Gentle Parenting

My son is eleven months old. When he bites or pinches me he often draws blood. I don't know how to deal with this in a way that respects his age and development level while also protecting myself. My arms are covered in scabs and there are even injuries on my face.

I feel like I need to clear that up a little bit I just mean my patience is at a all time low my almost 3yr old is pushing every button and she doesn't stop. Like she's never been a big one on throwing fits (or at least we had pretty good plans in place to redirect and deal with them) but now it's like everything is causing a meltdown and nothing I do helps it just makes it worse all she wants to be held and honestly it's a joke right now that shes not turning this month she's turning 1 cuz it's that mad. And yes I know that regression is a this and yes she normally goes through a small one a couple weeks before her birthday but I normally don't mind we take a couple days to just chill and hangout around the house but she's not sleeping and just wants to cry unless I'm holding her or she is playing with her best friend but that still only works for a few minutes ( the playing with her friend part) please I really need some help even if it's just saying I'm not alone cuz this is really hard.

I need advice. My daughter (3 in may) is so rough with her brother (7 months). I do my best to not over react to her behavior, my husband is another story. But she is constantly pulling on his arms/legs. Or pushing his head or pressing on his back. It’s not life threatening but I can tell she is just testing limits.

But I don’t know what to do or say anymore. I tell her that she could really hurt him and that’s it’s not okay, and sometimes I will move her to her room to take some space if she isn’t listening at all and keeps doing it.

I am just so frustrated. I keep correcting her, but I don’t want her to feel like a bad kid, I know she is learning, her brother is crawling so he is getting into “her” toys more and he is requiring more of my attention to keep him out of things so he doesn’t swallow something he shouldn’t.

I thought it was jealousy, but I try to give her lots of one on one time and we go on a lot of outings. It doesn’t seem to do anything. She has her very sweet moments and I try to point out how thoughtful she is in those moments.

Anyone else been here? Help.

wanted to do a check in and see how you mamas are feeling!
