How many words can your toddler spell out? My 2.5 yr old non verbal atm. But can recite the alphabet. He can also spell out some words. This isn’t a bragging post it’s just for fun to see how all our babies are doing🥰

He doesn’t say the alphabet properly he just uses their sounds.

15 month not talking/clapping

I’m really worried about my 15 month old. He doesn’t wave or clap doesn’t talk and very rarely answers his name. He doesn’t understand basic instructions like give me the ball etc. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve called the health visitor who keeps telling me he’s still very young and to just wait. Is she right?...

Hitting younger sibling

We have really been struggling with our 3 year old hitting his younger brother. We’ve tried praising the positive, ignoring him when he acts this way and focussing our attention on the little one and having time out for bad behaviours. None of which seem to work. It seems to be when they want to play with the same t...

Tantrums?

Does anybody have a baby that absolutely screams the house down the minute they’re the slightest bit unhappy about something? I honestly cannot believe how loudly my baby can scream/cry. A new one is the temperature of the milk from the Tommy tippee machine, it’s now too warm and he only likes cold 😩 it’s getting…

Calming techniques

How do you calm a toddlers anger? I am getting burnout from these outbursts basically all day. For example, he has a straw cup and the straw folds down, he can’t lift it up and instead of asking for help or asking for his drink, he throws it across the room and starts screaming as loud as he can and cries and cries ...
