Overstimulated toddler

My son just turned two and even very little he gets overstimulated. Loud noises. Lights. Ect. He is all over the place normally which I know is a typical toddler trait but it feels shorter than others when I worked with kids. He will only focus on puzzles. There’s a few other things that I have noticed but not sure ...

First shoes

I’m looking to get my LO some shoes. I went into Clarks and they measured him for pre walkers a few weeks ago. He now walks pretty confidently around the house, never crawls anymore. However he hasn’t really walked outside yet. Would you go for pre walkers still, or now he’s more mobile inside, go for a first trai...

Is your baby babbling? "Mamamam" "Dadadada" "Babababa" "Tatatata" etc

Is your baby babbling yet? Boy or girl? My boy isn't babbling at all yet. He will squeal/scream and make "Ah" "Oh" sounds but no babbling. My friends girl is younger and she's babbling. I'm worried but someone told me not to worry as boys usually do it later than girls. True or "old wives tale"?🤔

What are you mummas doing for tantrums??

It seems like they just keep progressing and getting bigger. When we are out we give her the option to hold our hands or ride in the cart, and she will throw herself on the ground if we don’t let her run off or go limp and scream if we pick her up. We don’t spank or hit Please advice?

Preschool autism query

My son was born in September 2021 and has always been what I have described as ‘analytical’. At baby group etc he always sits and watches rather than getting properly involved. He observes and then might decide to get involved later. He is very quietly spoken when around others, but around us is very loud. He doesn’...

Temper tantrums

Is anyone else’s little ones suddenly developing actual temper tantrums already? Anytime I have to tell my little girl no, take her away from something she wants but can’t have or if she’s decided she’s had enough of something she makes her body go really rigid, tenses herself up so she’s red in the face and makes a...
