Our 18 month old little boy has quite a temper 🙈 when he’s told no or isn’t able to do something he wants to be doing. He’s started to hit when he is frustrated and also bang his head off things which obviously isn’t safe and we don’t want him getting into the habit of hitting. We do tell him no and try to…

Does anyone else have a baby that’s been classed as high needs? I’ve been told my baby is high needs because he - cries a lot - gets bored extremely easily - wants holding most of the time and to be moving round They’ve said that it’s something he’ll grow out of once he can crawl (if he does) and when he walks but...

Any advice pls as I don’t know what to do My 2.5yo last week was screaming in the middle of the night because it was ‘so loud’ and kept screaming ‘what’s that noise’ but I was with her and there was no noise at all Since then not much has happened but she’s asking again what all the noise is and I asked if it was...

My LG just turnt 7 months today and isn’t crawling yet? Is this normal she literally just shakes her legs and arms when on her belly no movement at all. How can I encourage her to crawl

My son is 8 months old, he constantly needs attention, he wants picking up a lot of the time, he cries a lot and gets bored extremely easy. I’ve been told that he’s what health visitors call a high needs baby and it should settle when (if) he crawls and certainly when he walks because he can explore himself and is m...

According to wonder weeks my little girl is now in leap 5 and apparently can “clap her hands together” “pass a toy from one hand to another” “take toys in and out of boxes” and “understand that a toy can be above, below, inside outside” - now either my little girl is severely behind in her development or this app is...

Hi ladies, I don’t know what to do, my son is 4 and he calls me fat, ugly, stupid and says he hates me and it will be out of the blue. I don’t know what to do about it. I’ve already taken technology away as punishment and time outs but how do you go about it? I tried to talk to him and say that he shouldn’t say thin...

LG still doesn’t crawl or walk. I feel it’s holding her back in so many ways. I see other toys her age getting to explore their environments, open cupboard doors, chase things of interest. All she does is sit. She’s not shown any signs of moving soon and I’ve tried everything.

I had a physiotherapy appointment for my 9.5 month old today and I’ve left it feeling like a failure as a parent. He can’t crawl, won’t even go onto his knees and isn’t getting into a sitting position from lying by himself. I can’t help but feel it’s because I had to return to work when he was 6 months old when I ...

We moved into a new house 6 months ago, about 2 months ago my 3 year old keeps saying there’s a ghost in the hallway upstairs and refuses to have the door open to our playroom! If it’s open he slams it shut and says there’s a ghost! This morning he was hiding behind his door saying the ghost is crying and pointing d...

How many words are your little ones saying. Mine is 18 months next week and can say about 10 words. I'm just a little worried because everyone else we know with little ones a similar age are saying more. Are we behind? Should I be doing more to help develop her speech or is this one of those "she will get there in h...

My LO is nearly 9 months. He’s not consistently repeating any sounds back to me. Development questionnaire I’ve had through asks if he’s doing this. Getting a little worried. Anyone else!? Thanks

I am looking for a therapy that will help my son with his responses in social situations and with his impulses. What kind of therapy would do that? Play therapy?

Is it just me or did anyone else notice their baby would react to loud noises from within the womb? Is this normal?

This is an odd one just wondered if anyone else’s baby does this or if I should take her to get checked. My little girl will do almost a humping/grinding motion and I’m wondering if she is uncomfortable down below or if this is some sort of development thing / comfort? It seems odd to me. Sometimes she will do it i...

My autistic son can communicate very little and he's taken to screaming at everything. If he doesn't want something, when he's angry or frustrated, or if his toy falls over. Really any time hes misunderstood or doesn't get what he wants. Trying to help or comfort him just makes him scream more. Does anyone have a so...

My 8 week old little boy is incredibly hard work at the moment. He kicks off constantly all day even when fed and changed. Sometimes he's smiley and happy and I live for those moments. But inevitably 5 mins later the crying starts again. He sleeps okay at night, goes back to sleep after feeds with no fuss but I worr...

There’s just sound to this video but I have no idea why my daughter does this, any experiencing similar grunting noises from there little ones? And have any understanding why they do it?

Hi everyone! My baby boy is 17 months old now, and not really saying or attempting to say much at all during the day. I’ve talked to the pediatrician and have taken him to a speech evaluation already but have been told that since he’s at least saying 1-2 words and can make himself understood through gestures that th...
