One small step for Baby, one large step (or mad dash to prevent disaster) for Mumkind

[ninja]

Hi, Welcome to the new thread, the one where we can't drink a cup of tea in peace (there you go, we could have used that for a title!!)

I was in bodyshop yesterday and M trashed the place. Luckily the sales assistant thought she was sweet as she pulled things off displays and legged it out the shop with jars of body butter (several times)!!, cue me legging it after her with a handful of makeup . Luckily there were no store detectives aroud. She also tried to wear every shoe within her reach at the shoe shop.

digi - you're being far too tough on yourself. I'm sure we all slip into a pattern and then think 'how the hell did that happen?' - I know I do.

Pick what is important to you and tackle them one by one and slowly slowly.

Make sure there are NO pens/pencils/crayons in his vision - that way he can't get upset if he can't have them. Once you think he's probably gotten over his fascination with pens, then reintroduce them into the house, but where he can't get to them. M has a pen fascination too.

I only mentioned ears as maybe he may have an infection or ear ache. When you wrote your post, my brain linked the head banging and screaming tantrums and came up with ears, but I'm not a hcp.

new thread here ladies

I started off a new thread as we're running out of space

Santa
