sudden start crying a high pitch scream

My motherly intuition is that something is wrong but of course he is a baby. But how can he go from 0-100 so quick. I’ve never seen this in other babies at my baby classes. We don’t have a light cry. I’m almost sure he’s in pain

Smacking lips?

Is anyone else’s little one smacking their lips a lot and blowing bubbles? Is this typical behaviour? I just read online that it’s linked to ASD?
