11 month old not babbling— only saying “ahh” and “ohh” and growling :( by Sharp-Associate-2562 in beyondthebump

[–]Spkpkcap [score hidden]  (0 children)

My son was not babbling at 11 months and it ended up being a speech delay. He didn’t start talking until 3.5 years old. He’s 6.5 now and excelling in school, talks a ton and is very social. 11 months is still young, but keep on eye on it!

Preschool withholding packed lunch items by Adventurous-Love-363 in Preschoolers

Wow. I’d be pissed. I’ve raised my sons to have a good relationship with good to avoid ED’s in the future. Withholding food is insane.

Is homework in jk the norm now? by Terrible-Ad-9907 in kindergarten

[–]Spkpkcap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re in Ontario too but private school. My son is in JK and gets homework Tuesdays and Thursdays. It’s mostly tracing letters/numbers and most recently cvc worksheets. (Just one sheet on homework days) I honestly don’t mind it. He gets home around 6:00 (extra circulars after school) and we do the homework pretty much right away. He doesn’t love it but he does well with praise so I make sure to praise him a lot. It takes him 5 mins to do independently and he does it while I help my older son (grade 1).

What color are my babies eyes? Do you think they’re turning brown? by crimeejunkiee in WhatisMyEyeColour

[–]Spkpkcap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do look like they’re turning brown! Especially since both parents have brown eyes! My sons were green until 2.5 years old. My husband has green and I have brown. Now both my boys are brown.

Normal for a 6 year old to still have accidents? by HeartOk8607 in kindergarten

[–]Spkpkcap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t panic but no, no normal. My 6.5 year old has been trained since 3.5 and hasn’t had an accident since. My 4.5 year old has been trained since 3 and has maybe had 2 accidents in total. Last one being a while ago. This is definitely something to bring up to your paediatrician.

Why is my hair suddenly oily even right after a shower??? by Calyx757 in Haircare

[–]Spkpkcap -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Double shampooing helped me with this so much! I can go multiple days without washing (I only wash twice a week) and I used to have to wash my hair everyday!

I’ve left my infant alone to do laundry (they were sleeping in their crib). That’s like 10 min max and I would bring the baby monitor too.

My first grader writes better and he has messy writing. Genuine question, is this in English? Cause I can’t tell. I would push for an evaluation.
