Swimming

Can anyone recommend kids swimming lessons? Looking for lessons where I’m allowed to watch my child, but do not need to get in. I’ve enquired with some but they seem a bit strange and I’d like to be able to keep an eye on her. She is 3. Thanks 🙂

Sharing

Hello, My 6yo son is not willing to share any of the toys that have been gifted to him in the past. Some of which he doesn't play with anymore and that my 3yo daughter would enjoy. I'm having a hard time telling him to share anything that is his, even though he is happy to use any of my daughter's toys. Any tips?

Activity Ideas

I WFH and have my 18m son home with me. It’s becoming increasingly challenging to keep him engaged during the day. He’s very clingy and only independently plays in short intervals. Need some more ideas of activities that will capture his attention. Any tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! ❤️
