I need advice.

My son is nine. He plays Fortnite maybe 2-4 hours a day and longer on weekends. This is what his teacher sent me. I need help on figuring out how to handle this. I am very upset by this. He has been in counseling in the past and was diagnosed with ADHD

Toddler classes

I’ve gone back to work part time so still have days where I want to take my son to classes. I went to a couple but found it was mostly babies around 4-6 months. Are there any classes you can recommend for 12 month olds?

3 month toys

What toys or activities would you recommend for a 3 month old. I use a mat that has dangling toys and I use a few sensory toys as well. I also have a vibrating bouncing chair that plays songs. I feel like this isn't enough to keep them entertained. Any suggestions?

Moving house

Has anyone moved house with an almost two year old? We are due to move soon and I’m a little worried that it is going to unsettle him. He can be very funny about going into houses he doesn’t know well when I’ve visited friends in the past. Any tips or reassurance?

Hi mamas, I took my little girl to her first play group today and honestly I didn’t feel impressed. It started to make me think of somewhere that I would feel comfortable taking her.

Somewhere that is clean, cute, aesthetically pleasing and the toys/paintings would be the pops of colours. It would be a warm cutesy vibe. Is this something parents would be into?
