Toddler not sharing toys/running and not listening to teachers in creche

My toddler is 3 in April. He attends creche since he is 10 months old. I work in the same creche, different rooms. He goes to the toddler room. It is a very busy room. He had a lot of new teachers in the last 6 months. In the last few months his sharing skills have gotten very very bad.. everything is his.. and never share.. and when force to do itz he cries for few minutes.. today his teachers told me to please speak to him about running in class, not sharing his toys and sometimes not listening..
I am well aware of his bad sharing skills. And I have been trying to let him share at home..sometimes he does share for me and my husband.. what can I do to help him? As a teacher myself I have seen a lot of children that don't share.. but of course I like my son to be in the good list .
:( I feel lost.. also I am 30 weeks pregnant and I am so sure that things will change in worse once baby is here..
Any help really appreciated

I have seen children regress when mom gets farther along. You will probably notice some regression when baby does come along too. Your toddler is going to see the baby getting attention so try to set aside “special time” just for your toddler. From both mom and dad just so they know they have that special time. Consistency is key.

I also cringed a little when I saw the “make them share”. When we force children to share, it doesn’t make the act of sharing enjoyable. If another child is playing with a toy they want, we should let them know the friend is taking their turn and will give them a turn afterwards. Also vice versa. If your toddler is playing with a toy and another friend wants it, don’t force the issue just reassure the friend that the toy will be given to them and then ask your toddler to give them the toy when they are done. Give other options to allow the child to wait for their turn. Most of the time, the child forgets all about the other toy.

Hope this helps!

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?
