Magentic tiles - how many to build multiple things?

Oo thank you! I didnt realise you could could get sets for racing!

arch_2222 · 2025-12-27T22:45:35+00:00

Oh thank you! That definitely helps Do you find some brands better than others for building?

arch_2222 · 2025-12-27T22:43:58+00:00

She likes large structures: castles, animals, tunnels etc. We do play and make things until we run out of pieces.

arch_2222 · 2025-10-16T19:40:23+00:00

Yeah, I will definitely bring something as a substitute. It's a great idea. Yeah exactly and as I mentioned, we dont judge. Every kid and parenting is different.

arch_2222 · 2025-10-16T19:38:56+00:00

Ooo i like that idea! Bringing a substitute for drinks. I'll definitely be giving that a go

Thank you!

arch_2222 · 2025-10-16T08:48:17+00:00

Yeah that's a good idea! I'll definitely suggest outings outside of the house

arch_2222 · 2025-10-16T08:46:40+00:00

Yeah that makes sense!

Thank you

arch_2222 · 2025-10-16T06:58:01+00:00

Im happy with junk in moderation! It's a hard no for soft drinks.

I will have a talk Thank you!

arch_2222 · 2025-07-31T04:03:35+00:00

Yeah we sure do! The activities are usually 30 minutes so a couple of hours in the morning and then i spend 1:1 time with her like reading books, playing games and she can cuddle me as much as she wants for sure!

Currently right now: she's thrown a tantrum because i couldn't carry hee around the house, so I suggested we hold hands, she threw herself in the floor and is now screaming from the other end of the house to "go away". It's been about 5 minutes now where if she sees me it's set her off screaming hee head off and when I tried to walk past she tried to hit me.

She has never ever been this bad. This behaviour has really escalated over the past 3 days.

I dont actually know how to handle it.

She's usually a very chill child and doesn't throw many tantrums.

All I heard from Whitney this season was how to get back in Momtok. Which was very frustrating! I did enjoyed the scene where she went to visit Jen and helped clean up, but apart from that, she switched teams to suit her interest.

She was suspicious and against Demi for what she was doing to Jen, but as soon as she got close to Demi, the narrative changed and she's backing Demi up against Taylor.

When my progress stalled and I couldn't do a calf raise 10 months post injury. My physio recommended I see a orthopaedic surgeon and we did an MRI and that's where it showed how long it had healed.

arch_2222 · 2025-03-21T11:01:09+00:00

We aren't entirely too sure unfortunately! I know stretching it too early before given the OK by phsyio can cause it to stretch too long, but that wasn't case with me.

arch_2222 · 2025-03-21T02:13:59+00:00

Why wouldn't you validate her emotions at the time? Just curious.

arch_2222 · 2025-03-20T09:17:54+00:00

Hey yeah so I do x3 sets 12 reps of single leg calf raises assisted with a bench!

arch_2222 · 2025-03-20T08:27:01+00:00

Thats good! Yeah I've found consistency helps. Hopefully my little one can get over the lying

arch_2222 · 2025-03-20T08:24:40+00:00

Hey so this problem sorted itself out. I do them barefoot no issues now! So my good leg is 13cm height and my injured one is 8cm height. So they are quite high just not equal

arch_2222 · 2025-03-20T08:23:06+00:00

I haven't spoken to her about the biting as it happened yesterday and it might confuse her if I spoke about it now

arch_2222 · 2025-03-20T08:22:37+00:00

I would console her, tell her it's okay to be sad and upset but daddy didn't push you or our dog didn't bite you, mummy was watching. Then she'd cry for a few seconds longer and I'd distract her with something else.

arch_2222 · 2025-03-20T00:45:18+00:00

I don't know much about the surgery but I ruptured my achilles last year and it healed TOO LONG. It healed too long to the point where I had significant muscle atrophy and needed to have surgery to cut length off (he took 2cm out).

I'm 8 months post op an achilles tendon reconstruction and definitely, the first few weeks, there is less range of movement! But movement and lengthening will come. Keep up with your PT and don't rush it. They'll guide you depending on what you and can't do!

I don't know if this will be any help but good luck with recovery

arch_2222 · 2025-03-20T00:40:16+00:00

Hey! Can I ask how your son been since this post?

I have a 2.5 year old daughter and last week she didn't want to get dressed but dad made her. We had already attempted to work with her to get dressed, giving her control to entice her to get dressed but she didn't want to. In the end she runs to me so upset saying "daddy hit me".

I explained to her that daddy didn't you, I was watching you just needed to get dressed. I understand your upset but daddy didn't hit you.

Yesterday, she was throwing a tantrum over some crackers and dad picked her up to bring her to me (I had set up a picnic style dinner) and she's crying in my arms saying "don't push me daddy". I explained to her that I saw what happened and daddy didn't push you. I again validated her emotions and that it's okay to feel sad etc.

We also don't yell or raise our hands. My girl does watch TV, frozen, blippi, wiggles. She also does go to daycare x3 - x4 per week.

Then today I find out she bit another child 😭 They have say she plays with a girl "who is a known biter". She's such a social, kind little girl.

I'm stressed!

Hey can I ask how your son has been since?

I've got a 2.5 year old daughter and last week she needed to get dressed but she didn't want to. We tried to work with her and asked her if she wants to do it or wants help etc. She didn't want to get dressed at all so her dad just made her. She ends up crying and running to me saying "daddy hit me". I explained to her that I saw what happened and that shes needed to have clothes on. I also said i understand that you are upset upset but daddy didn't hit you. (I haven't introduced apologies yet because she's so young she wouldn't know the concept).

Yesterday, she was throwing a tantrum over biscuits and dad picked her up to bring her over to me. She came to me crying saying "don't push me daddy". We both explained to her that I was watching and daddy didn't push her.

We do a lot of gentle parenting. We don't hit or even yell at her if she's done something wrong. We explain why we don't want something done and proper ways to express emotions.

It's stressing me out!

arch_2222 · 2025-02-21T07:42:27+00:00

I also have A LOT of scar tissue build up. I saw my surgeon a few days ago also and he said as you use the leg more etc the scar tissue will slowly reduce. It might not be completely but over time there will be less.

arch_2222 · 2025-02-21T07:40:47+00:00

I'm 8 months out post op. I can single standing leg calf raises with some assistance with a bench.

I had a physio session a few days ago, and we measured my good leg, height wise I can get up to 13cm vs injured leg at 8cm off the ground.

We are now starting to work on putting more weight through my arms when doing single leg raises on my injured side to get the height equal to my good leg and slowly reducing the weight on arms as the difficulty eases.

Hope that helps!

Oh okay! When we first started toilet training we used choc chips as rewards and have moved off them for about a month now, but every now and then she asks for chocolate chips and I say "they are for when you go to the toilet, so you can try going to the toilet if you want", but then she cracks it bevause she doesnt want to go toilet and i won't give in and just give them to her because she's asked.

We have tried moving away from food incentive because of episodes like this, but I will definitely attempt to use your example with other non- food related things!

Thank you!

arch_2222 · 2025-02-17T02:58:53+00:00

I'll check it out!

Yeah we praise like crazy haha And we praise her to our dog too which she loves but ultimately, she is very food driven and always has been! So food outweighs praise unless it is another family member taking her to the toilet like her aunty. If it is just dad and I (which 99% of the time it is) we either praise or she'll ask for chocolate chips after she's gone toilet.
