Toddlers and being social

How much of social behavior has improved in your kid since their first birthday? Not talking just about their speech but also their interest in their environment and interactions with the people around them? How are you encouraging it?

Grumpy 11 year old

So today is my Birthday! And my 11 year old daughter doesn’t seem to care. She claims she didn’t know it was my birthday but I know she is lying because I mentioned it a few times and yesterday. I am not expecting anything but love and care. She is not a baby anymore and by 11 years old they should understand what i...

Staring into space

Hi ladies - is your little one sometimes staring into space? Mine does it when he seems to be overtired or after he had a cry and I just wanted to check if its something normal.

Is this odd?

My baby girl (nearly 7 months) keeps doing this weird panting thing (see video below). I don’t know if it’s a problem or if it’s because she’s just realised she can make this noise. She’s totally fine in herself - chatting/babbling away and smiley as ever. There’s no consistent time in between doing it and she doesn...

Super unsettled 15 months old

Does anyone have experience with a super unsettled 15 months old. She's always grumpy, crying and tantruming. It's been months of this now and feels never ending. We just have to take it in turns to deal with it because it's relentless. We put it down to teething but I'm none the wiser if something else could be goi...

Will the screaming go away even they get older?

My 6m old is in this phase of screaming when he’s even a little bit inconvenienced. When being put down for diaper change, putting on clothes, when being fed solids, basically anything and everything. Hes been like this from 5 months old and I’m just exhausted mentally. His screaming sends me into overdrive and then...

15 month old not talking advice

My 15 month old does a lot of babbling and screaming but will not copy us and say words. He will take our hands and move them to communicate what he wants at times. He can clap, walk, climb, wave, use balance bike, use preloaded spoon. When has everyone’s children started talking? Should I be concerned?

Wild 1 year old!

Does anyone have advice for an absolutely wild 14 month old? He runs, he climbs on everything, he throws everything and has now broken two TVs by throwing something at it. He thinks he is hilarious. Would love to talk to a mum who has a wild toddler because I’m finding this so hard :/

Echolalia

Is there any kids who initially had echolalia or delayed echolalia and later went on to speak well and communicate well ? My 3 year old has delayed echolalia .. currently am focusing on increasing his vocabulary but sometimes i become sad and hopeless.. wanting to hear success stories ..

Baby not crawling

Bub was born late January and still isn't crawling. She pushes up with her hands but not her knees. Only pushes/shuffles backwards and can spin 360 on the mat when doing tummy time. Any advice? Is my bub a late crawler? Any mamas on the same page?

Old wives tale

Does anyone really think that old wives tale of when your toddler puts their head on the floor and looks through their legs means they are looking for their sibling and you could be pregnant? My daughter has been doing this as of late
