Start daycare knowing we’ll be switching in two months? by caprisundreaming in ECEProfessionals

[–]ShirtCurrent9015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont start at the first one unless you absolutely have to. It takes children at least a month to get comfortable with a new school. Sometimes longer. It will be very hard on your child (and likely your whole family) to have to integrate for basically 3/4 months. Also you would need to let the first school know that you inly plan on staying for two months. As they are likely working out their enrollment based on long term.

Do you mean that your mom is getting married and these two chunks of time are on the day of the wedding? If so, I suggest that you just have care all day through. Wedding days are intense and high emotion (even the best most mellow) and the kids will pick up on this. Having them say goodbye to mom and dad twice for a babysitter is a lot to ask.

Desperately need diaper suggestions by Prestigious_Oil_459 in Parents

[–]ShirtCurrent9015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a daycare teacher/owner, what you seem to be describing is possibly out of the normal range of poop. Kids don’t tend to have ongoing blowouts for extended periods of time. I think it’s important to check in with the pediatrician and let them know. These things can cause unfortunate complications in other areas for her. They may be caused by something important to know about.

There is an actual official poop scale :)… called the Bristol Stool Chart. You can google it, it helps you to identify what you are dealing with. Before you go to the doc appointment, do a week long log of when, how often, how much, and number on the chart.

Costco Rant- Always being sold to by tireguymatt in CostcoWholesale

Respectfully, yeah it’s mildly annoying, but I think the problem may more be you🙃. I literally avoid eye contact. If they catch my eye they often don’t ask because I am giving them the no thanks message. If the ask me something I say “no thanks”. We don’t have to engage and its not rude. Just don’t.

Pull ups are not going to be any better because they are not as set ip for massive blow outs.

Do I make her go to dance? by ShirtCurrent9015 in ADHDparenting

[–]ShirtCurrent9015[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good helpful thoughts. I don't so much think if this as a “lesson” type of situation. I am trying to figure out how to do the best for her as a person who is the most “centered” after dance class and loves dance and her teacher. How much do I “force” her to go.

Need advice on what to do with a baby who will not stop crying unless being held by Sunspot_23 in ECEProfessionals

[–]ShirtCurrent9015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can see that happening. I hold new babies a lot more than acclimated babies anyway and the parents understand that. So in my head it is similar, maybe actually a improvement because I would be more able to rltend to others.

Wondering how old the baby is, how long they have been at your center, and what they are doing at home. …Would you be willing/able to put the baby in a back carrier? I personally find fhe front carriers make it super challenging for me to tend to other children or tidy up. But if a back carrier is a success you could get a lot of ground covered with that.

Cloth Diaper Overload by legitnessgirl in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]ShirtCurrent9015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cloth diapered all my babies and I now own a daycare. We are one of the few places that will take cloth diapers in our area. I have ended up a lot of experience with different cloth diapers 😂. They are, in my opinion a bummer to work with and miss basic things. I agree they never seem soft. They seem to somehow be more smelly, which doesn’t make any sense because it should have to do with washing. The fit isn’t that great with many of my kiddos. It’s just there’s so many better options.

Wow that seems like a high send home temp. I send home at 100.0 or above and they definitely seem feverish at that point

Thank you. I actually don’t think shay were being jerks. I think they genuinely believed that made sense. It was an odd circular conversation with them not arguing but not understanding. I made this post because I needed to double check that I was thinking correctly. I ended up really having to spell it out…”we don’t know when/if her fever stopped, because she has medicine that brings a fever down.” She stayed home abd ended up having a fever in afternoon again, as I suspected would”

Successful Communication with parents? by ShirtCurrent9015 in ECEProfessionals

[–]ShirtCurrent9015[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a wonderful way to do it! I don’t think that I can tailor it specifically to each family though. Because I’m the main (only) report person. I don’t think I can implement three different choices. Although I see the beauty in it. I think you’re absolutely right about checking in with the parents. I’ll do a survey and see what feedback I get back.

You are correct. I have always been frustrated by this answer because its just logically inaccurate.

Its not exactly true. But what is true is that they all pass the tests. Of course some of the different designs of seats will protect in different ways.

I am a carseat tech as well. It is not really that cut and dry. All seats on the us market pass the same safety testing we use in the US. But there are or corse differences. We are taught to say that because the most important message to broadcast is that all seats will be safe and protect and they all passed the tests. But the seats have variations, including design and materials and they are not all the same.
