My 3 years old keep going out on the street without adults in the house knowing. He just unlocks the front door and slips out . He has done it thrice now but the last two have been the most scary . A lady saw him walking towards the end of the road and was kind enough to locate our house and bring him home . Please ...

Does anyone know any firework/ funfair I can take me LO too. Also any Christmas lights/ Santa

I'm just wondering how we should be teaching our LOs the alphabet (I.e the letters as they are or phonics)? FTM so totally new to me! My son isn't talking yet but showed an interest in identifying letters on one of his books, and I just read them like "ay", "bee", "see" but then realised he might be taught differen...

My daughter is 5 and I’ve been dying to take her to Disneyland . My parents have been wanting to take her for the holidays because they used to take me when I was a kid . My husband said it’s not fair to go without his daughter . Every year I try to plan a trip but it never aligns with step daughters schedule or the...

Anyone else not got a cat in hells chance of this happening 😂 I have several of those whiteboard number and letter books,…

What are we doing in the fall/winter when it’s too cold or rainy to go to the park? Yes I know library but they only have kids programs at my location once a week.

My son is 2.5yrs old and very wild. We get outside pretty much every morning and I’d been so looking forward to getting out of the baby stage so we could play properly together and I could do magical childhood things like show him nature, doing crafts or play more role play type games… However it’s still not the c...

I don’t mean to”peek-a-boo”, but actually scaring them and then laughing about it. Saw a video online where people took a boy, approximately 10 years old, to a “haunted carwash”, actors fully dressed up, make up and props, reaching in the car, scaring you. The child was terrified with tears, screaming, everyone arou...

What tablet would you recommend for kids ages 3-5 Please comment

Hey everyone! I'm struggling to find a place to take my 10 month old baby girl. Preferably a play area where she can crawl and climb and be safe. She's standing and took her first step. But she's in that in-between stage before she's a full toddler. Love any suggestions of places to go in the Brisbane area! Also, ...

Now that winter is coming I need ideas of what to do with my almost 4 year old girl. She’s an only child so she can get bored and idk anyone here. Crafts or games or toys that help ?? Learning and fun stuff let me know thank you. I don’t do iPads or tablets

Does anyone know any places for toddlers that can play and you can stay with them

Looking for some toys? Let me know. I can also drop them off. Dinosaurs. Hot wheels. Animals. Etc. from my son who’s 5. Toys can be for girls or boys.

He’s such an active and interested little boy. He’s definitely bored JUST playing with toys. He loves putting things inside things and just so curious about everything. Anyone know of any good indoor activities/crafts/learning games that might keep him interested and entertained. Feel like the same thing everyday ...

I really want my little boy to see a proper display but he also really struggles to stay up past his bedtime which is at 8 and I've seen a few places advertising fireworks for 7:45!
