    Toddler loves pushing my newly walking baby and I feel lost

    @diademjewel Sometimes it's about the drama of it, so stuffies and pillows won't do it, so it may need to be something that's far more interesting to knock over basically.

    Toddler loves pushing my newly walking baby and I feel lost

    @diademjewel I would add getting something that's fun and safe to knock down, like one of the punchy the clown things, or some big blocks to stack and knock over.

    Struggling with Toddlers Roughness

    @brad94 My question is, why no rough play? I would say when you have time, rough house with her and instead of teaching her to be gentle all the time, teach her there's times it's appropriate to be rough, and times it's not, i.e. when you are tending to the baby/not expecting it.

    For the parents whose toddlers went through a car seat refusal phase, how did you support them through that?

    @thestarside I did basically exposure therapy and my 2 yo has absolutely no trouble with the car seat anymore! Take the car seat out of the car and place it (so it won't tip and hurt/scare them) in the house. Let them climb in and out as they please. Then when they seem comfortable, put the...
