Do you ever smack?

So I have a 24 month old and starting on our disciplinary journey. I watched an episode of supernanny where a 4 year old was screaming, kicking, hitting, spitting and generally out of control all day and it scared the shit out of me because I know im quite soft and sensitive and not always good at discipline. My mum already says my boy is way more wilful than I was.
How do you discipline? Many were saying the boy in super nanny needed a good smack...i don't like this idea but I see the need for it sometimes...
Any feedback welcomed

Fainting videos

Tiktok seems to be flooded with parents pretending to faint and watching their autistic kids reactions. I really don't like them. Scary how little these kids give a toss about other people - autistic or not. My boyfriends son is like this 😬

Zero interest in animal/sounds

Does anyone else’s 18 month old not care less about animals and their sounds? Feel like I’ve been rabbiting on to her for the past year animal names and sounds and she literally couldn’t care less??? She loves dogs and cats so she has that down but other than that I’ll ask her what a cow etc says and she just walks away🙃

Knows her colours and letters, can name anything with wheels but she’s not a repeater, she has to have a genuine interest to care about learning something whereas our friends 18 month old will repeat anything and everything and memorise it?? Like I can’t just ask my little one to say a word she just will not do it unless she cares (is that normal for this age??🥲)

tips for getting baby to stand/walk

my baby is 14, almost 15 months and still isn’t standing or walking independently. i know it’s not a concern until 18months but im getting a bit discouraged 😕 he cruises on the furniture perfectly fine & uses his walker when he feels like it but he always just falls to the ground/doesnt want to walk. like i said, i know i shouldn’t be concerned right now but im just wondering what tips helped your baby and are they walking/standing yet? i’ve tried the 2 objects in their hand (he just throws them on the ground😂) and the broom trick.. nothing works

Americans please can I have your opinions

My kid has been in school in the UK and has learnt all sight words and can read fluently. He is in grade 1 in America now and while doing sight words was graded as incorrect for his pronunciation of the word 'been,' he said it as in 'seen,' 'keen,' or even 'bean' but the teacher said that the correct pronunciation is 'bin' as in 'sin' or 'in' with a 'buh' sound at the beginning (I hope I'm making sense)

Before I say anything to the teacher I'd like to get your thoughts. What is correct?

Is this normal? My first never did this

So glad I finally caught this on camera!! I’ve asked Google and states can sometimes be normal but never experienced it before my 1st wasn’t like this.
Since taking this video he has done it about 10 more times he does only seem to do it when his tired.

at 2 years old my autistic daughter never said a single word

and now at 3 and a half years old she finally talks more. today I said to her "my name is mommy" and for the first time ever she said "my name is claire" she has never said her name before. she also started asking for help like "mommy, please help" of course, she struggles with pronunciations like the letter P, But im just so happy!!

Do you shout at your child

I keep seeing posts where they say they don’t shout at their child/raise their voice, and I’m just wondering how this is humanely possible 😂 I am a very patient person, or so I thought until I became a toddler mum, but I’m often shouting numerous times a day, I do feel bad but I can’t stop myself from doing it. It’s always after I’ve asked nicely and patiently about 4 times and get ignored that I start getting cross, shouting isn’t my go to.

Hands in mouth

My little boy constantly has his hands in his mouth chewing,
When I mean constant it’s literally ALL the time unless he’s asleep or having a a feed.
My daughter is 8 so it’s been a while but I can’t remember
Her being that bad🫣 is anyone else’s baby doing the same?

Crawling

I’m trying not to worried but my baby will be 10 months on the 22nd and he’s still not crawling. He’s constantly rolling around from back to belly and belly to back and pivots in circles but will not crawl. He’s constantly rolling is always on the floor except for when he’s eating or sleeping or getting some cuddles from me and his baba. I’m not sure what to do should I be worried or just relax and realize he’ll crawl when he’s ready to

Bum shuffling 🆘

My almost 1 year old is bum shuffling and I’m stressed. I cannot get him to crawl on all fours.

I’m stressed that he is not building the core muscles he needs to meet other milestones and he will be delayed with walking.

Any tips? 🙏🏻

Tantrums

Anyone else suffering between the one and two stage of just constant tantrums.
What the most diabolical thing your toddler has had a tantrum over?
I’ll go first.
He wanted crisps gave him crisps and he decided he didn’t want them anymore so threw a tantrum

16 months old 🥹

anyone else’s 1 year olds constantly talking?? it’s like everyday there’s a new word she’s saying🤯

Is your baby Crawling?

Keep seeing lots of post on TikTok about 6/7 months crawling so just curious. My little one is spinning around on belly and getting around by rolling and pulling herself along. Will on on knees but nothing else.

Bow legs

I’m panicking my son started walking at 7 months and now he’s 10 months old and running around but I noticed he has bow legs and day by day is getting more pronounced the doctor said that’s how he was inside my womb and also it’s not a problem but it’s getting worse and I don’t want to see my child like that what can I do mamas help me please 💔

Early autism signs

Hey, my LO is turning 9 months and is a bit slower in terms of development. He’s not interested in moving yet although he can sit up and has only just started rolling now. He still doesn’t respond to his name unless it’s silent in the room but that’s him responding to sound rather than his name. He does smile and giggle at us and has said mama and dada. He also flaps his arms a lot out of excitement and flicks his hands too. He is also fascinated by his own and other people’s hands. Anyone have any first hand experience with this? I’m concerned with the arm flapping/hands fascination, not responding to name and the late to rolling milestone.
