Autism or Not

Hi I made a post couple of days ago and found out that my 3 year old is Gestalt Language processor. I am still trying to get my head around this concept. I was wondering should I look for any signs that can confirm If he can have autism or not. Other than the GLP part I don’t seem to think anything alarming but ...

Does anyone else’s baby hate the car seat? Sensory issues?

As soon as he touches the car seat he will scream the place down. He will do this the whole journey until I take him out. There’s a few trips I’d like to do with my toddler and baby however I can’t take him in the car for too long as his screaming is very distracting and dangerous for driving. Are these sensory is...

It happens every public place we go, and I'm not lying when I say it's the WHOLE time we are out unless he's really into something or in his stroller.

Blocked users

If you block someone on here, does your conversation disappear from their chats list? I stupidly shared my child’s name with someone as we were having a back and forth conversation and they seemed nice enough but they stopped replying after I told them what my child’s name is. They were still making their own posts...

Pointing and first words

Are your babies pointing already? My little boy turns 1 in May and hasn't really said his first word, just babbles a lot. Hasn't pointed either - is it a reason to be concerned?

Extremely fussy/grunting baby

Help!! My baby has been so fussy and making this awful grunting noise for a few days. Almost seems like she's just aggravated because I thought she had to use the bathroom but that's not the issue. Anyone else dealing with this or have any advice? She is 5 months and 3 weeks.

Very active toddler

What’s the chances of having a very wild, active, run everywhere, doesn’t listen, jumps of everything, doesn’t play ‘properly’, fussy eater, shouts everything toddler than isn’t autistic/adhd. Is this normal toddler behaviour or not?

Advice please

My 6 week old baby cries a lot, she’s very fussy, won’t let me put her down for more than 5 mins, the only time she’s quiet is when she’s feeding or asleep. Is something wrong ? Are all babies like this? I’m a FTM so don’t know what’s normal but I can feel myself getting upset because she always seems upset!?

Outside of their home

What’s your baby like outside of their home? My little one is a wild child and so daring with the people closest too but as soon as she’s out she’s so shy and reserved. She just stands back and watches people or stares them down!

Helpful advice please

So my 4 year old started doing this new thing where she pouts if she doesn’t get her way. She’ll run somewhere and cross her arms with a pouting face and when we try and talk to her she ignores us. Any helpful advice on how we should handle this?

Is it normal for an almost 2 year old to take awhile to settle and bedtime and also to sometimes have tantrums if someone isn't playing with him?

I figured that was normal for this age but his grandparents think otherwise. 😒. He does play independently many times, and he sleeps great once we get him to sleep. Also he's adjusting to our new baby, but had this behavior to some degree even before.

Worried about speech regression

Hi, I’m wondering if it’s normal for a 2-year-old to regress in skills he had already developed, such as his speech. A few weeks ago, he was progressing really well, speaking in 5–6 word sentences with some help from us. Suddenly, this week, he’s not using such long sentences, and when he’s excited to say something,...

Tantrumming Toddlers

Someone reassure me they are going through the same? My little one screams until he’s coughing and wrenching when it’s time to lie in bed, if he can’t have a certain food, if it’s time to get dressed, time to get undressed. I just want to try and keep him happy and so many of my mum friends aren’t having the same...
