August 2020 Babies 🇬🇧

Hi, we’re currently going through a really difficult time with our 4 year old and are after some advice! She has always been a very happy and bubbly outgoing girl. We expected a few wobbles when she started nursery last september (she’d never been in childcare before until school nursery) but she was fine and the same when she started full time in reception class this september but was fine again, loved school!! Even tho this coincided with me going back to work after maternity leave she didnt seem phased. We’ve had a two week half term and since she has been back its been horrendous! Cries every drop off, cries throughout the day at school - now at the point she takes her favourite teddy to school and spends lunch ‘helping teachers’ to keep her distracted. She is emotional, pale, tired, nightmaring, wont eat, complaining of feeling sick and anxious constantly :( When you ask her why she says its because she misses me, wants to stay with me all the time and just be at home as a family.
She is so unhappy at home and never really in the moment, constantly asking when she has to go back to school or worrying about things we have planned. She’s done horse riding since she was 3 and loved it but ive taken her today and she has cried and refused to go on the horse as she doesnt want to be without me in the arena.

We just dont know what to do for the best, is it just a phase (its been 4 weeks of ups and downs) and something we need to ride out or is there something else we should be doing?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey all is anybody in Halifax uk looking to make a new mum friend and pass time through the week and maybe some tea dates and weekend meetups and cheeky drinks sometimes

my daughter will be 4 in august, she has a few friends at pre school but I’ve only spoke to 2 or 3 mums now of course my daughter wants to invite her friends to her party and she knows their names etc so I will write the invites for the friends she asks for but like I’ve mentioned I don’t know all the children or parents as pick up and drop off is very brief , would this be a problem when it comes to inviting them to her party if my daughter says they’re friends? I just don’t know how to approach the mums & my little one doesn’t always tell me who’s who 😭😭

So, my toddler has been causing issues (its not his fault, he's just being a normal child. They're sometimes difficult when they're little) But anyway his dad argues with him, I argue with his dad. His dad gets angry and aggressive and it scares us both.

This week his dad has pushed me twice, and our son once. My toddler hurt his back. It was just a bruise and he wasn't overly phased unless I asked him about it.

I don't really know what to do, has anyone else been in this situation

Hey, I just wonder if anyone can advise about chicken pox? My little boy has woke up with some spots, not many though! There’s an outbreak of chickenpox at his nursery so very possible he’s been in contact with it.. does this look like chicken pox? Everywhere says they come thick and fast but he started this morning and just has a few spots, is it likely chicken pox or coincidence.. any help appreciated!! Thank you ☺️
