Just reaching out to see if anyone has or is experiencing anything similar.. My son had his parents evening for preschool and they’ve said they’re concerned about his speech. Not his vocabulary but how he actually talks, apparently he really struggles to communicate with his peers and the workers struggle to unders...

Want to see if its normal for his age, reading 5 letter words randomly and sporadically.

That’s all that’s stopping him walking, he’s so so fast walking around the furniture, sometimes holding on one hand now but soon as I try get him to stand either holding his hands/under his arms/ I’ve tried spoons/balls in his hands gosh everythinggg and he’s just wanting to sit back down straight away. Have the HV ...

My 2.5 year old boy doesn’t share and when I take him soft play I feel so embarrassed. I actually want the world to swallow me. He would just snatch and when they don’t give it he attacks them. What am I doing wrong? What am I supposed to do? How do I help him? Someone please help me. I just got home and cried my ey...

Just wondering how everyone is clipping toenails? I find it impossible as my LO is wiggling a lot and her feet are too strong to hold still 😆

My little boy is 9.5 months. He’s crawling, pulling to stand, babbling etc, but not doing any of the above. Anyone else similar? TIA 🥰

My nearly 5yr old had a tantrum because his milk was too wet 🤷‍♀️ My 2yr old had a tantrum because I wouldn't let her jump down a flight of stairs 🤨.

As a first time mum I am getting really worried about some of the repetitive hand movements I’ve noticed with my LO who is 6 months old, over the last 2 months just keeps twirling his feet and hands/wrists. Tends to do this more when excited or in the bouncer, I’ve read some worrying things online about what it coul...

My baby is 13 months and is generally very rough with toys. It doesn't matter what I buy him to play with, he just wants to throw it around and slam it on the floor. He seems happy enough doing this, but never really plays with toys in the way of their intended purpose. For instance, he has little cars but doesn't r...

My daughter is 1 on the 12th December and doesn’t babble at all. She will make sounds but not many of them. She understands you when you ask her to clap she does and dances things like that. Nursery have noticed it but they don’t see it being a problem just yet. I am worried because I do soo many activities with he...

Anyone elses baby grunts like nonstop? Sounds like a little demon baby lol not sure if this is a milestone thing?

Good morning all! I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the 3.5 year old tantrums, my little boy is such a lovely little boy and enjoys going to nursery. However he has started to be very independent which is good but will want to pick his clothes everyday, he usually picks the same things and if they...

How is everyone correcting behaviour that needs correcting with their 10 month old. That sounds harsh but I mean doing things that could put him in danger. For example ours keeps pushing on the tv (it is strapped so safe) but we want to stop this and when we say ‘no’ he laughs and carries on! Time out etc seems too ...

It is a sub-discipline of linguistics that is closely related to pragmatics, the study of meaning in context” “A common example of semantics in everyday life is when someone says ...

Everytime we go out in the car my daughters screaming as soon as I put her in the car. Any tips to help this?

Every night for the last 2 weeks, little boy been waking up screaming and fighting us (he's strong). This goes on all night. Can't do this any longer, what's going on?

Hi, My LG is 7.5 months and she can hold herself on her tummy but she hates it and just rolls straight back onto her back. It seems we’re a while away from crawling and I have massive mum guilt because i’m wondering if i should have done a lot more tummy time with her than i have. Whenever i try she just rolls ba...

Hi, my little girl is almost 10 months old and is been a month she is saying mama as her first word. At the beginning was only when she was crying and looking for me and then at 9 months was everyday. She used to see me and saying mama. The last 2 days she stopped altogether saying mama. It’s like she forgot the wor...

I feel like my 8 month old constantly needs to be stimulated or else he’s fussy! It feels like the smaller they were the easier it was. The older he gets the harder it feels?? Anyone else?? I don’t know what to do. I put him down and he cries. Any advice?? Thank you! 😭🤍
