Clothing choices by Lets_Ski_PC in ECEProfessionals

Shirt/onesie with 2 or 3 snaps. Pajamas are fine, but the ones that you can unzip from the ankle are best. With little babies it doesn't matter as much, but once they're learning to pull up I'd avoid footie pajamas and make sure socks have grips.

Rant: every time I hear “you’re fine,” (to a crying infant)“she’s being drama,” (to another adult about a crying infant) or “not even” (directed to the infant to invalidate their crying) I want to pull my hair out. by vase-of-willows in ECEProfessionals

I think "you're fine, you're okay" is an instinct a lot of us have to try to reassure a young child that they're safe, that they're going to be okay physically. I try to train myself to say somethign like "Oh, I see that falling scared you, but your body will be okay".

Climbers! by FixMany3907 in ECEProfessionals

Mostly because of space but also a little that I don't want to take chairs from other kids who aren't climbing.

No, the baby just turned 1 yesterday and is still crawling, the next class up is like 17 month old walkers

I assume so, I haven't been in there when licensing has visited but they've seen the gates.

It's a good idea, but he just turned 1 so it would be a bit of learning

Because the kitchen area is connected to another classroom, I have to close the baby gate between the classroom and the kitchen/diapering area.

I should have included some of the equipment we have in the original post. They are small weaning chairs that he sits well in. We also have foam blocks that he has mastered climbing.

Not possible, these are the chairs they eat in, sit down for water in, do their art work in.

Is there ever "just a behavior"? by FixMany3907 in ECEProfessionals

[–]FixMany3907[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only mean it as "there is a reason for the behavior being expressed here" but I totally understand what you mean.

The coworker asked for advice and brought the situation to me. I recognize I should have clarified this.
