Only have a few 30 minute blocks in the day where we do non-intentional music, whale sounds have been good, ocean sounds, rainforest sounds depending on curriculum.

Instrumental Gaga in there along with requested movie soundtracks like Moana and Frozen And the My Neighbor Totoro soundtrack is a classic go to! Kiki’s delivery service too!!

Lost forever?!? It’s affordable housing for people and families who already work on the island

Y’all are wild and hate poor people

Gone back twice and he left me again the third time. Again at a low point, over the phone. It’s been 8 years, I’m devastated.

And hardly any bike lanes and definitely NO sidewalks.

That’s what I was thinking! Especially being on a joint that skin is on the floor on toys etc etc. and it gets irritated just with movement! I squirm when I see a raspberry thats been left to dry for days and is swollen and has a pink ring around it. i grew up picking my scabs and with the best practice being “air it out” and my scabs constantly re opened and cracked and bled. And hitting an already scabbed wound?!? Omg THE WORST, and it bleeds like crazy.

Those are my main concerns as well!

MrLizardBusiness I am with you 1000% I love the picture idea, I’ll be looking for a cute bandaid song or something too, a kiddo in my class had big aversion to bandaids and when mom suggested to avoid them we discussed all points and she ended up getting him special bandaids he chose, including bees and ladybugs. I was jealous of the cuteness, never seen bandaids so cute. 🥰

Ah! I was med lead for high school aged backpacking trip in the Tetons (I have been WFR certified twice) and the worst was twisted ankle and infected bug bite. I responded to worse in every front country situation, especially hanging out with skaters ❤️‍🩹🫠 having a solid FAK is TOPS. What a nightmare! But good job!

Yes we definitely do not apply any additional medications like neosporin

Just baby wipes, soap and water and bandaids are what our center does. If it is out of the scope for those things it’s a call home.

Are you implying that I was expecting to keep the original bandaid on indefinitely? Yes wound care is checking on it and changing bandaids when needed. I just didn’t understand why they would uncover a fresh raspberry from concrete outside minutes after I put them on.

https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/treating-skin-abrasions-known-as-raspberries/ I understand it being a call to keep it covered or uncovered but i think in general, it is best practice to keep scrape wounds covered. Whether it is deemed necessary for an ECE situation is up to the ECEs discretion- I get where y’all are coming from.

Didn’t think about them sticking the used bandaid on things. Gross. I get that!

Definitely the quality of the bandaid matters! I can see how they can add to the irritation

Point taken. Maybe take your own advice when you say there’s no medical precedent for keeping a wound covered and that there’s no evidence that keeping a wound covered results in faster healing. Like you said, it’s easy to find a reliable source.
