Counting

Any advice on how to get my nearly 2 year old to count. His speech is very good and he is like a little parrot and copies everything we say. He says 2 all the time and knows its 2 in a line of something etc. And occasionally has said other numbers. Because his speech is good I don't think it's that he can't say numb...

Hitting & throwing objects

Bub is 2 next week & has begun hitting everyone and finds it funny. He also throws things around constantly. I was told in nursery he threw car toys at a set of twins. Is this normal? Surely not. His weekend child minder is concerned with behavioural change since he started there.

Tantrums and preschool

My sweet little guy has turned into a terror 😭 He is screaming and screaming going to preschool - he won’t even come down stairs in the morning without a massive tantrum. I’ve spoken to them and they said he’s amazing when he’s there - literally wipes the tears away and gets on with his day. They think he’s…

Constant whinging

I cannot deal with the constant whinging! If he’s frustrated, if we say no, if he has to wait, for no reason at all; it’s endless!

Baby got scared

I turned on the blender and turn around to see my baby who’s on the floor crying and screaming. I turned the blender off right away and came picked her up she cried for maybe 10 ish seconds and was fine. Could this cause something bad or will she be fine? She never cried from a loud noise like that before 😅

Pointing 17 months

So my baby was evaluated at daycare today and it says she’s not pointing to an object or picture when it’s named. She will point to show me something she wants, and even says “this” when she’s pointing, but she won’t necessarily point if I say, “point to the apple”, even though she knows what an apple is and she kno...

Is this normal?

I SAH with both kids. My 3.5 year old boy has ALWAYS been super attached to my husband who works full time. It used to make me feel upset until people started saying that children have their phases. Here we are 3 1/2 years later and he is still a daddy‘s boy. At bedtime, our two year old girl SCREAMS for me at be...

Milestones

I've see so many mommas post their worries about hitting milestones. It's so confusing when your baby is born early, because you can't really compare them or follow any of the fun apps etc. When to consider the corrected age and when the actual age. And confusion about the mental/emotional development vs the physica...

Possible autism.

Hey mamas. My baby had her first meeting with infant and toddler yesterday. They played with and evaluated her. They said she has multiple areas of delay and need to be tested for autism. It’s just so scary to think about. I want the best for my babe. She also has CMV which can cause developmental delays so this was...

Handling LOs Frustrations

My LG is approaching 2. She used to be very good at pointing and letting us know what she wanted. It's been a good fair few months now, she screams the whole house down as soon as she wants something. She becomes frustrated right away and will start screaming at the top of her voice. She does this over EVERYTHING, ...

Super clingy

Anyone else’s 1 year old all of a sudden chasing you everywhere and wanting to be picked up? Even getting up off the sofa she will run at my legs. Before she would happily independently play.
