Everyone says what a happy little boy my son is. Always smiling and in a good mood. But that is NOT the case when he’s with just me. He’s constantly whinging and moaning and wanting something that he can’t have and then absolutely screaming if he can’t have it or until I give in. But he’s an angel for his dad and ...

Anyone else experiencing this tantrum throwing phase where screaming has started if he’s not getting his own way?? It’s draining me so much especially in a night he used to just cry now it’s a scream and it scares the shit out of me every time 😩

My daughter laughs more with her dad or grandparents but not with me much. She’s just clingy around me while I struggle to keep her entertained. Anyone else feels the same ?

My son has delays in other motor areas , he can’t jump yet but he can spell and write his name ! He can also write and spell other simple words like wow ,zoo, mom and cow

I am having a hard time with my 2 years old tantrums. I have been trying to implement timeouts but he gets so angry that he is hitting and kicking me when I try to put him in time out. I don't want to hit or spank my child but I also don't want to condone his behavior. How can I correct his actions without hitting him?

My daughter is a nightmare if she’s not on the boob or being entertained. Constantly SCREAMING if she’s not being held. Literally nothing is wrong she’s just bored. I feel so mentally exhausted by her. Am I alone?

Hey everyone I’ve been a bit over place lately cos I keep seeing videos on TikTok and watching family/ friends babies all walking or standing up on their on own around 6 to 10 months and my little is nearly 1 in 13 days and hasn’t walked or leant to stand without support. I try but he legs go jelly or or has a litt...

My two year old son will be 3 in January. He was born two weeks earlier in case that matters. Anywho, he sings and repeats things he hears but he doesn’t communicate. Like I’ll ask him things like, “Do you want juice?” And he doesn’t respond. Idk if I’m worrying for nothing. He just doesn’t listen. Any advice???

We use with noise with my 4.5 month old but I know people who have taken it away already. When did you take away the white noise (if you used it)? And why did you take it away?

My little one took a tumble out of his swing—he's just 5 months old! I scooped him up and gave him a gentle rock, and thankfully, he calmed right down. No bumps or bruises, which is a relief! Has anyone else experienced something like this? He's napping now, and I can't help but feel a bit guilty; it all happened in...

If anyone can advise ! My 10.5 month old boy has been army crawling for 3 weeks now and he does it by using both arms but only his right leg. His left leg seems to drag behind him. He has got up on all fours and can usually kick both legs and bear weight on both legs. Almost can stand on his own. When he tries on a...

Where are you guys standing regarding challenging behaviour with your 3 year olds? How bad is it on a day to day basis? Do they listen? Do they understand consequences? I'm currently at a point where I dread getting up in the morning. She just doesn't listen to a word I'm saying. Ever! She started hitting, pushing ...

Just a random post to say my little boy loves the song ‘white Christmas’ by bing crosby. He’s loved it for a few weeks now and will either get excited when he hears it or if I sing it to him when he is upset he chills out or falls asleep if he is tired. Second night in a row he has fallen asleep to me singing it and...

My dog is obsessed with licking my 6 month old. He does it when he is in a bit of a playful mood and he tries to lick his hands and face and then brings a toy over like he's trying to play. He is quite a licky dog anyway and I have always let him lick my nose once like a little kiss 😂 so I dont know if this is what…

My 6 month old keeps ripping all of her toys off her jumper, any way to keep them on?

Seems to be when he is tired or frustrated. He is 6 months

I know it’s normal for kids to miss numbers and stuff but my daughter can say 2,3,4,6,8 She says 2,3,4 on her own (because of the jungle book song that got hup,2,3,4 😂) and says 6 & 8 while I’m counting with her. I’ll pause so she can try and say it first and she says them at the right time but she doesn’t attempt…

our 18m girl hits herself when she gets upset idk where she learned it nobody around her does this behavior what do i do to stop it?

Anyone else having this (not really an) issue? My almost 15mo old will cruuuuuise along tables, couches and will hold our finger and walk, but as soon as she lets go she stands for a little bit says “yaaayyy” claps then plops her booty back down and proceeds to crawl. My dad jokes that she’s “just being lazy” but I’...

Anybody’s baby babbles like crazy right before sleep? Or is this a baby specific thing 😂
