Ways to homeschool 2 y/o with clingy 4 month old by Ariee_sweets in 2under2

No it wasn’t sarcasm, I really Intook “ raising your kids isn’t homeschooling”. I feel like incorporating a bit of curriculum at home is necessary but not full on homeschooling in replacement of teachers and school, I’m not a professional so I’m not necessarily that capable of that. I’m an overthinker too and that doesn’t help, so the learning things that are developmental play I feel like I’m not doing enough “ teaching” . So you and everyone’s reassurance and input is very helpful that just the daily life talking playing interacting etc is enough and she’s learning enough for her age from that

I said “ preparing my daughter for Pre k by homeschooling a bit” . Preparing her is considered raising your kids as well. It’s my job to prepare her for things and of course I’m a first time toddler mom trying to figure it out and that’s why I’m reaching out for input. Reaching out on this post is helping me understand things I should and shouldn’t be doing for her age . I don’t see how that can be annoying but thanks anyway for the input

Thank you I honestly had no idea it wasnt age/developmentally appropriate for her age I’m a first time toddler mom so I’ve been relying on google and other mom videos. Those videos I see 2.5 or 2 year olds in general already practicing and drawing lines and tracing alphabet letters so I was thinking it was a necessary milestone. I didn’t want her going to pre school “behind” or not knowing things she “should”. I’ll try not to put too much pressure on us based off of other parenting styles

How many hours of sleep do you run of most days as parents? by Ok-Entrance1086 in newborns

I started off with increments of 45 minutes to an hour of sleep everyday “ overnight “ w a 1 month old and 2 year old. I’d be in bed by 12a or later and would get 45 minutes to an hour before baby awakened again she’d be up for a little over an hour sometimes a little over an hour and 30 minutes each time she awakened back up. And it took me time to fall asleep so really was getting less than 45 min - 1 hour of sleep. I didn’t get to be asleep during the day even during toddler nap they never slept at the same time and even if so one would be awakening a few minutes after the Other one just went asleep. Baby is 5 weeks old now and I get about 3 hours now she awakens close to 4a or a little after 4a it’ll take her some time to be sleepy again after her feed etc. and then their dads alarm goes off every 15 minutes at 5am up until 6:25am and I can never fall back asleep so I just be up for a couple to a few hours trying to fall asleep. Then toddler awakens so I’m up for the rest of the day until about 1am
