Toddlers

My 3-year-old son is starting daycare soon and I’m afraid he’ll have a lot of separation anxiety - he hasn’t spent hardly any time away from my husband and me until now. I don’t want it to be traumatic for him (or us!). Any tips to prep for the first day?

Dear friends,
My son will be 4 y.o. in February. Could you please advise me on your favorite event companies? I think he will be happy with a Bounce house.

Any tips on how to make mornings with little ones less stressful? I just returned to work last month after being a stay-at-home mom for three years, so our 3-year-old started daycare. The shift has been tough on all of us. He’s having tantrums, a hard time with wake-ups, issues with eating his breakfast, you name it.

Long Beach fams, I need your help asap! I am so sick of taking my family to the SAME THREE RESTAURANTS every time we go out. Please give me some suggestions for more restaurants that will make me happy and keep my little ones happy too!

Hi there WeeCare parents - I need help with finding some good stores in the NoHo LA area for children’s formal clothes. My sister’s wedding is coming up and I will need a dress for my 4 yo and a little suit for my 2 yo! A store that also sells formal shoes for kiddos would be a PLUS! Also, we all know that they’re going to grow out of these outfits before I have a chance to blink, so somewhere not too expensive would be amazing too!

When I heard other parents complaining about the terrible twos, I thought our toddler was just a sweet exception to the rule. Now that she’s nearing two and a half, I finally get it. We are in a LOUD, public tantrum phase. ISO the best soothing methods, stat.

Has anyone had any amazing children’s birthday parties in the Long Beach area? We didn’t throw a party for my son’s first birthday, and for his second birthday we had a little party at our home, but it was too stressful having it at home. This year I want to have it somewhere. Any ideas? Thank you so so much. I just have no clue where to even look!

Hi! We live in an apartment in the Inglewood area and my daughter has started wanting to learn how to ride a bike! Are there any good parks with bike paths in the area that we could visit to teach her how? It can get pretty busy on the streets here, so I’d rather her learn on a bike path/area than on the neighborhood streets. Thx Inglewood mamas.

It’s time for my son’s first haircut! Inglewood parents, where should I take him? I want someone who knows how to cut hair, but I also want to obviously take him somewhere that’s not going to scare him - getting your hair cut (especially for boys) for the first time can be so scary! Help please! Any suggestions or ideas you have are welcome :)
