#toddlers

fr i've been following dr. brown's 5-step schedule for weeks, nightlight set to 2700k, but my kid still throws a fit when i pull out the ipad mini 6 (2022) for bedtime story. i thought the a12 bionic would keep him glued, but nope. also upgraded to the 2023 high chair with ergonomic 5‑point harness, still he climbs out. i swear i have the best gear—smart monitor 2.0, sound‑proof nursery panels, even a programmable white‑noise app—but nothing seems to stick. anyone else dealing with a toddler who outsmarts the latest tech? or is it just me being an overengineered parent? tbh need some real advice.

so i tried the usual trick, put a smiley face on the plate, but he just stared at it like a threat rn i just threw the plate in the trash can and said 'i don't care' lol i know i should be patient but my patience is low rn anyone else feel like this is a daily battle what do you do when the kid turns healthy food into a war zone
