What does it look like? I've heard they're not all the same

My 1 year old daughter has always pulled her hair as way of self soothing. More recently she has been pulling small clumps of hair out. I am keen to hear any experiences & for any advice on how best to deal with it {ignore it or, try to stop it?}. The nursery where my daughter goes said that its not 'normal' behav...

My little one has started biting me when he’s nursing. Any tips on how to get him to stop? He’ll bite down then tug at it 😩 and it hurts

Does (or did ) your toddler have crazy meltdowns over any slight change even in small routines? Our LO is 2 years and 3 months old and lately she has been having tantrums/meltdowns every time something is changing in how she washes her hands (me standing in a wrong spot, or opening water first then giving her soap)...

My 15 month old hits herself. I understand it’s normal when they throw their hands around and hit someone else because the don’t want something. But my daughter will hit herself on her head, face, etc. I’ve tried teaching her gentle hands, ignoring it/not giving a big reaction, etc. But it’s every day!! Is this norm...

Is anyone else struggling with their toddler listening to “no” I swear I say no to something A MILLION times and he just looks at me and continues to do it.. Anyone else dealing with this?

I have a daughter and we have had the period talk and private bedroom time by herself. My question I’m just curious what age are people having the sex conversation with kids?

My 2 year old son repeats new words over and over , like over 10 times in a row , is that normal? I get repeating , but he will continue for awhile

My 4 year old has a bruise under toe that isn’t going away but isn’t getting worse. How can I get rid of the bruise? It’s been almost 2 months..

My 2 year old took her nappy off and slapped it in my face and said “change me now “

What are some ways you get your LO to listen to the word NO, other than redirecting?? Redirecting doesn't seem to work so I need to know other options I can try. He also doesn't listen to the word no, other than from his dad, maybe my voice isn't stern..

Hey everyone, just wondering how many words your babies are able to say? Mine isn’t talking yet and I’m beginning to worry😭

Has anyone got any tips to help my baby crawl, please? He’s just turned 8 months and has been army crawling since he was 5.5 months. He doesn’t even push up on his hands, he’s always on his forearms, and only gets on his knees if he wants to roll. I know some babies army crawl until they walk, and usually I wouldn’t...

Every single time except two times, that I have taken the baby out with us someone has stopped us to say hi to the baby or tell us he’s so cute or talk to me about him. Do people really find this weird? I take it as a compliment. One girl even passed by him and got In her car and told the passenger that she had baby...

My last kiddo I did not have this problem, but this 18 month old I have now is the sweetest thing one minute and the next will throw hands, bite, pull hair and everything he thinks is hilarious. I calmly say no when I get past the initial pain/shock as I am trying to gentle parent. This child is not gentle. I am gla...

My daughter can walk but won’t wear shoes anyone else have or had this issue and how do I get her to wear them

My boy is 3 in March and has been biting, full on punching, scratching, kicking and spitting on me for months now and I don’t know how to stop it. Whatever I do doesn’t seem to work. Anyone else in a similar boat or got through it and can give me any advice? Xx

How many words is your little one saying? (Doesn’t need to be complete, so long as they are mostly understandable)

Whose babies still aren’t laughing yet?

He will lift himself off the couch and walk around holding on and will crawl. I try to hold on to his hands and walk with him but he gets so upset. Anyones kid did this ? Did they eventually walk? His pediatrician wasn’t worried last time we saw her but we’re going back for his check up next week and we can’t afford...
