How do you speak during meltdowns?

My son lost his shit over a firetruck today and are first I was calm and sat with him, then he started kicking it and I put my finger up and said in a very direct voice ' I don't want to see you do that again '. He cried more. He's been kicking and throwing a lot lately and idk how to manage it. I have a fear of tra...

Tummy time/ crawling/walking

My baby is 7months and she just doesnt seem like she is bothering to attempt to crawl or walk and absolutely hates tummy time.

Am I silly to worry about my 2 year olds future?

My son is almost 2 and he's shown signs of ADHD since he was tiny. Even when he was in the buggy from age 6 months he was windscreen wiper his legs back and forth constantly. He's never slept through the night. He hates going to bed and falls asleep very late and wakes all through the night. We've tried everything...

Crawling- how do you get anything done?!?!

My LO is very close to crawling and can already pull herself along army style at quite a speed. My flat is falling apart around me. It’s like a downward spiral, the more chaotic it gets the more I can’t take my eye of her, the less I can get done. It’s driving me mad! How does anyone do this? (Also she loves food ...

Fussy baby

Anytime I put him down he just fusses and wants picking back up, needs constant attention, can't seem to focus on playing with a toy for longer than a minute before whining again, just a bit erratic really. No other signs of teething other than dribble so unsure if to give calp...

Scared baby will fear bugs?

So I live in a garden unit, if you don’t know what that is it’s like a basement apartment…but higher. They’re common here in Chicago bc they raised the ground level so all the 1st floor apts became garden units. Anyway, they tend to have lots of spiders, centipedes and stuff like that. I sprayed when I moved in back...

Knowing ABC's & 123's

When should a toddler know his/her alphabet & counting? I'm starting to stress out that my daughter is falling behind. She's 3 & knows half the alphabet & can count to 5. Then sometimes when I try to count with her, or do the alphabet she'll want nothing to do with it or refuses to repeat the letter or number out loud.
