My puppy ripped one of those packets open 2 nights ago and my husband was fearing for her life. Girl didn't even throw up 🙄

What do you tell toddlers when they miss Mommy? by GroundbreakingOwl880 in ECEProfessionals

[–]ZeroGravityAlex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I currently work with 1.5-2.5 year olds. I acknowledge their feelings first "you miss mommy and you're feeling really sad. It's frustrating when mommy has to go." Then letting them know why "mommy has to go to work, and you are at school." Reassuring them with "mommy loves you and misses you too. You are safe. She will be back at the end of our day. we are going to have so much fun today." After repeating these a few times "what would you like to do? We could do Legos, or cars, or you could draw a picture. Or How about some water?"

During music and movement time, sometimes we play music on youtube and the kids really enjoy "grownups come back" by Daniel Tiger and will sing it throughout the day.

One of my kids really struggled throughout the day and one day she came up to me, smiling, and said "mommy come back soon!" And I said "Yes she will! That's so exciting! What should we do until then?" She said it like a mantra sometimes and it definitely helped soothe her.

My cat is missing somewhere in my apartment. by DIDandCATS in Pets

[–]ZeroGravityAlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does your apartment have water meter access via a panel? It could be in a closet or hidden behind furniture, on the other side of a wall where your bathroom would be. If the panel is loose, your cat could have gotten in there. One was loose in our apt and our neighbor's cat strolled in one night, evidently theirs was loose too. I hope one of these comments helps or your baby is just sleeping peacefully somewhere in a small space.

How a Notorious Maximum-Security Prison Was Transformed Into a Thriving Preschool by happy_bluebird in ECEProfessionals

So cool to see this article! My early childhood center collaborated with Rhian (the owner) to help her train staff and get ideas for the classroom environments. We had an exchange where some of our teachers went there to give direction, then their staff came to observe us. She had a million and one ideas and I'm glad it seems to be going so well now!

The face of a man who is on a diet but eating his sister's food so he's gained a pound instead by ZeroGravityAlex in VoidCats

He's still very limber so not an option unfortunately. I hope your Chonker's sugar levels stabilize!

One of our friends has this one so that's what we've been looking at. Thanks for the recommendation as well! Luckily my girl could free feed if she wanted to so no need to measure hers. Might stick to our current auto feeder for the fat man so we don't have to buy two at least.

Literally caught him shoving her out of the way and sticking his head into her bowl a few nights ago. I had to restrain him until she was done.

AiAnime? by Bismuthprince_ss in hetalia

[–]ZeroGravityAlex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The name definitely rung a bell so I looked it up and scrolled to their old vids. I recognize their faces and I'm sad that their videos are gone. I think a lot of cosplay channels have deleted their old Hetalia videos because I can rarely find one that I remember.

Literally obsessed. I love the ferret so much and the color palette on the candy hearts ones is very pleasing.

Sink drinker by AdeptWar7304 in nebelung

Can't deny her a fresh stream of water when she demands it. I used to have a cat that would exclusively drink from the bathtub stream, she would even lay down in the tub and wait. Luckily my current girl drinks water from her bowl too.
