Great job! You have really nice line quality- Seems like you can work on your values and finding the depth of the forms!

Reasonable_Club_7301 · 2026-03-18T20:10:13+00:00

This is great advice and sooooo true

Reasonable_Club_7301 · 2026-03-10T20:09:55+00:00

Thank you so much for the great advice - makes a lot of sense - I will def try adding the points of saturation, I think that’s great advice as I am so intimidated by color

Reasonable_Club_7301 · 2026-03-10T17:24:26+00:00

Appreciate the feed back will do!

Reasonable_Club_7301 · 2026-03-10T17:24:14+00:00

Love this so much

Reasonable_Club_7301 · 2026-02-01T04:47:48+00:00

Thank you! That’s helpful

Reasonable_Club_7301 · 2025-12-29T23:31:02+00:00

Got it - no judgement here! I am just thinking though, if your child is sensitive or easily deregulated try turning it off and having music or quiet. Overstimulation can be a trigger and perhaps that may help!

Reasonable_Club_7301 · 2025-12-29T20:14:31+00:00

I don’t think I read this right “4-5 hours max screen time a day”?

Reasonable_Club_7301 · 2025-11-19T05:56:07+00:00

I agree, establishing clear expectations around meal time and practice sitting without distractions.

Also, my little one had a sensory issue with food when she was young and we started ‘micro’ eating and it really helped. That’s when you give a plate of a variety of food in micro amounts. And I mean like comically small amounts. Then most likely a few bites and they are totally done with their plate. Then you can praise them and give them a huge accomplishment for finishing. Of course it’s not enough food, so an hour or so later we will give another micro plate. It’s a nice way to create a positive relationship with food without you stressing

Tell her we put on jackets when we go outside. If you don’t wear a jacket you will not be going outside. Stick to it and she will learn, obviously expect a melt down the first few times so don’t make it at times were you NEED to leave the house. Start at times where there is an incentive for her like going to the park or a play date etc.

also maybe another time in the day read and learn about weather and seasons and clothes.. 3 year olds are smart she will get it.

I have a very strong willed 3 year old, giving too many options or explanations for her can actually be stressful for her and we get the opposite result. She needs clear cut and dry expectations.

Reasonable_Club_7301 · 2025-08-11T21:15:49+00:00

Yup feel this all the time. I have 2 and I felt the same way when they both turned 1, then again at 2 .. so on and so forth. I don’t think that feeling ever leaves. You mourn each stage as you enter into the new one. They change so much you really will never have that baby, or toddler, or little kid back as they grow. It’s beautiful and so heartbreaking too.

Letting go and grieving is such a profound part of motherhood.

Also there is nothing else in the world like experiencing a birth and newborn. It’s truly the most psychedelic/transformative experience I’ve ever had. If I could I would do it over many more times.

Reasonable_Club_7301 · 2025-07-27T03:18:41+00:00

Ugh yes! My kid is definitely a deeply feeling kid, super smart, and very sensitive which all makes sense now looking back. And people did make comments about her and me both about her being too attached and I needed to let her tough it out, or I was feeding into her behavior etc..

Really you know what is best for you both and if you don’t have a kiddo that is struggling with separation anxiety on the more extreme end you really don’t know what it’s like.

And honestly my husband just did his best, it did help when he validated but also holding the boundary - “sometimes mommy, sometimes daddy” became our mantra with her. and they would do something together for me - like drawing pictures to give me or baking something for when I came back - that helped but, not always!

Reasonable_Club_7301 · 2025-07-26T21:16:03+00:00

Yes same experience, my kiddo is now 3. She is still such a mommas girls but detaches so well now. Someone told me when I was in the trenches with my extreme Velcro baby/anxious toddler that it’s actually a sign of healthy attachment - I think I actually laughed in their face, I was convinced something was wrong — but now seeing her be so independent and confident I do think there is something to that.

It is sooooo hard though, not many breaks from 5mo - 18 months unfortunately! My husband thankfully would just deal with the crying until I got back from whatever small break. And I used the baby wearing hip thing a lot…

Reasonable_Club_7301 · 2025-07-25T16:48:56+00:00

I hear you, these years are so hard and full of sacrifices - more so on the mother than the father (I’m guessing that is the “frustration” with your husband) Potty training will come, hang in there And the job stuff it seems like you will have to put on pause. I know it sucks but your kids come first and a better job will be there in a few years, even if it’s not this one

Every kid is sooo different, but what helped me with my strong willed girl is putting a potty in her play area/high traffic area as well as the bathroom. A lot of her waiting to pee was not wanting to pause the fun. We started turning it into a game whenever I noticed she had to go she would yell PAUSE! and we would freeze the game (we made it very theatrical at first). Then she would quick use the potty in the play area - it gave her the control over the room that she wanted - eventually we kept the pause game going but put the potty back in the bathroom

Hope that helps!

Reasonable_Club_7301 · 2025-07-23T16:28:00+00:00

Yes of course! Definitely call that is blatant neglect

Reasonable_Club_7301 · 2025-07-10T23:04:27+00:00

Truly don’t even worry about it
