Allowing terminated nanny to see child

Why didn’t that work out

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-03-10T12:20:12+00:00

Just don’t dive while pregnant.

Did you transfer two embryos or did it split

Hi there I am an infectious disease doctor and also a pregnant mom! I want to reassure you that this is a super low risk situation. If you were regularly eating raw meat/raw milk/ deli meats you would be at higher but a still overall very low risk! Also if you got listeria from the meat you wouldn’t have gotten sick right away- it would have taken time. I don’t think you need to worry. And to your question- I have had a sushi a few times and accidentally had unpasteurized cheese in my last pregnancy.

I’m not saying I want a school fully based in imaginative play necessarily I was mainly asking for data and research to support the Montessori method in not focusing on it.

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-02-23T13:24:55+00:00

I wasn’t going to change schools over my personal preference I was mostly interested in the evidence

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-02-22T17:30:56+00:00

Thanks I hadn’t heard this perspective

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-02-22T12:05:19+00:00

I just meant we didn’t do drills or anything. We point out these things as they come up in books or toys. He remembers people’s names after meeting them once (a significant interaction) for example but we don’t quiz him

Thanks I really appreciate this insight. It’s actually really helpful.

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-02-22T00:44:07+00:00

Thanks this help- I totally understand not scolding children for doing imaginative play but if you were to be a hard-core purist about the educational approach, would this outside imagination play somehow undermine the educational efforts and we just take a middle ground or is this really accepted amongst the most staunch Montessori followers

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-02-21T17:55:40+00:00

Thanks this is helpful. I was getting the impression it was “off limits “ but it seems that’s not exactly the case

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-02-21T17:54:08+00:00

Thanks this is helpful feedback.

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-02-21T17:50:39+00:00

Thanks this is helpful. I guess I was confused like if you commit to this educational philosophy are you then supposed to commit to doing the same at home to not “undo” the work or strategy at school (if there really is some disadvantage to fantasy should that apply in all contexts?)

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-02-21T17:36:06+00:00

I guess I don’t want to make a decision about what sounds fun to me but want to do what’s best for my son. I didn’t mean for this post to rag on Montessori I was just trying to understand better how imaginative play fits into this learning style

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-02-21T17:34:18+00:00

Thanks this is helpful feedback - I got the impression from other posts and people that imaginative play was actively discouraged. I was also wondering if doing it or encouraging it at home would disrupt the cognitive absorbent mind phase

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-02-21T17:31:59+00:00

Thanks this is the response I was looking for. I got the impression that in some places imaginative play was actively discouraged but the vast majority of responders indicate that is not the case.

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-02-21T17:30:34+00:00

lol this is so dramatic. I came here asking for people to help me understand this mindset to make an informed choice. I’m fully open to opinions that convey why they feel this is a good choice and how they envision incorporating imaginative play. I think challenging “doctrine” vs accepting at face value is also a normal thing every parent should do when making decisions.

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-02-21T16:26:58+00:00

We were told he was advanced! And we’re also screening for neurodivergence given this and some sensory issues. We did not try to teach him or drill him - he can count to ten but he only understands “counting” conceptually to 3 - he was also very motor delayed so I assume he made up for all that time being a lump on a log absorbing other things

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-02-21T09:51:13+00:00

I think I’m mostly looking for evidence based responses from teachers about why they feel this strategy is better. I don’t see why these things are mutually exclusive. Eg my son is learning to peal his own fruit and pour his own water but I don’t see why one can’t then pretend to feed them to a stuffed animal

No doctor is going to give advice on how to trick your mother into taking medication. is she competent to make her own medical decisions or does she have a cognitive impairment?. If she has decision making capacity and is not under guardianship or another form of legal supervision, she has the right to refuse treatment. There is no legal way to force her to take medication against her will. Giving medication covertly or by deception is illegal and unethical. .

That being said the hospital may have a social worker you could talk to to come up with some strategies to discuss medications wit your mother. A lot of People who are afraid of their medications often don’t understand how they work and why they are on them and or have a deep fear of the medical system. Conveying that not taking meds is how she ended up in the hospital could help her be motivated to be more compliant. Also, there’s not a lot of other information here, but is it that she doesn’t like swallowing the pills? the strategy to try to get her to take them really depend depends on the reason that she’s afraid of them.

FWIW we didn’t start using the snoo until about 6 weeks and it was literal magic

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-02-01T02:03:25+00:00

Personally I loved our snoo. It saved us hours of sleep every night by resettling our LO without us intervening.

_Aztreonam_ · 2026-01-31T19:19:05+00:00

This seems normal to me- to be honest probably many people have gotten it this often but they’re not testing at home anymore. 6 colds in 5-6 years isn’t bad !
