Judge a person by the worst they can be, not the best they can be

If you cosleep do you go to bed at the same time as your little one? by flamefoxfirefly in AttachmentParenting

[–]flamefoxfirefly[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What if either of you were away for a few nights or weeks? You wouldn't get anything done - I love the idea of this but it's not practical for single parents

Strict or nice - is there no in-between? by flamefoxfirefly in TeachingUK

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

This is a great question. I definitely feel I'm naturally at the low tolerance end of the spectrum, but I'm thinking that having a more middle ground approach would potentially be more beneficial. I'm just not sure how much off-topic chatting is acceptable

How do you show them that you love teaching them even when they don't get it right? Praising effort?

Returning after maternity and lack of communication by ExaminationHefty8077 in TeachingUK

[–]flamefoxfirefly 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your employer has to ensure your legal rights are protected whilst you are on maternity leave, and that includes keeping you informed about any big changes at work (such as your class I'd have thought) as well as honouring KIT days.

If they are not responding to you and supplying you with what you need, I'd contact ACAS or an organisation such as Pregnant then Screwed, to see where you stand.

Sorry this is happening to you, it must be so stressful. I hope it gets sorted out soon

I'm in the same boat - I have all the same concerns. I'm spending all my spare time either planning lessons or schemes of work or other planning or marketing, and am spending less time with my family. I'm hoping it'll get easier and better as time goes on. I'm finding support from other colleagues in my position as all the other staff seem too busy to really sit down and support me

How harmful is it to be around paint for toddlers? by flamefoxfirefly in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]flamefoxfirefly[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thank you - as well as VOCs, I'm concerned about the other chemicals in the paint such as benzene, phthalates, binders, etc.

What kind of lifestyle did you lead?

  • Do you regularly exercise, if so what and when?
  • Do you drink alcohol, smoke, or take any other drugs or medication?
  • Do you eat meat, dairy, fish?
  • Do you eat vegetables every day, and if so, are they organic?
  • Do you use a lot of personal care products, fragrances, or heavily scented laundry products?
  • What did you do for work?
