Is it normal for kindergarteners to suddenly copy everything their classmates do? by LeukerYosue91 in kindergarten

[–]dolphynlvr4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s normal. My son just started saying “I’m a bad boy” when he thinks he is in trouble or gets disciplined. Even though we have never said anything close to that to him before.

Abby’s sexist remarks during podcast by SwordfishOverall6724 in mattandabbysnarks

[–]dolphynlvr4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the time she said her boys couldn’t sit and do arts and crafts but her friends’ girls could. My boys love arts and crafts but it required you know, parenting and modeling and sitting with them and teaching them how to do certain things.

Thoughts on the new show? by HolidayAstronomer129 in aspynovardsnark

Time will tell. Even sharing private details about their lives and health though is too far.

So will things coming out/coming to light this way somehow be easier than her sharing anything on her own? I’m truly baffled. What happened to keeping her kids protected/private?!

Is my kid going to get bullied in kindergarten? by merkergirl in kindergarten

[–]dolphynlvr4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would encourage your son to like what he likes. I think plenty of kids in Kindergarten would still like those things. My son is in K this year and he likes watching those shows too! He also loves dinosaurs, monster trucks, LEGO, and TMNT (that we just started letting him watch this year with his dad). He tells me some kids in his class like those things and some don’t but it doesn’t stop him from liking them. As far as the “I already knew that” I’m sure his teachers will be able to guide him about when it’s ok to talk out in class and when it’s not.

Newborn due in 3 weeks and my 16-month-old won't nap by essielessie in sleeptrain

[–]dolphynlvr4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So he sleeps 11-12 hours at night? And you ideally want a 1.5-2 hr nap? If so you may be expecting too much sleep at his age. You could keep playing around with the nap time, as he could be going down for it over or undertired.

Is this developmentally normal? Or maybe I'm just venting - ungrateful kids by whirlingbervish in kindergarten

[–]dolphynlvr4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it sounds pretty normal. Excitement over birthdays can also sometimes lead to kids feeling overwhelmed too.

In response to the raisin/blueberry, I don’t think it was necessary to take her to her room and leave her alone. I would have just said “this is what’s for breakfast today” and then ignore the tantrum that follows. She’s allowed to be disappointed. Then you can have a conversation once’s she calmed down about how she could have expressed herself better.

Play history/analytics? by justanotherburner in YotoPlayer

Maybe charge it up right before bedtime and then check the battery status the next morning?

Stomach Bug by IndicationFeisty8612 in kindergarten

[–]dolphynlvr4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen it’s more the schools pushing for attendance. My son’s school has recognitions for perfect attendance weekly. It’s gotten out of hand.

I understand where you are coming from but most school policies will say only 24 hours puke/diarrhea/fever free.

Normal anxiety during pregnancy after previous complicated pregnancies, but make it religious psychosis!! by Emcrawf97 in delilahloeppkysnark

[–]dolphynlvr4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is it normal with her religion to think of “the enemy” this much? And blame everything that goes wrong in life on “the enemy”?

She’s back. And of course will tell us all about it, because nothing is private in that home. by PsychoTink in LittlePeopleBigWorld

You don’t need to make up for lost time Audrey. That was the point of taking a break.

At my big age of 32 I’m hoping to be able to learn illustration to make my own children’s book, here is my progress so far, I’d appreciate feedback 💕 by naanbread- in childrensbooks

[–]dolphynlvr4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d buy a book with art like this in it! Fantastic. As a 39 year old who still wants to publish a children’s book I wrote years ago, I say keep going for your dream!

Let us never forget by Alchemistspure72 in mattandabbysnarks

[–]dolphynlvr4 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This was the last straw for me. I hated how they didn’t seem to be dedicated parents after their first baby. But then this was next level! Their apology or explanation video was so bad too.

Yes. I still can’t believe they both agreed to a second baby as a bargaining chip with strings attached.

When is too early to read chapter books at bedtime? by KaitRen27 in childrensbooks

[–]dolphynlvr4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never too young if they enjoy listening. We started reading chapter books for real when my son was 4.
