My child is overstimulated when she comes home from school. Find her stim toys she can use and keep on her. Chewrly(chew necklaces) pop it's etc also ask for her to have extra time, have a teacher or a room she can go to, to decompress even in the middle of the day, and she probably needs snacks and water throughout the day. My daughter will have meltdowns if she's hungry, or tired. But to meet her needs she needs to have time to stim, she needs snacks to make sure she's not hungry and when she gets home have her have quite time weather that is laying down taking a nap coloring or time on a tablet. Hope these suggestions help.

I have tried tablet but it only last 5 minutes on it she off when that wasn't working I tried a relaxing bath when she gets home since she a water baby but that only last a week so I tried few others things and nothing but this technique I'm doing now seems to be helping her I'm a baker so in there helping me in the kitchen after school but I'm afraid it's going be cut short her soon

My baby is the same I just decided to put her in sports to get her out of that stage of social anxiety. She probably also just need you to reassure her of what she already know my daughter is the same when it comes to others teaching her she gets shy and shuts down. Try to see how she learns best is it through play, listening, or hands on. We all learn differently.

She does good one on one but the school says she doesn't qualified for that so r pat video her the text it to her to show the teacher

I would try and get her an IEP for next year it sounds like she needs one

Pros and cons of childminders vs nursery

Which one would you recommend for a 1 year old both parents work full-time

Nursery

Currently planning for baby number 2. My two year old goes to nursery two days a week. We had to reserve his place for our nursery in pregnancy and we didn’t have much choice on which days were available even this far in advance. What are people’s experience with this when siblings are joining the nursery? Do they generally get them in the same days as their older siblings? Worrying about work if they can only accommodate different days!

iPad games.

Which games do you let your toddlers play on the iPad? I’ve tried a few but all of them seem to come up with payment to use full use of the app and it constantly pops up, anyone have any suggestions.
YouTube is banned from his iPad so we just allow him to colour and play and occasionally watch CBeebies

Weaning - how much do they eat?

Hey ladies,
We started on purees with my 6mnth old baby about 10 days ago, but she seems to be totally uninterested, maximum 2-3 spoonful of puree each day. How is it going for others?

Sandwiches/ size of food

Baby is 10M old. Solid start app says most food to be offered as bite size, but been told by midwife/HV that the older they get the bigger the pieces? How do you offer sandwich for lunch?
