How's everyone keeping their kiddos social?

Hey mamas! Hope everyone's hanging in there. I'm worried because I've been home watching my kiddo meaning she's not going to daycare and socializing how she normally would! Do you set up Zoom playdates or what? I'm so lost!

I want to talk about parenting style with my partner, but it's hard!

Hey mama's. I want to talk with my partner about how we're going to be as parents before our little one is born. Of course we've talked about it but I am trying to bring logistics more into focus like splitting up childcare and housework etc. Any suggestions?!

I’m worried because my daughter seems to have some delays, advice?

She’s 2 y.o and has limited communication, does not interact much with other children, and takes part in minimal play. I know she needs to be evaluated but I’m trying to prepare myself. Can other mamas share some of their experiences?

Positive thoughts during hard times 💜

Hi ladies just wanted to share some positive thoughts during these tough times! Leave me a comment letting me know how you are staying positive 😊
I’m staying positive cuz even though things are scary right now I know how much I am helping the families I serve at my FCC and I know how much that allows those families to help our community. Feeling very lucky to be able to work with children and seeing their smiling faces every morning. Sending sunshine! ☀️💖
