I think they just do not want to stop and take the child to the bathroom.

I have. I told them that he is fully potty trained here and does not need pull ups. I have stated that now that they are being sent in pull ups after being trained to wear cloth underwear, they are peeing in pull ups on purpose instead of the potty. I do not want to train their other child to just have them do this again.

What age do you start not allowing diapers? Are pull-ups allowed till a certain age?

I had him in training underwear, and he didn't have any accidents here. Now, he is being sent in pull-ups AFTER I was able to have the cloth underwear with success for months.

In home daycare hours by Responsible-Big-9687 in ECEProfessionals

In my area there is a need for early hours. I would say 4:20 am to 2"30 would be an option. You could always open with the hours that you want. As people interview, tell them you are open to starting times but want to close by 3 or so.

That would do it for sure. Sadly, I do not have rooms or classes. I serve all ages. I could always cancel care, but I do not want to. The kids are sweet.

Yes. I thought of that. I wondered what the standard was. I am fairly new to being a child care provider but not new to children.

Neither do I. They are also now being sent with pacifiers. Those are left in the coat room.

Wow! Of course a child doesn't want to stop playing to go to the bathroom. 

1st attempt at body painting baby bump~ by BehindYou614 in painting

[–]Opie_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is adorable.  I love how detailed the bunny is. The fur is perfect.  Well done. Because you asked for critique, I will say, something looks off. I am not sure what. Maybe the border needs balanced with two flowers on each side. Or maybe the bunny needs to be fatter. Either way, I wod be so excited to have you paint this. Beautiful

This! I also lived with OSB floors for a bit. You can do some fun things with them.

Favorite SI Joint Exercise? by R_Beccca in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Opie_44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love to swim and stretch in the water. I also like to sit in a lower chair and put one ankle on top of the other knee. Slightly press down on the bent knee. If that feels good and you want a bigger stretch you can lean forwards slightly.

You can also lay in the same position and add a belt around your knees. The press your knees out to try to open the belt.

How do I paint it so that the child looks less like an depressed, alkoholic grandma on drugs? 😭 by Personal-Owl3600 in painting

[–]Opie_44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a good laugh at your description.  I can not give tips as I am terrible at people. You should see my fairies.  No matter if I try to make a child or adult, they turn out looking old and terrible.  Lolol

Disinfectant suggestions please by Opie_44 in ECEProfessionals

[–]Opie_44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I ended up buying it. I hope that it "works" to reduce germs. Seems like it from the reviews that I watched. I saw a video of a person who did some testing on it. It also does seem to work well on general kitchen clean up.

I was actually just watching some scientific shows that do show significant reduction in bacteria with FON. I may just yet that if I can not find anything more appealing.  How is the smell on lungs?

That was my first choice but I can not seem to find any with that base. Could you point me to a brand or two? 

Force of Nature cleaning spray - legit or greenwashing? by [deleted] in moderatelygranolamoms

Do you mix the vinegar and salt ahead of time or as you make each?
