Lo biting classmates and me

My lo recently had been going around to bite his classmates. I checked with the sch, there was nothing which trigger him. He just went over and bite. What should I do to prevent it? He just bite me and I scolded him, he cried out loudly and hide under the table. But when we called him to come out, he will come out. But does it normal for toddler to hide under the table? Btw, he is 19 months TIA

It’s probably just a phase. Read some books about biting, eg “Teeth are not for biting”. Can be found in NLB.

I strongly suggest to bring to a PD or KKH if he hasn’t been eating for long period as we doesn’t want baby boy to be dehydrated then it will be another issue. At this moment, please don’t put him close to baby girl and remember to sanitise your hands before touching baby girl (we gonna keep her safe)

take it easy mom. Try putting some oil on tummy and massage it. Sometimes babies get like that if they have an upset stomach or colic.

What not to do when toddlers are sick

What fruits should we avoid when your toddler or baby has the flu? And can you bathe toddlers hair when they are sick?

Fruits are OK, but if the child has cough and phlegm then avoid sour fruits. Neutral fruits like apples and papaya are OK.

Toddler sleep

Hi all, my 22mo has been sleeping independently since birth, transitioned to toddler bed since 19mo n had no issues until recently. She constantly asks to be patted to sleep every night or in the day for naps, if we don't, she throws a fit n cries till we do or she vomits or falls asleep. We've almost never patted her to sleep since birth as we didn't want her to become reliant on being coaxed to sleep, she started childcare at 18mo n i believe the teachers do pat them to sleep in school n that's where she picked this up from. Any suggestions on what we should do? Tried reasoning with her but doesn't really work, mostly we just ignore her tantrums or sit on her bed for awhile but not touch her, sometimes we'll pat her if it's already way past bedtime just so she can go to sleep. Night routine is usually, change of diaper n clothes, put her in her own bed, give her a bottle of milk n leave the room n do some chores or whatever. She has comfort objects, blanket n pacifier all of which she uses mostly Just quite tired of the almost nightly tantrums especially with a newborn on the way in a few weeks 🤦🏻‍♀️ Should be cave in or let her be?

It has to be a home-school partnership. You can let teachers know that she used to sleep independently at home and now request patting from you. Let teachers know that she can sleep on her own and refrain from patting your girl.

Any unique tips that will surely help my 4year old to write better? She finds it hard to write within the blue-red-blue pattern.

I used to tutor children of all ages and handwriting was an issue for some of them. Usually, it just takes practice and patience. Especially with children of that age. Make sure you always correct how your daughter holds the pencil/pen and then work on form from there. I followed guidelines that were similar to the 5 steps on this page: http://kidshealth.org/en/kids/handwriting.html# Follow those guidelines and your daughter will improve in no time.

Eating biscuits

Does your 2.5 year old eat the sides of biscuits (or other food) and return u the middle part, then ask for a new piece of biscuit? Any idea how to stop this habit? 😓

Read books about food wastage. Talk to him about good habits. Maybe also ask for the reason why he dont want eat the middle part? Maybe he just wanna do the “sharing is caring” with family. But u know the reason and it’s not a good habit, then never give a second pc even if throw tantrums. Once you give in, baby wins and he knows that whenever he cry / throw tantrums he will win. First few tantrums usually very bad, but once they know it’s useless, they will stop.

Helper needs

Hi, im a FTWM. My 2yr old toddler goes to childcare and my infant is 3m old. I have a helper but she is quite blur. No safety cautious but she is good and loves my child. I send my toddler to CC daily. Except weekends. But im gg back to work as my ML has ended. Wondering how to manage bringing a baby out while fetching toddler from sch? (Need to take bus, few bus stops away, need cross traffic light and no shelter if raining) . My baby also tends to be awake when my toddler is home. Thus making my helper difficult to attend to both at the same time. My husband and I can't fetch my toddler from sch as we end work at 6pm by the time the centre is closed at 7plus pm. Can any mums share ur experience? I want things to be easier for her so i can go to work at ease. I have been worrying the whole entire time. 🥲#pleasehelp

I can certainly relate. The first thing I’d like to suggest is letting the CC know about the difficulties you’re facing and see if they can help you out. Second, teach your helper how to baby wear. Whether she picks your toddler up or not, very good and useful skill. A third option - expensive no doubt- would be to send your helper by grab to pick your toddler and back on rainy days. As for days with good weather, do a run through. Have your helper learn to get up the bus with a baby and a stroller. Yet another way, make friends with your child’s school’s parents. Perhaps someone who drives can help you out by dropping your LO back home and your helper can come downstairs to receive your tot? Then you can make personal arrangements like giving a monthly fee or trade a skill.

Eating fishball

Is it ok for my child to eat abt 10 small fishball every week?

Try not to give too much processed food, instead try making your own fishballs. ☺️
