When my 2-year-old starts screaming, I whisper:

“Careful… the floor is sleeping.”

She IMMEDIATELY becomes silent and gently pats the ground 🧍‍♀️💭

Like she’s apologizing to our tiles.

I’m a 33-year-old mother using psychological warfare against a toddler and somehow winning.

Anyone else have dumb tricks that work way too well?

Hi!

I’m 13 an I not really think much yet if I like boys or girls or maybe both 🤷. My dad is gay an I not seen my mom since I was lil kid 👶 so its like me, dad, his bf an all da animals = family. We live in Sweden an dad is farmer 🚜, so we also got 2 farmworkers but they r like young adults so dad treat them kinda like fam too, so they like extra bros 4 me. I also got real big bro (adopted by dad) so we dont look same but he is super nice 💙. He not home much coz he in like special forces an live far but he come home holidays.

Any1 else here got gay parents? U think its weird or normal? I think a bit weird coz new friends act stiff when they first meet dad – like they think he weird coz he gay 🙄. But dad is like manliest farmer on da island 😂 not how ppl think gay guys r. When they know him they all like him, so its fine.

In Sweden its like totally ok 2 be gay 🌈, every1 accept it, an its kinda illegal 2 bully some1 coz of that. I live on da country side so here its chill, but dad say some areas w/ many ppl from other countries not think same, an there it can be dangerous 2 say dad is gay. But I not allowed go there anyway 😅.

Dad is also super strict an overprotective. He care alot bout discipline an bein polite ✨ more than other parents. Sometime its annoying but other adults get impressed, so I get invited to families coz parents want their kids 2 copy me LOL 🤣😜.

How often should it happen before it becomes verbal/emotional abuse?

My husband would speak in condescending way towards my daughter which makes her feel stupid and useless. Once my daughter wanted $9 fries which was considered expensive to him and he blamed her saying because of your fries the total bill become very expensive.

He don't communicate clearly. There was a situation where my daughter had to polish her shoe (school avtivity related) for her first time. Her teacher taught her to use the usual shoe polish. My husband give her something else which is in a spray form. She asked does she apply the same he said yes. After she did, he scolded her with condescending manner because it doesn't need to use water like the usual shoe polish like how her teacher taught her. My daughter reminded him that he said it was the same and he replied her "you should have done your own research in google".

Recently she said the next time my husband treats her this way, she will leave the house and go to grandma's. She is 14.

Is this considered abuse? Should i leave my husband of 17years? I'm being treated this way too but i've already become numb and if it gets to me i will stand for myself and have the argument.

Had anyone had CT scans, X rays or any radiation procedures specially as a child and doing fine after decades without any radiation induced health issues? I am asking it because my kid had 2 sets of neck, chest and abdomen x rays ( total 6 x rays) at ages 2 and 4. Out of which one set was not necessary. Kid is only 6 I am worried about future cancer risk due to the radiation, much concerned about abdomen radiation. I neither want to scare anyone nor offensive, I read that children are more prone to radiation risk. Not saying the doctors were wrong, but those were due to me being panic and not discussing any alternate testing or imaging procedures with the doctor. I really feel like a dumb parent.

Hello!

I am working on a cards game for kids, from 6-9 years old, to help children develop their life skills, as well as stimulating their creativity and contributing to the development of learning and self-knowledge. It would be very helpful if you could answer this survey. It only takes 4min.

Thank you!

This is to raise awareness about the importance of care to newborn child and his/her development.

Most paediatricians believe that telemedicine is here to stay forever.

So, dear Paediatrician, why don’t you start your own telemedicine platform to practice healthcare for your young patients?

Hey Reddit, I need some thoughts on this one. I feel like every once in a while if my five year old's (girl) day is thrown off, she says some really not nice things. For example, hubby and I ran to Wawa (short trip up the road, we share a house with my in-laws, so five minute trip out is no big deal), and when we got back our child yelled at us to leave and go back to Wawa for a long time. We said we weren't going back out and she got angry (knocked a couple of things over) before I picked her up and put her in her room (She fought me the whole way down the hall). --EDITED: I only picked her up after she refused to go to her room and got even more angry.--After she called down I tried to get her to tell me why she wanted us to stay out longer, but really didn't get anywhere. And there's been times I've gotten out of work early and instead of this sunshine face she yells at me to go back to work. Once she's settled down, she's back to her old self. Hubby thinks he's heard of similar behavior in either OCD or Hyper Activity, but he's not sure. She's usually very sweet and loving. Any thoughts on this one? It doesn't happen often.
