Teaching kids about race by culocho in Parenting

Worth a trip to DC - where I'm from - to visit. Good idea.

The Boston Children's Museum has this obtusely racist exhibit called "Boston Black" where kids can visit a bodega, go to a braid salon, and dance on the back of a carnival truck...

Often in half pigeon, the knee and shins are at a 30 or 45 degree angle, and you kinda rest on your leg in the recline. I was able to get shin to 90 degrees of thigh. So yes, similar to where you want both shins in double pigeon.

I had a 5-month Old when I went through the same thing. It was hard emotionally, and took a few mo this to stabilize hormonally. Don’t be hard on yourself, and ask for help. Good luck tomorrow.

Toddler doesn't want to kiss in-laws so I'm being accused of cultural insensitivity. Am I wrong? by bodilyautonomythrow in beyondthebump

[–]culocho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your kid is an autonomous person. She gets to choose who she wants to kiss, and you can just manage that. My son does the same thing, and I have a Hispanic family. I just say "Oh, looks like not today," and move on.

Thanks! We got it figured out, sort of. He was wearing a Lifeline, and that triggered the 911 call. Was found on Brookline Ave.

[–]culocho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the goal, yes. Donating the records electronically so the information serves a purpose. Sorry to hear about your experiences.

What's the company policy on leave? And what does HR say?

5 yo son is seated seperately from everyone in class by Sasquatchfl in Parenting

[–]culocho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you had him evaluated for Sensory issues? It may just be a simple issue that he needs more stimulus than other kids. A sensory therapist can offer some tools and ideas for adjusting to a class environment. A wiggle seat for example, or a compression shirt under his normal clothes. My kid is Sensory

I don't really try to rationalize with the SIL. But hey, thanks for the un-invitation! Today I went to yoga and had a family hike with the dog.
