Toddler and Dog

Hello! My 1.5 year old thinks it’s funny to grab my dogs skin and pull it despite me moving his hands away, saying “nice hands”, demonstrating what nice hands are when petting a dog, and showing that it is not okay to do that. Whenever I move his hands away and tell him that’s not okay (obviously showing my facial e...

Autism

My baby is 8.5months, I’m a first time mother and I overthink about everything.. thinking majority of everything is a sign of Autism.. she’s flaps her hands out of excited which I assume most babies do until they reach a certain age. She’s not waving/clapping yet.. she’s not saying mama, dada or baba she’s just scre...

Struggling with behaviour

My daughter doesn’t listen to me deliberately does the opposite of what I say. If I’m calm she ignores me if I’m annoyed she laughs. I know this is a testing age but I am looking for some advice for people with similar toddlers. She has always been very strong willed, I wouldn’t call her a calm easy going child, so ...

Is it normal?

My LB is 2 this month and he’s having some tantrums where he will just cry and demand what he wants. He has also started to headbutt (not hard) and throw his toys. I find it very hard to watch and feel like I’m doing something wrong. I’ve also just had another baby which I’m not sure is linked as it was the same bef...

Daughter is completely different to what my son was

I know they say not all kids are the same but I can't help but tear up a little when my daughter does something much sooner than what my son did... For example she's starting to grab things you hold Infront of her (she's 4 months old) my son wasn't doing this till at least 6 months. I know they say boys are lazy 😂…

Would you show this video to Doctor? Almost 6 months old

I feel like my daughter is starting to show signs that something may be wrong with her. She always is looking like this unless she’s interacting with someone. Very zoned out and can still not hold her head up all the time. Has rolled over 2 times despite working on it for over 2 months. Not sure if she’s just tir...

14 month old

My 14 month old is horrible with tantrums and crying. He's always trying to bite when he's upset and it's annoying. I have 1 month old twins and he hates that I give them attention .
