looking for 3rd girl birthday theme ideas she wanted pink so i need low budget ideas ... her 1st was unicorn pinkish theme ....need kinda different this time

I need some advice. For just over a year now I have been taking my little one to some play group sessions. In the last few months as I have been taking them to the ones with older kids, I have had several times where my child has been on the receiving end of other children older or same age getting physically aggressive. This has also happened at nursery where they were bitten by another child. Whilst I am pretty proud of them for not retaliating at all, I was getting worried as there has never been any apologies or recognition that this is happening at these groups. I am also contemplating not taking my child to them anymore as I am scared they will be grabbed/hit again. But I don’t want to do this as we both always have a lovely time and they have made some good friends there. So I contacted the place the groups are held to let them know all that’s happened and if there was anything that could be done to prevent it from happening to anyone else’s children. I am now worried I have done the wrong thing and will be treated differently or looked at in a bad way. I am in no way trying to offend any other parents for how they raise their kids, and I understand fully that these things do just happen, but I felt I needed to stand up for myself and my child as it was really started to upset me. Was this the right thing to do or should I have carried on keeping my head down and say nothing?

Hi ladies, my son is 3 he will be 4 in september his behaviour has changed dramatically. He is throwing things like when out a walk picking up stones and throwing them on road, destroying plants in garden he helped his dad plant tulips then tipped them all out, unwinding toilet roll took my lipstick drew all over bath. Hitting me during tantrums.

He’s always been so sweet and loving but this is not him. Everything is an argument.

Nursery said he’s fine in there just saying no. Only thing I’ve noticed is he keeps saying his cousin keeps hitting him and pushing him in nursery. There dads are cousins and do not speak. She hit him in December in nursery causing his nose to bleed and after a meeting it seemed to stop so not sure this is to do with behaviour.

Any advice would be great.

Does it work? Need try something he goes to bed no problem he’s actually really good no tantrums no arguments gives us kiss bedtime story but morning that’s when the monster is unleashed he wakes from like 6am full of beans and so much energy shouting mummy daddy get up. so was told about this does it work.

Someone please explain how to do you tell your 4 year old there's nothing to be scared of and there's no such thing as monsters I already tried to tell him they aren't real but I'm assuming his bio mom told him they were or his older sister did cause he swears monsters are real and is scared to sleep alone but this didn't start till recent he never did this before and now he has the 2 year old running around saying he's scared all the time
