  • Older child dominates younger child

    Is it normal that the first kid influences, shape and maybe even overshadows your second kids? Am I in my head that my oldest has robbed my second of his own baby years and own individuality because he entered a world of chaos with such a dominating brother? Does separating them help to give them their own space to grow and develop?

  • Moving to toddler bed— how do I keep my headstrong toddler in his room

    Had to move my 2.5 year old into the toddler bed setting of his crib because he was hurting himself by climbing and falling out. Now he’s stoked on the new freedom and waltzes out of his room a million times. Last night we tried to get him down at 7:30pm but didn’t go to sleep (and we had to go back in each time) until 10pm when he finally let us rock him to sleep. The past year he’s gone down on his own in his crib, no fight. Any tips on what we can do to keep him in his bed and in his room so we can all get sleep? We’ve tried bargaining with him (he’s way too smart), we do the regular calming routine and everything.

  • How to encourage solo play?

    We have one child and they are not big on solo/independent play. Any way we can encourage this more? Mostly just that we need a break sometimes or have chores to do (and yes she can help with these but sometimes it’s so much easier/faster without the help lol).
