Hi, I’m Katie McCann, a parenting coach, and I help with young kids’ behaviour, especially those aged two to six. Teaching sharing sounds easy, but honestly, it can be one of the trickiest things to handle as a parent. You want your child to be kind and generous, but you also want them to feel…
Why is my toddler hitting me? Picture this: you’re in the living room, and suddenly your toddler whirls around and delivers a not-so-gentle whack to your leg. Well, you aren’t the only parent to experience this! Toddler’s hitting is actually quite a common stage. They’re learning to express themselves, but don’t quite have the words…

As a mom of two, I know how exciting it is to watch your baby grow and reach new milestones. Tummy time milestones are one of those important steps in your baby’s development. Whether you’re starting tummy time right from when you bring your little one home from the hospital or a bit later, it’s…
As the sun dips below the horizon, a familiar scene unfolds: the onset of the witching hour, when my little ones, like countless others, would suddenly be engulfed in inconsolable crying, seemingly without reason.
