Does it hurt your feelings when your kid(s) say things you know they don’t mean or understand?

Today my 3.5 year old told me he doesn’t love me. I told him i love him before bed and he said “I don’t love you mommy” 💔 I know he doesn’t mean it or probably understand completely but it doesn’t make it make me feel less sad. 😔 and he kept saying it over and over. It just made me feel sad. 😞

Behaviour issues

I need help with how I can help my boy. He is a very energetic little boy, however he absolutely hates groups of people, even family he will get extremely overwhelmed and cry until I sit in a room alone with him, despite seeing them individually regularly. He also hates anything touching him such as wet/dirty hands ...

Should I be concerned…

Finding my boy quite challenging at the moment and I don’t know if some of the behaviour he is displaying should concern me…I suppose it is a bit otherwise I wouldn’t be posting this, but would love others opinions/thoughts.

Autism

Hi mum's. Any of you have any autistic children? My son shows signs and I am wondering how you go about getting support. I have previously been to the doctors as he was constantly stratching his face and we spoke about it but they advised too young to diagnose. I must admit I do not know alot about it but I can see ...

Tantrums

Is anyone really struggling with their 13month old? I honestly felt like I was close to a breakdown yesterday.. for a good few months the tantrums and screaming is getting worse.

Symbrachydactyly advice

My beautiful baby girl , Esra, was born with no pinky fingers. It was a complete surprise when she arrived to the world as it hadn't been picked up during any scans (although I don't remember them ever trying to count fingers at any of the scans I had including the 3D one) ... Anyway, we obviously love her exactly t...

Deflated

My son goes to nursery and every day when I pick him up they say how amazing he’s been and how he’s the happiest boy, he’s also always like this when we are around others. Yet on my own.. as soon as we get home.. it’s like he turns into the devil. He’s so demanding, cries until he gets what he wants and just is neve...

Does your child ever sit cross-legged and watch TV or play with a toy?

I just mean, do they ever just sit? Like no constantly up and down, running about or crawling around? Because my friends little one was doing it this afternoon and I was astonished. She's 17months and was sitting with her little legs crossed on the floor and watched the TV for a good 10-15 minutes without losing mu...

3 year old driving me insane 😔

This is gonna sound awful but does anyone else feel like you love your kid but you don’t *like* them at the moment? All he does is whinge, have huge meltdowns, nothing makes him happy, everything is “no mummy”. I feel like we’re losing the beautiful bond we used to have only a couple of months ago before he turned 3...

How do you 'discipline' your toddler?

I know they are learning and pushing boundaries but if they are doing something that's really not ok other than talking to them in that moment or removing them from the situation what else do you do? Examples: Hitting Biting I know these things can be a faze but I don't want them to set in and he thinks it's ok ...

Biting

My 7 month old has recently started biting me 🙈 he will literally grab my face and try to bite my chin, he seems to only really do this with me. Is this normal behaviour and any advice on how to encourage him not to do it?
