I’ve also got a 2 year old that’s a pain in the butt at the minute. Lots of whinging and loss of independence he just wants to play or be on me ALLLLLL the time. It is a lotI know it’s normal but the change in my son since he hit 2 years oldhe was happy independent boy, now our day is mostly crying and tantrums. It’s just so difficult. Nursery have also said he’s much more emotional about toys and demanding certain toys!
Trust me you are definitely not a failure. Perhaps she is coming down with something?I honestly don’t know what to do anymore about my 3 yr olds sleep. Saturday she woke for the day at 3.45am and didn’t go back to sleep. Yesterday she was awake 3.15-4.45am and tonight I’ve been up with her since 1.45 and it’s 4.10. I work almost full time and she is in nursery. I don’t know how she is running on empty. If I leave the room she totally freaks out. She won’t sleep on my bed unless she’s in the mood to go back to sleep. I feel like such a failure of a mum.
Our LO went through this a bit last year (mainly loose ones). She’d go 3 times in an hour so we’d have to collect her from nursery and then she’d be fine for days/weeks then it would come back again so we knew it wasn’t a bug type thing.Has anyone ever had any experience of IBS in little ones? It’s not diagnosed, but we never get normal poos. Either constipated or loose. Google suggests that’s what it is (I’m not sold on Google!) but I wonder if anyone has ever known it before we face the drs again x
That’s where my concern is going because he’s starting nursery in July.Our LO went through this a bit last year (mainly loose ones). She’d go 3 times in an hour so we’d have to collect her from nursery and then she’d be fine for days/weeks then it would come back again so we knew it wasn’t a bug type thing.
We did go to the docs and we had to provide a stool sample (that was fun!) and then it was analysed and come back fine. I think it was diet related (maybe consuming too much fruit and the natural sugars made them looser).
I would probably keep a food diary for a while and see if there are any patterns so at least you have something to show GP? x
We did lactulose and had support from dietician with no help but laxatives seem to be helping!Did they say to offer lactulose? It did loosen things when our little one was constipated a while back.
Their tummies and bowels are still so sensitive, I hope you get to bottom of it as it can be so stressful for everyone!
Does she have friends at pre school that are going to school? My son was a lot more confident about school when he knew a few of his friends were going with him, incase that’s any help xxxxMy 4 year olds preschool are preparing them to leave for school and it’s really not helping my daughter. She doesn’t want to leave, she’s scared of starting school as they’re telling her how she’ll have to do this and that as that’s what they do at school. Why can’t they just let her enjoy her last month there. Surely it’s the schools jobs to prepare them with their rules. Isn’t that what the first term is?!
Honestly the emotional outbursts are totally draining me and my partner. I’m hoping it improves once she has some settling in sessions with the school because this is tough. It doesn’t fill me with confidence on how school will be for her. I can’t go through the meltdowns and school refusal again
Yes she has two friends from preschool going there with her. One is a good friend too. But her best friend isn’t going with her so she’s bereft. She says she won’t feel safe without her best friend there.Does she have friends at pre school that are going to school?

Oh bless her!! Are school doing much? We have 2 activities before school breaks up and school goes to nursery for a morning.Yes she has two friends from preschool going there with her.

I’ve signed her up to the preschool holiday club over the summer and will have lots of play dates with them which I’ve told her. I think it’s just the unknown which is worrying her. I had her in my bed last night and she’s asked if she can stay until she leaves preschool
