Is there anything for a 17/18 month old to do there?

My LO loves pulling things apart, taken things out and putting them back, any toy ideas like this? Thanks

I have siblings close in age. Little one is in a throwing and hitting phase. I try talking, redirecting, and 2 min timeouts, nothing works. I tell the others to run away but at this point should I encourage to protect and defend themselves? I was taught to stick up and defend myself. What is the best approach nowadays?

Does anyone have any recommendations for toys that keep your around 7 month old entertained while at a restaurant? So not noisy music toys 🤣

How are yall keeping yall 2 month old entertained? My daughter seems to like tv but I do limit her tv time. She has been watching Mickey Mouse. I was told tv time isn’t good for babies so I need help.

My little boy is well and truly in the festive spirit. Can’t get enough of Christmas 😆 We’ve been doing a few bits and pieces for Christmas, but I bet there’s lots of great stuff we haven’t done together yet!! Thought it might be nice to share ideas? A few we’ve been up to: - Christmas baking/cooking (biscuits,…

This year, my husband and I are doing our own thing for new years instead of going to his family's big party. So it'll just be me, my husband, and our 16 month old. What are some fun activities/traditions you may do to help make it more fun for my daughter and husband?

A. Attend the school event and reschedule the presentation B. Enlist your partner or family to cover the school event C. Try to do both by rushing between the two obligations D. Communicate with work and school to find the best solution

Looking for recommendations on a large ( size 🙂) Christmas gift for my 2.5 year old, would love ideas ❤️

My 5 yr old has her own tablet and is mainly on it when she's having snacks. BUT the TV is on all day. I have 4 children with my 5 yr old being the oldest. I have no way of entertaining them as we don't go out & I'm pretty neurodivergent where idk what creative things to do with them...

Help please ☺️Any examples of reducing screen time or banning it completely and improvements in your toddlers behaviour e.g. more manageable tantrums? I’m wondering if stopping my toddler from watching TV (mostly Ms Rachel and the odd animated baby tv show) will help reduce whining and intensity of tantrums. Any e...

I don’t think an elementary school teacher should be trying to teach lessons through physical punishments like that. And I don’t want my kids to associate working out with punishment so young. Maybe a gym teacher could but idk?? my husband thinks I’m overreacting when I said I feel like we should email someone about...

Is it lame to have a couple of games and a Craft at a birthday party? Our girls 1st birthday party is tomorrow and we’re doing an Alice in ONEderland theme; we have “pin the smile on the Cheshire Cat” and a piñata….I was thinking of maybe playing some musical chairs and possibly one other thing. Also thinking of hav...

My son has been more Handsy with the tree than my 3yr old daughter she's more gentle with the tree than my son. He thinks that the Christmas baubles are toys any ideas how to get him to be more gentle with them. I'm not saying he can't touch them just don't pull on them or take them off.

After watching this documentary it’s actually made me never want to give my LO a smartphone. Limiting screentime for our babies is one thing, but as they get older and all their friends have a phone it will get so much harder to control. I feel so strongly now that every parent needs to push the agenda to ban smartp...

So we have a three-year-old and a five month old and we’re traveling out of state for my husband‘s holiday party. We will be gone 36 hours. It is the very first time that his mother is taking care of our children by herself. She’s never watched our toddler or the baby for a few hours alone, so does anyone have a gui...
