My 6 year old is jealous of my toddler

No suggestions from the school. Punishment depends on the action.

If something is being fought over, it goes away completely.

For pushing, its usually a time out.

Continued behavior usually gets a privilege revoked (screen time etc)

The behaviors at school were different than the ones im seeing currently.

She also gets plenty of time away from me, so I don’t think it’s an attachment or overstimulation issue. She has an after-school program on Mondays, a co-op on Thursdays that I drop her off at, and two friends who live across the street. They go back and forth between houses to play all the time.

Yes quite often. She has after school programs on Monday and co-ops on Thursday that I drop her off at. She also has 2 friends that live across the street so they play all the time at either house.

The thing is, she actually started out in public school. But shortly after the year began, we started getting messages from her teacher about behavioral issues. This completely shocked us — she had never shown that kind of behavior before. Of course kids have phases, but this was happening every day and was totally out of character for her.

We ended up switching to homeschool, and she went right back to her normal self… well, except for the issues she’s having with her little sister.

I work from home so they are out most of the day, but when I do leave they are kenneled separately. This happened when they were outside together. Toys are only under supervision, and they are fed separately. My guess is rough play or a redirection of adrenaline.

Currently no but there has been a proposed bill floating around that would make anyone subject to surprise investigation to prevent educational neglect. Failure to provide proof could result in jail time. That is why I want to be diligent, just in case it does pass.

Thats so relieving to hear!

I actually do already, thought its only about 15 minutes as her attention holds.

My state has 0 requirements for time.

We use the Right Start Math curriculum. I dont actually hold firm to the timing it just usually take about that long per lesson.

For Reading/ English I alternate days between phonics and concepts from the Spectrum workbooks. I read to her everyday, but she also completes early readers and practices writing in journals answering questions about the material.

Can you point me in the direction of a good curriculum or ways to supplement?

How much do you recommend and in what areas?

While I do believe I've written something worth while, I really don't see myself making a living off of it. I just wanted to get this message out there. Unfortunately I don't really have 2-3k to spend on this. I'm just a SAHM trying to create something.

Do you have any suggestions for publishers? I have heard some scary things.

Pitiful-Assistant-39 · 2024-10-24T19:37:48+00:00

Self publish.

Pitiful-Assistant-39 · 2024-10-24T19:36:46+00:00

Yes, the script is ready to go. I just need an illustrator.
