Hi all, recommendation for places to go (no more than 1.5h distance by car) in the next week? Possibly free. I've already on the list the riverside museum and the national museum of rural life, any other recommendations a 3yo could enjoy? He loves farms but the Clyde valley is still closed for the winter period. Tha...

My daughter is 25 months old and my husband and I always travel with her, we haven’t had any holidays just us two since she was born. My husband really wants to go on a holiday just us two, even if it’s for 1-2 nights. I have never left her with anyone except my husband and it just feels so strange to leave her with...

Hi Everyone ! I was wondering if anyone would like to go for a walk once a week I know there is a group doing it but it isn’t free and only once in a while when I can not join . So if you want to get out of the house for a walk and coffee with your baby and doggy drop me a text 🥰

Hi- my daughter just turned 13 months. We have been practicing holding a crayon and I have some contact paper up on the wall and she likes to sticks things to it. Any other art projects anyone can recommend? She still puts things in her mouth a lot so it is tough…

I’ve started my son at football club last week. He’s 21 months old. All the other children in his group listen and follow all the instructions however he is only interested in kicking the ball and doesn’t listen to any other instructions. When all the kids are doing an activity or sat on the floor, my son is ignorin...

My 5 year old got stuck on an Accessible style swing in a very uncomfortable, even painful, position. I was across the playground, didn't initially realize I was hearing her call for mom. I run over to her, which took a minute. The whole time, there's a couple with a baby in the swing next to her. The dad is a poli...

Hi, could I get some cheap toy recommendations please? My LB is getting bored with his toys (he still has a lot of rattles and sensory toys, and they don’t hold his attention for long). I’d like to start getting him more age-appropriate toys or toys he’ll enjoy as he’s getting a bit older, but I have no clue where t...

So my daughter has been having a rough time with throwing toys and knocking chairs over at school when she doesn’t get her way. We have been trying to get her not to do that and telling her to stop doing that but she continues to do it. Any advice or suggestions to correct this behavior?

Hi, recommendations for puddle suits for my 15m old please! X

Does anyone have any recommendations for toys to keep my son occupied in the car. He gets bored back there I easily and all the toys I hand him end up being thrown or I have to give him endless snacks to keep him from crying. We do not do tablets or movies. The only thing that he plays with for long periods is my ke...

What are your little ones watching?

My one year old only watches two things: Ms Rachel, and the new Wonka movie. I’ve tried other movies cause I’m going insane with the two but nothing else gets her attention. P.s. I refuse to watch cocomelon. I’ve tried: frozen, Moana, finding Nemo, bluey, peppa pig, Toy Story, monsters inc. Any other thoughts or id...

Hello, which car park is the best for parking in the atria with a toddler and a baby? A lot of the time the parent child bays are filled up. Sometimes its really tight getting both kids in and out of the car! Thanks in advance

I need suggestions for limited supervision activities for a 15 month old. My husband and I work from home and my son is with us all day.

My 4 month old does really well if I get him out of the house. I am wondering if you guys wouldn’t mind sharing if you lovely ladies have a planned activity that you go to most Wednesdays or Fridays? We go to Brest feeding support and library already ❤️. We tend to go to shark reef, a hike or shopping but I would lo...

And the teachers didn’t do anything? I don’t want him to get bullied in school later on in the years. I did… and was not nice. I’d like him to build confidence
