I am strugglin right now. I am a SAHM with two kids, a 2.5 yo, A, and a baby who is 6 m, F. Right now, A is having trouble letting F explore anything, even if it isn't A's toy/item (ex. A door to the parents bathroom). A is getting very violent and has started biting, hitting and kicking...

Okay first time mom and my son is my only child at this point. He just turned 2.5 and for the last couple of weeks he has been back and forth on refusing naps. Some days he only cries for a few minutes others it’s full screams. It started when we ended up having to skip a nap when we took a...

Lately I just suck. My husband is in school for his new job/contract (active duty) and spends M-F in the field, then PT Saturday and Sunday mornings, and is at formation Sunday afternoons. I stay at home with our 19mo and we’re 4+ hours from family and friends. And I am just worn out. I was...

Hi I hope someone can point me in the right direction. My 2 year old as of this week has been waking up for the day at 3am. He wasn’t a good sleeper before but at least is up for the day at 5-6am. I am unsure what happened but now he just doesn’t want to sleep once he cries awake at 3. His...

So I have a 2 year old and I’m not even exaggerating when I say he is the pickiest eater. It started when he started eating. I can name about 10 or less foods he’ll eat, probably less. I’ve tried EVERYTHING. Sitting together to eat, making him wait also I should tell you he will wait and refuse...

Totally happy with her crib, also we had our 2nd baby in February so...regression with bottle and potty too. But we'll need the crib in a few months for baby, so want to get her in the bed sooner than later to allow a time buffer so she doesn't think baby is like "taking" her crib over. Help...

Im an au pair for a 28 month old, Parents want me to ask her questions while she engages in play but I’ve found that letting them explore things without my interruption is great for developing independence. Not quite sure how to approach the situation now as I don’t want the parents to think I’m...

The last time my daughter sat in a baby carrier was several months/pounds ago. She’s since become an independent walker, though she’s still well under the weight limit for carrier use. However, we’re about to travel by plane, and I’ve never taken her through an airport/on a plane without...

My 3 year old straight up refuses to learn her abc’s. I probably sound crazy but she starts school in September and as a December baby I desperately want her to be prepared. I’ve tried flash cards, books, games. She wants nothing to do with it. I’m considering putting her in kumon. Anybody have...

I don’t have a good relationship with my mom, just need to put this out there first. It’s extremely strained and she is stepping over boundaries constantly. Because of this I see her maybe 1 time every 2-3 months. She never notifies me of she is sick or anything before our planned visits, as...

What do I do? My son is 4.5yrs old (a little old for this subreddit, but his emotional skills seem to be behind the curve, so I figured others might be able to relate) and is really struggling to regulate himself while he's at daycare. Last week he ramped up his negative behavior by spitting...

EDIT THE MOVIE not the concert. I was on the fence. We’re extremely conservative with violence in tv and movies (any hitting or something that reinforces using your hands) and so she’s pretty limited to g rated stuff Now I know there’s some cursing but she has a speech delay and most pretty...

G 2.5 - we did a bare bottom weekend and ended it in undies, really wish we’d had the extra 3rd day but on Monday at preschool she did pretty okay, had 2 pee accidents and a poo accident. Then Tuesday she has a big wee before school and her teachers report at end of the day - she REFUSED to even...

i’m planning to buy a minnie mouse ear headband from hk disneyland for my 1 year old niece and i’m just wondering if it’s safe for toddlers to wear that kind of headband or will it cause adverse effects e.g. cause headache, skull deformation, etc

Hi, We have a 25 lb average hight 18mo child and need to get him a new carseat becuse we have a 2nd on the way. Safety is our top concern and will continue to rear face him for as long as possible. Knowing that EU regulations and testing are significantly more stringent and we will need to...
