Is that normal? lol. Like he can walk without assistance all day, he’s great. But he’s soooooo unstable sometimes. He knocks hisself out a few times a week.

My toddler's brhaviour is becoming a bit of a concern and I'm not sure whether to be worried or not.

Hi I’m just looking for a bit of advice. My son has just turned 23 months old and he can only say a handful of words and when encouraged refuses to try and say words.

How do y’all navigate your kids saying things they want but don’t really want? Example: my 3 year old always says he’s hungry and wants to open the fridge. He opens the fridge and picks out a yogurt. I open the yogurt and he doesn’t eat the yogurt. I don’t want to deny him food or say “mmm… i don’t believe you” so I...

I watched TikTok video that explained one sign of autism is to spin in circles for long amounts of time and they usually don’t even get dizzy. Is why my 17m old doing sound age appropriate?

My boy has been screaming since the morning and I’ve tried everythinggggg. I’ve taken him outside, I’ve distracted him in the moment, I’ve tried to cuddle him (pushes me away), I’ve sat with him, left him. Now it’s to the point where I’m just ignoring and he’s screaming. Btw he’s a very loud cryer, people get shocke...

I’m really trying not to panic as she is...
