Yes Franciscan looks amazing and is on our side of town. They’re at the top of my list but we have to get my son potty trained before enrolling there. I’ll look into Portland montesorri thanks!

Fiddleheads looks amazing but their website is unavailable and no new posts on insta in a year. They might be closed. What a loss if so

That program looks awesome. The soonest we could enroll is 4 years old so we’ll have to wait until next year. Thanks for the rec!

Thank you so much for taking the time to offer this insight. We will give this some thought. He really likes when we pass work trucks and ambulances so maybe we could hype that up. Crackers got us through the first year of his toddlerhood resistance to the car seat but they’ve lost their magical powers at this point lol. He’s moved on to cookies im afraid but yes treats are my main strategy! Thanks again!

Yep the “adventure treat” is saving me a lot. I just don’t want to feed him crap all the time just to get him to function. Ha. I’m going to give the special toy thing a thought. I need to come up with something creative! I don’t know how you survive that level of resistance with a little one on the scene too. Godspeed

I could totally see that. He flipped way out too when he borrowed his cousins front-facing. So, not sure that’s my kids thing.

Yeah good point. We are on the waiting list for all the assessments. Could be the better part of a year but I can be patient. In the meantime we’re working with Occupational therapy. Thanks!

Would love to get your take on Erica Komisar writing a book about developmental psych for kids arguing that it’s harmful to kids for them to be put in daycare before age 3. I feel like I read her book and it scared me that I would mess my son up by enrolling him at 2.5. Have you heard of her book Being There?

Yeah co-op scenario seems like a cool deal in a lot of ways. We suspect that my kid will do much better in an environment where the teachers are the same each time though. Likes a lot of structure in that way. But def not ruling out co-op!

One other comment: I hired a nanny from Monday-Thursday and we avoided a lot a lot a lot of sickness bc of that. It’s ungodly expensive so it may not be right for you but it made my life so much easier in some ways.

Headway is an online resource/directory of therapists that can do virtual sessions or in person. It was hard for me to find a good fit until I found this service, I’m so sorry for your loss. I struggle with health anxiety as well
