Can your 23 month old sing the alphabet?

Hello everyone! Question. How does early intervention process work? I took my daughter to her pediatrician who said she needs it. Dr said she needs speech therapy and occupational therapy. She’s 2 year old and doesn’t say 50 words. Don’t know if it might be lead to a Autism diagnosis in the future. She had a scor...

I had my health visitor round last week to check on my 10-month-old’s development, and they scored him low on his gross motor skills. I’ve been worried about him not sitting up unassisted, but he managed to do that around 9 months, so I thought we were okay. The bigger concern now is that he’s not crawling yet, and ...

Baby turns 14 months and still not walking! Anyone else in the same position? Trying not to panic but hard when you constantly compare

Hey my LO is 11weeks and today he started using one hand to pull at his hair above his ear. Is this normal? Or could he be stressed? Anyone dealt with this?

I’m really struggling with my toddler. He hits, kicks, bites and throws when he is angry. He has no chill and I’m constantly battling with him. He screams when he is unhappy and doesn’t cooperate to get dressed, brush teeth, come out of the bath etc. Is this normal or have I just been blessed with a difficult/naug...

My LO keeps nodding his head left and right as in to say no? Not sure but I always catch him doing it and sometimes he goes left right left right for a good few seconds. Is this normal? He's 9 months, am I just overthinking? Just sick and tired of comparing my kids to other kids and milestones really frustrates me

Any tips on how to deal with a (ruthless) hitting stage? I'm getting hit, pinched and hair pulled multiple times daily 😫 I have been firmly saying no, holding her hands palm to palm and telling her gentle hands etc. She just finds it funny. It's been going on for a few weeks.

Hoping this is a classic London Victorian flat issue that some people may be able to give some advice on! We live on the 1st floor of that Victorian terrace flat. My 2 yr old is in peak running phase and it's causing loads of thumping noise to the flat below. We have already tried putting playmats down across any ha...

I’m so drained, he doesn’t listen, laughs when I tell him off and thinks everything is a joke 😩 he’s recently starting hitting and literally screaming in my face in a…

Today we’ve been to a soft play and there was an older child who had autism there. There was an encounter with him and some child and my child saw it and kept asking why the boy was being naughty. He absolutely was not being naughty but I struggled to explain this to my 3 yr old son, I felt so embarrassed that I ...

My little girl is 17 months in a few days and she has had so many tantrums this week! No longer wants to sit in car seat/buggy throws a hissy fit for no reason sometimes? Is this just a phase.. please say it’s just a phase! Anyone else in the same boat?

We’ve had tantrums, clinginess, throwing himself back and arching his back when having his nappy changed, screaming in protest at things, screaming at bedtime, like what an earth has happened to my baby he’s so miserable? Anyone else in the same boat?

My girl isn’t counting yet or doing her Alphabet. She’s can repeat pretty much anything I say to her but she doesn’t know them on her own or understand them. She knows her colors well and has sentences. She talks a lot just worried about her numbers and letters. I bought her some number books recently but she really...

My little one doesn't seem to want to talk. He understands a lot of words but will not say them himself. All he really says is mama and dada but even those are rare. What can I do? Should I be concerned?

We have noticed this last week my little boy sits there with his fingers in his mouth, he’s done it in the past a couple of times and we have ignored it, but it’s got worse this last week. Do I say anything or ignore it? I suppose it’s like sucking ur thumb, maybe gives the same comfort?

Anyone else in same position my lb barely speaks he can say mama and dada some other animal noises never consistent never when asked and doesn’t babble much worrying why he isn’t he can do everything else he understands instructions go get shoes , shut the doors but no words
