My boy has just turned 14m and he is crawling/cruising along furniture but not independently walking yet and he’s babbling all the time non stop but no actually words as such just yet, but when it comes to waving/clapping/pointing he ...

Advice for reactivity on walks

Merlin, our gentle giant, spent a week in kennels over Christmas and now coming home is completely different on his walks. He’s always been a little jumpy around big vehicles but is now reacting to every single car, bike, truck, even people who walk too close or too fast near us. I’ve been going back to basics with ...

Speech

My son is saying around 30-40 words and putting words together. We read loads and practice words etc. However we’ve noticed he can’t make certain sounds for example a ‘L’ sound so for light he says bight or ight, and our dog is called Bella and he’ll say Beya. And the ‘w’ sound so for water he says bater. Just won...

Hitting, scratching, hair pulling, biting

My 9 month old will sometimes slap/grab my face and pull my hair& bite. I don’t think she does it intentionally to hurt me but how do I stop this behaviour?

Love this age 🥰

They say each age you love but I just love this age at the moment!! She’s starting to speak more and it’s just the little things. I ask her something and she’ll say ‘yeah’ then she does it. It’s not massive conversations at the moment but I feel like she actually understands what I’m saying 🥰🥰🥰

My son will be 2 in less than a week and most likely autistic. We started behavioral therapy and speech therapy last summer and project impact in November. He’s highly sensitive and has multiple meltdowns throughout the day where he bangs his head. They used to be short lived and he’d calm down within minutes. We ju...
