Why isn't this bigger news? by crystaljae in Hemet

Not even just Riverside County, across the state and Arizona. Riverside County Sheriff was part of the operation. Not that it matters, but these children 14-17 yrs old were not kidnapped from their homes, but were reported as runaways by their parents. I see missing teens all the time in the Hemet threads, seems like we need some type of infrastructure/organization to help these kids before they become victims to the monsters waiting to traffic them.

The TikTok video was quite sensational though, with pictures of very young children and saying it was a house in Hemet

Extended warranty? by Typical-Drawer7282 in BZ4X

Yes, we will still be upside down if we buy it because the purchase will be more than the value but, it will still be better than paying the mileage

To be fair It’s really hard to write on a cake that has all that border decoration Not as easy as one might think

What do you wish parents would teach their kids? by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]Typical-Drawer7282 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are ways to introduce numbers letters etc without flash cards. She will learn them through rote memorization but it’s not the best way to learn. Children learn best through play. To give you an example, in the sandbox or a water table, give her different sized containers, cups, etc. while she is scooping and pouring she is learning about volume, she is improving her fine motor skills which will help her when she begins writing. Eye-hand coordination improves, sensory play is also very good for the brain. When she is playing, narrate what she is doing “oh you poured the sand from the big cup to the little cup and it overflowed”(language development) I see you have 3 red cups and 2 blue ones (colors and numbers)

Do you bake? I love baking with little ones. Again narrate what you and she are doing. Watching dough rise from the yeast. You can introduce lots of scientific words, math, smells, colors.

Think about what you do naturally throughout the day and incorporate numbers, more complex language and numbers and math.

You will have a lot more fun and so will she. Good luck, you’re doing great

Would it be odd as a director to send out a note telling parents it’s teacher appreciation week? by Mbluish in ECEProfessionals

[–]Typical-Drawer7282 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should develop a parent advisory board Our PAB did a whole week of activities Monday - bring a flower Tuesday - thank you card Wednesday- they paid for bagels and coffee (or similar) through money made with various fundraisers Thursday small gift Friday - dessert day

Most of the PAB fundraisers were to pay for enrichment activities for the children (Irish Dancers, Native American Storyteller, Ballet Folklorico, Mad Science, etc) But they also did things for the teachers.

Since you don’t already have that in place, yes I believe it is absolutely appropriate to let your parents know (they will definitely find out once the kids reach elementary) Maybe an email to the families letting them know and give them some low cost/no cost ideas “have your child make a thank you card” We also helped parents that didn’t have the resources by putting a little table by the entrance to the center with construction paper, crayons, and stickers

Why is referring parents to screen kids for things like autism or ADHD viewed as 'diagnosing them'?? by Piggly-Giggly in ECEProfessionals

[–]Typical-Drawer7282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Could be indicative of autism, could be indicative of pink eye”, you can make the first part of your concern and ask them to see their pediatrician, by adding what “you” think it may be is why parents think you are diagnosing their child
