bit another kid at daycare twice
“
My 2 year old bit another kid at daycare twice this month. I don't want to spank him but time-outs just make him scream louder. His pediatrician mentioned he might have some sensory issues. How do I discipline him without making things worse?
wants a curfew of 1am

texts me at midnight accusing me

My ex and I split custody of our 8 year old three years ago. He still texts me at midnight accusing me of turning her against him, then shows up late to pickups without warning. I want our daughter to have two stable homes but he makes every handoff a fight.
