    How to support a gifted child?

    @gizmorazaar Can relate to this so much. I kept my son in preschool an extra year and it was absolutely the best decision. It was mainly a social and confidence decision, and the difference a year made was obvious. He's doing 2nd grade math, but struggling with reading/spelling and I very much...

    9 mo with Covid part 2

    @mcooperiii Praying for you. We all had it over the holidays and it was brutal. My 4 month old and I were first. He is a naturally calm happy baby, cried for 2 days straight and then had a rough time for a couple more. He did thankfully eat, less so, but mainly slept and cried. I got very sick...

    Clingy 10 month-old

    @discoveringyou Weaning will not help is my guess. What's she's suggesting is ridiculous and I would shut it down, which you can totally do politely. "Thanks but we feel she'll be more comfortable when she's ready MIL, right now this is what we're doing." Then bean dip, aka subject change "So...

    I’m broken beyond repair

    Dealing with toddler tantrums (2.5 y.o.)

    @dfe1971 Agree with the other posters. When our tantrums started around 2-2.5 I felt like I tried everything to no avail. One day I said "mommy needs to step out of the room. I'll be right back" (because i felt like i was going to lose it! And needed my own time out) I gave him space, and he...

    He left us

    @jnb2 This is a gift. I know it's going to feel hard, the trauma and abuse to process, but you've been doing it all yourself this whole time. It's going to get easier, a weight that was dragging you down. Keep moving, one day at a time, and under no circumstances do you ever take him back. You...
