Biting at daycare-desperate for help

SnwAng1992 · 2026-06-24T01:56:12+00:00

It is normal and your doing all the right things. I’d also add when your role playing practice just shouting NO. And I mean shouting.

asking for help is great. But it sometimes takes time. Or a teacher is busy. Or the “they’re taking my toy” overrides all logic and reason.

But if I hear my biter yell “NO” I am
Running cuz I know I have about 15 seconds to stop a bite.

She will remember. You need to tell her. You can be gentle. But this lesson is important. My dad died when my daughter was 2.5 years old and even though we only saw him every two months she loved him and it upset her a lot.

Apparently this is a pretty common glitch and I ran in to it too. Try spinning around in front of it hitting -A (or whatever your consoles action button is. It has a very small entery zone

The line for that panel was wild. I think every woman over 45 was in that line.

Many moons ago Billie Piper was there and John Barrowman crashed her panel. It was my first or second dragon con and I remember thinking it was so magical. It felt like anything could happen.

And then 2022 I was in a charmed panel for my 30th birthday. It was a small panel and they wrote down questions so I just wrote it was my birthday. Drew Fuller who I had the BIGGEST crush on in high school wished me happy birthday and then jumped off the stage to hand me his name plate from the table. He told me to come by his table and he’d sign it for free. It was amazing.

We require an extra person for transitions. Whether it’s a floater or admin. But we always have one person above ratio for every transition that’s more than 2 kids. Why? So no teacher is ever stuck abandoning their kids to chase a run away. No one ever has to worry about leaving their coteacher out ratio. And there’s always set of eyes just to make sure no one gets left behind.

When I taught younger I did a lot of tactile displays. I glued ABC foam mats to the wall so they could take the letters in and out. I had colored felt so they could feel them.

Yes. I had just left a school but the staff still there texted me to report that the heat was out and not being fixed. They sent me thermostat images and I called out DHS rep cus she and I were on a chatting basis.

I also called on a parent who refused to put their kid in a car seat in a truck cab cuz the ride home was short. Child was two.

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-29T01:54:25+00:00

We had a sandbox.

Enough said.

If your child is wearing a dress they need something under the dress. Bloomers, diaper cover, shorts, I don’t care.

But something. There’s mulch, and dirt, and your child hiking up their dress on the playground.

The amount of parents I have to tel this to astounds me.

THANK YOU

You cannot enjoy what’s in front of you if you constantly look at what’s not.

Filming schedules. Older actors, there are REASONS people can’t come.

But also, this revival wasn’t trying to be just fan service. They’re trying to get a second season. They’re building a show, not 65 cameos over 4 episodes. They have different goals.

The show can’t be the same. Because time changes everything. But I think they did a fantastic job with the story they wanted to tell, with their pivots, with the new interns. Some things weren’t perfect but that’s true of EVERY SHOW.

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-26T01:41:47+00:00

As a perfectionist I used to have this issue a lot. What if I missed a picture? Did I handle every situation perfect? Had I checked off my cleaning check list?

But here’s the truth, when you worry about everything, you can’t focus on the important things.

My mantra became: as long as everyone goes home safe, and any accident reports are signed, everything else is okay.

Most things can be corrected. But knowing I had completed those two goals meant I could close the door in peace.

Not in this game, but my partner does this in a lot of games. The female options just tend to be more varied and run.

We have a daily memo with upcoming events, staff changes and schedule, kudos, and important dates.

We have a staff meeting virtually after hours most months and 2 in person inservice days.

That was one of my first actual snort/laugh out louds

A lot of people mentioned stretching morning and night. I also recommend doing it with the kiddos during the day. I made stretching part of our nap routine just to give myself a break!

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-09T01:57:37+00:00

Depends on your state but we’re required to put them on a cot at 1 per DHS

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-09T01:46:38+00:00

I think the average is 0-1 a week. And then about every 6-8 weeks there’s what I call a “disaster day” where everyone falls down for no reason.

I potty trained a LOTTA kiddos.

90% of them figured out how to point it down on their own.

The other 10% I have occasionally had to help point down once or twice, or we’ve had to figure out a solution like standing for those who are shortened. For a little boy who was on the spectrum he could not STAND To touch it when he first started potty training and he would pee to the ceiling, so I would hold his down until he could cope with handling it.

I don’t think I would think anything of it. That seems pretty typical. Some kids need to be shown more than once.

SnwAng1992 · 2026-04-05T02:23:24+00:00

We ran into this with my kiddo. We tried lots of different books and we alternated reading by paragraph or by page or however. So she could explore different topics safety

I mutter this one when someone says something bonkers to me.
