February 2020 Babies 🇬🇧

Need to settle this debate with my partner. He thinks it’s ridiculous that our children need us to stay in the room with them when they go to sleep and I tell him it’s not uncommon. I’m not talking about babies, specifically 3 - 5 years. Let me know below!

How has everyone managed to transition their kids off the stabilisers? My LG is so keen to have them off, but every time we remove them, she won't even get on the bike 🙈

I myself have suffered since a young age with migraines. My 4 year old is now showing the exact signs. She will go days with a headache, which knocks her out, and she describes it as fuzzy in her eyes (exactly how I would describe mine if I was to really simplify the terminology!)

She wears glasses for reading, etc, but since having them prescribed 6 months ago, her headaches have not eased.

Has anyone else dealt with this in such a young child? And if so, what did you do?

Thanks in advance.

Hello ladies, now that we have been offered school places, when are the schools likely to contact us regarding the admission?

We are really struggling with our 4 year olds behaviour. It is just vile. We have tried to discipline, to reward good behaviour, take toys away, star charts, treats/rewards, naughty step etc but nothing seems to work. It has definitely gotten worse since he had a baby brother but I just don’t know what to do. He gets everything, we both spend lots of one on one time with him, we are constantly trying to understand how he is feeling and why he behaves the way he does. He is very attached to me and tries to hurt his brother whenever he comes near me. He bites me, my husband and even tries to hurt the cat. If we try to punish him (eg by taking something away) he just screams and throws a huge tantrum so we end up spending all night trying to calm him down. He won’t let me and my husband talk, constantly shouting over us if we try to have a conversation. It’s putting a strain on us as we are both just so stressed by the end of the evening. I know that developmentally some of this is normal but I just don’t know what to do. I dread the evenings when I pick him up from nursery and feel so bad on my baby who is exposed to all of this. He doesn’t have any developmental issues and according to nursery gets on fine there. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for reading.
