toddler

I am looking for advice how to deal with my son’s tantrums and perhaps your own personal experience. I’ve read articles online but I still find it hard not to get angry whenever he gets in that mood. My son has episodes when he cries and he cannot be reasoned with and doesn’t want to be...

I’ve decided since we are stuck indoors anyways to start teaching letter sounds to my 3 yo. He already knows all of the capital letters and how to spell his name so I’m working on the sounds and lower case letters. Each day we work on a different letter. We do a craft/ activity starting with the...

Has anyone else experienced this? I feel like I am losing my mind. A few times this week, my daughter has taken to getting up between 11-12 at night and absolutely will not go back to sleep until 5 or 6 in the morning. We had sleep trained her around 5 months and it worked beautifully, but using...

Well done Blippi... your marketing scheme worked on my 3yo 😂.

For the past 6 months my 2 y/o only poops every 5-7 days. She moans in pain for hours on end because she has to go but won’t let it out. This is usually our “evening activity”on days 4-5 and the “daily activity” on day 6-7 if she holds long enough. She’s been on Miralax for over a month and...

My poor 9 year old got adenovirus (Adenoviruses are a group of viruses that can cause infections. Adenovirus (add-eh-noe-VY-rus) infections can happen in kids of any age, but are more common in babies and young children. Most kids have had at least one adenovirus infection before)! He then...

My child is 4going in five. Her Pre- K class is all 4/5 year olds. You must be at least 4 to start in her class. My child goes to school full days 5 days a week. Staring in October I would pick her up and she would complain about 1 certain kid being mean to her. She also told me who it was...

I know this can be “normal”. But he is also not standing independently (without holding onto something) He gets up with assistance easily and cruises and climbs. But he doesn’t seem to have the balance to stand alone. I have so much anxiety about it. He just turned 15 months and he’s been on...

About a month ago, our then 23-m-o started sometimes referring to us as "daddy [first name]" and "mama [first name]" seemingly out of nowhere. And now when she's talking to one of us about the other parent, it's just the first name: "Where'd go?" "Who?" "[Other parent's first name]" I think...

Parents! I'm thinking through a childcare concept and I'd love your views on your experiences. Please feel free to fill out this survey when you can! DM me if you'd like to learn more!

Its that awkward time of the year again when American's struggle with how much to tip because we can't rely on employers to pay a livable wage. I'm stuck on what to tip our daycare teachers. For context, we LOVE our daycare. They take incredible care of our two children [2.5 yrs & 11 months]...

Our baby girl slept through the night all the way up to 12 months. Around this time we also transitioned to one nap since she was refusing her second nap, she now gets 2-2.5 hrs of day sleep and bedtime falls around 7:30-8pm. Every night since maybe 2 weeks about (she is currently 13months) she...

I’m very sorry this is long so thank you if you read all of it. First of all, I try my hardest to hold firm boundaries. Maybe I could be firmer, but my husband and I have noticed the firmer we are the more he pushes back and shows highly unwanted behavior. The problem is becoming so severe to...

I’ve heard of toddlers and babies that play on their own for upwards of 30 minutes or more when they wake up in the morning, allowing parental units to continue snoozing peacefully. If you have one of those kids, how’d you get there? Like…both what coaching or modeling steps did you take and...

My 2 year old (25 months) transitioned to a toddler bed last month and it went well! He was always a great sleeper and we thought he’d get out of bed but when he wakes he’d just sit in bed and wait for us or go back to sleep. Just this week after a cold (he’s better now) he’s been waking 3-...

8.5 weeks pregnant. Went for my first U/S, no heart beat and measuring at 7 weeks. My husband travels for work and will only be home for 3 days in the next week and a half which means during the time he’s gone 1-no showers 2-minimal time to sit on the toilet 3-no time to sit on the toilet alone...

Their mother passed away a little over a year ago, they haven’t seen her in almost 2 years and hasn’t lived with us in over 3 years. Yet every time she gets in trouble, she screams for mommy and it drives me insane. It hurts my heart but at the same time it makes me angry. Any thoughts on how...

How often did your LO get sick from a daycare center? Does there come a time where they become their own biological weapon and have a super strong immunity to any illness? How sick did you and/or your partner get? Should I start taking EmergenC every day from now on?

I’m the parent of a 15 month old boy who has about 20-30 “words” that he’ll say unprompted, but many share the same sounds. He can say b, p, m, n, d, k, g but will use “gah” or some variation of it to refer to various things. He also doesn’t have the “ee” or “ey” or “ai” vowels and all his words...

Our daughter (2.5yo) has suddenly started throwing tantrums about EVERYTHING. ‘No’ is her favorite word hitting and biting (all of us, including her 9 month old baby brother who she ADORES) Fighting nap and bed time Meals are a nightmare Now this weekend started refusing to pee on the...
