He's on the naughty side. Super happy and smart but he has a wild streak we cannot seem to curb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2352109 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 10:21:52 +0000 Alivoo01 2352109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His addiction to milk in the MOTN. He's 2 and still randomly asks for it! I know he doesn't need it, but he refuses to go back to sleep till he gets some. If I don't give it to him, he'll cry till he throws up or if I hold him. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2352091 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 10:15:18 +0000 Ree723 2352091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1: her digestive system, bowel movements in particular (sorry for the tmi). She's totally pee trained but doesn't do any big poos, just leaks little ones into her pants all day, every day. Almost like encopresis but as she's never been fully trained, it doesn't qualify as encopresis. I really worry about if we're screwing up her system and if we're ever going to get on track :-/</p> <p>DD2: nothing - she's smart as a whip and is knocking those developmental milestone out of the park at the very early end (speaking in full sentences, working on potty training, and dressing herself nearly independently at just turned 21 months old) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2352046 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:55:05 +0000 MoreCoffee 2352046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hand dominance. DS is almost three and while he primarily uses his left hand to eat, he switches back and forth when drawing or painting. I do worry it will affect his writing and other motor skills, and I read it can be an indicator of ADHD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351994 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:35:49 +0000 youboots 2351994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One leg is shorter than the other. It's a wait and see situation for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351991 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:34:51 +0000 hilsy85 2351991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: oh ok great (well not great, but you know :) ).need to figure out how to deal with it now...! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351985 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:33:24 +0000 twodoghouse 2351985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing too specific, but in general I worry that they are chronically overtired from bad sleep/multiple wake ups and aren't getting rested enough overnight to really be refreshed. </p> <p>As Alice becomes more verbal, I do worry that she's talking too much for Blake and that he's going to lag behind in communication because of this. I think it can be somewhat common for twins to experience this. Not sure how to fix it, though, because I do want to encourage her talking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351983 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:32:12 +0000 winniebee 2351983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: perfectly normal....bad behavior didn't set in for us until the newness of the baby wore off! And then....it came back with a fury once the baby was mobile! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351970 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:29:22 +0000 hilsy85 2351970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: really? That's good to hear...I was just worried because DD has been here for almost a month, but this behavior is only over the last week...and he is very good with her, and constantly saying how much he loves her, he kisses her all the time, etc. But i guess it's normal for behavior to become negative in other ways...? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351969 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:29:22 +0000 FaithFertility 2351969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is almost 11 months!<br /> Maybe standing unassisted?!? She can if she pulls herself up first then let'sgo and even is close to walking that way but if she sits and goes to stand she will lose balance quickly?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351964 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:27:59 +0000 MrsF 2351964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD - was a late walker and still has a very "immature gait" and doesn't really run normally at 3 years. I have convinced myself over the years not to worry about it. Now her preschool teachers brought it up yesterday so of course I'm worried again!</p> <p>DS - nothing big. He's slower in the language dept than M was, but she was a very early talker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351958 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:25:57 +0000 HLK208 2351958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not currently...which is weird to me since I've always worried about something. Speech just recently improved but that was probably my last big worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351957 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:25:38 +0000 winniebee 2351957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: T can't write either. He scribbles and draws things but I have no idea what they are....</p> <p>Oh, T doesn't actually know his letters yet.....I asked at his preschool conference about it and they said he's totally normal/ on track so I'm not really worried about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351948 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:23:26 +0000 Smurfette 2351948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: That is what her teachers tell me. They say she does it right 75% of the time for us. But like 5% for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351944 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:22:32 +0000 BandDmommy 2351944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I think that's common. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351916 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:11:54 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2351916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 will hold her bladder for too long and has only gone at school three times in two months. I know it will pass, but I'm worried she's doing damage to her body.</p> <p>DD2 has rocketed through her milestones so I'm not worried about her at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351915 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:11:48 +0000 Smurfette 2351915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worry about her counting. I know she can count to 10. But regularly says 1,2,7,8,9,10,11. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351907 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:08:35 +0000 BandDmommy 2351907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS- Not writing yet (he's 3)<br /> DD- nothing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351904 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:06:43 +0000 winniebee 2351904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Sounds like new baby behavior to me!!</p> <p>Not really concerns, just things I think of:</p> <p>DS1 - snacking, not wanting full meals, being rough with baby brother</p> <p>DS2 - speech....he doesn't really have words at 11m, but I'm not all that worried since his brother didn't talk much until 15 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351894 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:02:24 +0000 hilsy85 2351894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1, his behavior in general...his lack of impulse control and difficulty dealing with frustration, and lately, explosive tantrums. Seems normal for his age (3) but has kind of come up in the last week or so (probably related to the new baby!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351890 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:00:11 +0000 sorrycharlie 2351890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loose concern but yeah. DD1, the snacking. and obsession w treats. DD2, speech. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-worry-about-developmentally#post-2351885 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 08:57:08 +0000 mediagirl 2351885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worry about a small speech issue that we are working on. Also, she sucks her thumb so I worry what that will affect. </p>
