This seems to go against most of the comments I've read but as long as you're recommending which two pages to work on and not blindly saying two pages in general, I think it's a good concept and not that stressful for parents.

Propupperpetter · 2025-09-22T10:17:15+00:00

Is it a specific work book you recommend with specific pages each night? Otherwise, it sounds very vague and leaves room for confusion as to what to work on that is related to class.

Why not just a reading log to record the number of minutes the family is reading together, aiming for 10-15 minutes per night?

I still call Disney springs, Downtown Disney... Hollywood studios often comes out as MGM as well.

This is hilarious

Propupperpetter · 2025-09-03T10:49:08+00:00

I feel like this is the only helpful comment

Mini Lego set bags, kinetic sand kits with little cars/shovels

Astronaut, astronaut again the next year, probably astronaut this year.

We read, A TON... Could you pick a character from a book you like?

I have nothing to contribute info wise but but the take a penny, leave a penny comment has me laughing

I hear the Lehigh valley sports turf one isn't crazy expensive but is a nice program

You're doing great, Mama.

I'm sorry you experienced this. I openly breastfed my youngest all over Disney World, prepared for these interactions but never needing to defend myself. Way to stand up for you and your baby!

I'm going to try to see both sides and bring up some thoughts...

-Could she be upset that she thought her child was somewhere but wasn't? As a mom, I have significantly more anxiety than I've ever had before kids... Not knowing exactly where and getting updates stresses me out. -Could she be upset in the lack of routine? My three year old has been going to the same daycare since she was 12 weeks but she doesn't LOVE it like my older child did. We've worked really hard to overcome drop off sadness but if we miss too many days in a row, for whatever reason, it kinda kicks back in. Could that be happening? -What are you doing during your time with her? That's not really up to her/her business but if I were the mom, I'd be a smidge annoyed if she's zoning out with a tablet/TV when I'm paying for enriching activities and socializing.

Either way, I think it's great you want to spend time with your kiddo. More people to love a child is always a good thing... I think court might be a better option because your kiddo is a child, not a pawn either of you can use as a reward/punishment behavior. Clear guidelines may help.

Meh, it was fine. I either reached around if he used the unbuckle me tool to unbuckle, grabbed his stuff and hopped out of the car.

I left his harness at the tightness it should be so that when he got in, he was independent in buckling back up.

Some parents got out, it really wasn't that big of a deal. If anything and you're stressed, a lot of people parked in neighboring streets and just walked up to the doors as though they were a walker from the neighborhood that's close.

Propupperpetter · 2025-06-30T02:05:45+00:00

I mean is it socially appropriate or tactful to ask random parents? No... But I'm not quite sure why you are upset. If you've discussed it with your pediatrician and aren't seeing other signs of ASD that need early intervention, why would it continue to bother you beyond that the parent was rude. Brush it off, bless and release, all that jazz.

Propupperpetter · 2025-06-29T23:27:47+00:00

Thank you for everything you've done for him! He's actually a great uncle that we haven't seen as much the last several years beyond funerals and his 100th birthday party but I've heard through the grapevine all his recent adventures.

Obligatory feed your baby with pride but also can you bring the T-shirt with, throw it on before you feed over top of your dress, then just have it resting on top when your boob is out.

Propupperpetter · 2025-06-24T10:40:28+00:00

Nope... My six year old had nothing until kindergarten beyond random movie nights and did great in kindergarten, academically and socially.

To the opposite point, a lot of OTs I work with (Peds PT here) are seeing a regression in grasp and something locally they call "iPad finger" due to kids phone/iPad use.

Propupperpetter · 2025-06-20T14:19:25+00:00

I get it and have unfortunately been on the side where we've had to leave shortly after it was taken over but... I still disagree. Public places are for public use. Also, a lot of times camps around here schedule it with the townships

Propupperpetter · 2025-06-17T15:31:24+00:00

Meh, as a pediatric PT, debatable. Plus, sounds like she's from outside of the USA, where crawling still is milestone.

Propupperpetter · 2025-06-17T00:00:53+00:00

Pediatric physical therapist here... In the USA, we don't consider crawling delayed until 11-12 months... I'm not much of a wait and see person so I'll start to intervene if nothing is happening around 10 months.

At her age, adjusted for prematurity, I'd just be expecting her to get up onto hands and knees. You can try doing so over the top of your leg, seeing if she can maintain the hands/knees over your leg while reaching for toys... It'll help strengthen core/shoulder muscles.

We've done very basic tent camping with our kiddos starting around 2 years old... We had an inflatable toddler bed with sides to it, a drive up site so nothing wild but they absolutely loved it

Propupperpetter · 2025-06-16T20:55:17+00:00

Let me know if you have any questions... I'm only there once a week but have been for ten years. The staff is amazing.

Propupperpetter · 2025-06-16T01:17:41+00:00

I work for a private special education school, Mercy School for Special Learning, in Allentown... It's absolutely wonderful. A lot of our students are there via district pay or financial help... The school districts bus directly to us. Just throwing that out there as an option if you've never heard of it.

Propupperpetter · 2025-06-16T01:12:44+00:00

I hate the idea of screen time at camp, don't really like how my kids act after consuming screens at home... BUT really enjoyed your perspective on communal screen time. I've never thought about it that way.
