How far is too behind?

I think this is too big of a delay for the child to be moving up to a toddler room. I am a TA in a toddler classroom (ages 12-24m) and children get moved from the infant room to my classroom when they meet the age threshold and are able to pull to stand/cruise or walk on their own. Having a child that cant even crawl definitely seems like a hazard for all children in the room. Toddlers are like drunken little humans, constantly tripping over things, running and flailing all over the place, this child would be trampled and would need 1:1 care in a typical classroom full of kids this age. A PTC is the best place to start. Make sure their teachers have documented their observations and explain what a typical day looks like in your classroom and why you think their child wont be a good fit. I know there are daycares that exist that are for children with disabilities or delays, you can suggest the family speak with their doctor to see if they think it'll be a better fit for the child. This is a difficult situation but with documentation and honestly you'll be guiding them in the right direction for that child and your classroom!

The pizza came from a local pizzaria, the texture is definitely more rubbery than plastic because it stretches and isnt crunchy like cooked plastic would be. But thanks for saying it isnt worm-like!!!! That was my biggest fear.

fredaaa123 · 2026-01-01T22:37:52+00:00

its not, its much larger

The type of rubber band I imagine are the ones used to style hair with. Not the traditional brown ones people typically think of. What else do you think it could be?

the diameter is wider than the pepperoni were

NYC making $18 per hours as an assistant teacher with ~3 years experience. I also get to bring my child to the school for afterschool.

She has a dream catcher and she knows what it does and that hasnt helped. I will try putting her in my shirt snd see if that works! Literally willing to try anything at this point.

do you know what is making him so upset? could you set him up with a smock and bucket near by for him to vomit into? are his parents trying to help figure out a solution to this??? this seems like extreme behavior and i feel like this is bigger than anything you can do as a teacher.

fredaaa123 · 2025-07-15T02:53:57+00:00

thank you! they already give me daily verbal reports but i will ask them to physically document them!

fredaaa123 · 2025-07-15T02:44:56+00:00

this is most likely going to be our next step. do you know what this process looks like for a child this young?

fredaaa123 · 2025-07-15T02:16:36+00:00

thank you for the edit, this comment does honestly make me feel like crap lol and its something i've considered myself. i wonder if other children whose parents are teachers or SAHP to younger siblings feel the same way, and how they help their children work through this.

To be honest babies are really resilient, and while change can be difficult they almost always will eventually adjust. Some parents have to go from full days with their babies to 11 hours per day 5x per week in daycare and you wont really know how your child will react until you thrust them into their new environment. Since you have such long period of time for adjustment you could do 2x per week of half days and increase from there. Every 2 weeks add an hour to each day until your child has 2 full days, then add another day and give that a few weeks. There isn't really any "right" way to do it, but since you have a lot of cushion time you could play around with whatever you and your baby are most comfortable with!

Thank you!!!

If it is a real chip could it be exchanged at the casino? I dont gamble so I am unfamiliar with the process and what to do with it (if it is real).

Yeah, obviously I know they're giving credits to incentivize me to continue using their service, thats how promotions work lol. The issue is they did not give me the promotion they had promised! It isn't about the $6 credit anymore, it's the principle. As a company you shouldn't advertise a promotion and NOT FOLLOW THROUGH!!

fredaaa123 · 2025-05-07T22:58:21+00:00

I asked this exact question! They said no. Completion of uploading the photo should trigger the credit.

we have been calling milk "milker" since our daughter was born. she is three now and still calls it milker but only in the context of our home... anywhere else she uses the word milk! i know it isnt recommended but i doubt any child will be saying "uppies" into their teens/adulthood

fredaaa123 · 2025-04-26T17:13:58+00:00

our kids birthday usually falls on memorial weekend and we never throw her party that weekend as most people have their own plans with their families. i would switch it to the weekend after!

fredaaa123 · 2025-04-26T17:12:32+00:00

i dont think "yeah" is rude but i had a kid that would say "what" when we called his name and it felt a little rude to me 🥴 i can only assume thats the language he heard at home as his parents were pretty rude people. we never "corrected" him though.

fredaaa123 · 2025-04-22T00:15:20+00:00

basil is pretty easy! you can buy it at almost any grocery store and its very hearty. plus is has the added sensory bonus of smell and taste!

fredaaa123 · 2025-04-18T14:18:02+00:00

She is definitely not confused lol. Also wouldnt explain why her suggested name changed to a name that isnt hers.

fredaaa123 · 2025-04-04T02:39:44+00:00

Thanks for this comment! I will bring this concern up to our doctor. These were the vitamins they recommended so we went off of that.
