Hello I'm just after some advice really before I speak to a medical professional
I currently have a 4 year old and for the past month she's been turning really violent like hitting punching and pinching
No matter what I do I've cut her screen time down

I’d put in a reward chart and reward the positive. In terms of when the negative incidents occur have you tried her sitting on a step, getting down to her level and talking about why she is there after a minute or two

I cant help but just to say we are going through the same. The anger coming out of him is a new level and he mainly hits me but also my husband and sometimes his little sister although it’s clear he’s not as rough with her. We have found removing his sister and leaving him with one person helps end it sooner although isn’t reducing the frequency of it happening yet. We also move away from him and say we won’t let you hurt us. I’m hoping it’s a phase with school starting and his little sister is now walking and getting a lot more in his space and attention. He doesn’t tend to do it in public only at home

Same here as well. He’s scratching, throwing toys and hitting. Only directed at me. I can’t quite work out why or the triggers but it’s awful.
The nursery has contacted on my sons second day at nursery to say that a baby has chickenpox. This baby was in the same room as my child.
Is there a high chance of him getting it? The baby was removed within 3-4, hours.
I havent had chickenpox myself so I am a bit worried hence me asking.
Are there any steps I can take?
Thanks all

VAGINAL BIRTHS, NO STITCHES OR COMPLICATIONS -
How long did everyone wait until they had sex? I usually hate these posts now I’m finding myself asking the same question hahahaha. The sexual tension we both have is unreal, we’ve not slept together since 2nd May😮💨 i usually have more self discipline than this! Baby was born 10th August so I’m 3 weeks and 2 days, not much blood is on my pads anymore however it’s there when I wipe. We almost tried the other night but I chickened out in case it hurt 😢

My LG is 11 months (1 year in 3 weeks) and she is ALWAYS wanting to walk holding my hands. She does it really well and is barely putting any weight on my hands any more and she cruises confidently!
I've been trying to encourage her to take an independent step but every time I do, she crawls to me instead.
Any tips would be great!

My LO is 6 months old and hates being in the car. Sometimes she can tolerate a 10-20 minute journey by being distracted with toys, but once she starts crying she gets herself so worked up, which is so difficult when driving alone. I’ve tried her in the front (airbags turned off) and it worked for one journey but the journey back she was in hysterics by the time we got home.
I’m unsure if it has anything to do with the car seat, for reference she is 6 months old, and we have the joie I-level pro car seat, so it is fine for her age and weight/length, but unsure if the capsule car seat is causing discomfort.
Has anyone experienced this then changed to a bigger car seat and had better results, or any ideas how to keep her distracted? We do so many car journeys, and usually when I’m sat in the back with her she’s okay for a bit longer but once she’s in hysterics I have to take her out to calm her down
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Typically how many bottles do you have? I know it depends on how often you wash them etc. We have 4 at the moment but looking at buying a couple more to avoid washing as often.

My husband is on a bit of a self-improvement/discovery journey and mentioned yesterday about the idea of being celibate for a while to see if it improves his mental state focus on other things. He said that he is curious around how if would affect him. How would you feel?
