Daughter started putting her hands on her throat and pushing to cut off breathing. I have caught her doing this 3 times. She is almost 3. I have tried finding answers online and come up empty handed. I feel some of it is for attention. So I try not to make a huge deal. And just say stop. That’s not funny. Ouch. And remove her hands. (She likes to do it when sitting at a table or somewhere she can prop her elbows then push her head and neck down if that makes sense)
Any other moms have their kids do this? Is this a phase? I’m so lost why she would do this.
My oldest did crap like that and she would slam her head off stuff I just ignored it she would quit eventually
Yep. It's totally a phase and like you said she's doing it for attention. My daughter used to pinch herself or bang her head. Sometimes it was from being frustrated (she had a speech delay) but most of the time she just wanted my attention. Try redirecting her. That's what I found was the best way to stop the behavior. I would offer another activity or sit down and sing or read with her when she was self-harming and the behavior stopped after a few months
That’s helps. Yeah my daughter has a speech delay as well. She just recently really started talking. We have a lot of improvement to do but she is finally communicating her needs with 1-2 words and an occasional small sentence.
@tiera_shaye definitely try redirecting then since she has a delay. It really could be that she's frustrated but it sounds like she wants some extra attention and she knows you respond. Just remember to stay calm and don't overreact because she's probably not doing it hard enough to actually make herself pass out
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
I feel like she may have seen this on YouTube. One day my daughter was watching YouTube and it was a cartoon on that was doing weird stuff like that so I stopped her from watching YouTube and downloaded YouTube kids.
