Our - now 15 months old - daughter used to (and sometimes still uses) the step-crawl mix which I've never seen before. It's very funny to watch and I didn't realize until now that this technique has got a name, since I'd never seen any other baby doing it. Thanks for this video, very informative!

1st week home with our newborn, she burped up through both her nose and mouth while laying on her back. As she continued sputtering and choking and crying, I calmly lifted her out, rolled her face down, and started wiping her face before burping her some more. My wife was shocked at how calm I was. 8 years lifeguarding! If they're coughing or crying, they're still fine.

I’ve come to investigate. My 6 month old granddaughter who smiles constantly she really is delightful. But she does this thing with her hands constantly. I call it tai chi hands. She does a soft flow wave meditation type motion constantly. I’m not sure if that is just her motor skills developing or something else

What about toddlers and shyness/social anxiety? My 2 year old daughter is very talkative and playful at home with us and at the park with her aunts and cousin. However she will point her head down, avoid eye contact, get very quiet, and stiffen her body when interacting with strangers or family members she doesn't see very regularly. Also if someone who she isn't comfortable picks her up or holds her hand without permission will make her cry and call for mom or dad I'm worried about her going to school in the future because it seems she will have a lot of anxiety. For example she is in swim classes and is fine with her teacher and classmates But she cries at the front desk workers and substitute teachers

Ignore the disrespectful idiots. Your concern is valid. Social skills are very important, and as we can see from some comments, some people have poor social skills. First, figure out if it’s just normal shyness or true anxiety. Try to find books about meeting new people and read them together. You can also prepare her for meeting new people and family members. Before they come over let her know who’s coming. Show her pictures of the person she will meet and praise her for little things like waving or saying hello. You can even do this with FaceTime, but make sure you prep her for the encounter first. Give her space to just take her time, and warm up to new people, she may just be an introvert which is perfectly fine. It may take a while so don’t get frustrated.

Have you tried modeling the proper way to use the toys? You can also teach gentle vs. rough playing and provide positive reinforcement when they play gently. Also, when you hand them a toy don’t say “don’t throw it.” Just hearing the word “throw” might make them want to throw it. Instead give them a command that matches what you want them to do like “hug the bear”, “drive the truck”, “ bounce the ball.”

When they first learn to crawl it’s not uncommon for them to initially push themselves backwards. With time they should start to crawl in a forward direction.

It all depends. If he is doing it to communicate something or gain your attention then yep (as we usually respond quickly to a loud scream). But if he is screaming for no apparent reason then it might be good to check in with the doctor to have a check up and discuss your concerns.
