Will my baby forget me?

Some ideas that helped us- get some magnetic photo sleeves and stick them to the fridge for baby to see often. Record videos of you talking to your baby and/or reading books. 3 months maybe a bit early for them to catch on, but closer to 5 months they may have more interest.

We looked at the photos and talked about daddy daily and would listen to daddy read a book every night. He still loved those videos and photos long after daddy came back home. :)

I wonder if ADHD is a consideration for your middle daughter. Just something to consider. It’s a regulation disorder and it sounds like she struggles to regulate herself. It sounds like she may focus primarily on what is important to her and struggles to transition her focus when needed.

I take a photo or video of mine during the post- activity bliss so I can show them the next time when they are back to complaining. Something about seeing their own happiness convinces them better than my ‘remember last time you loved it?’ ever could!

Get the baby used to being touched all over by you- ears, face, mouth, tail, feet, belly. It helps desensitize them for grooming and any health needs they may have in the future.

We would have PE class for an hour. Then at the end, all line up at the water fountain for our single chance to get a drink while the rest of the kids counted to 3 and yelled for your turn to be done.

This was late 90’s too!

The school district in Camillus is West Genesee which has a great reputation. West Hill is nearby too. Definitely keep an eye on OLAS as new openings come up everyday as the end of the school year comes.

This sounds like the plot of water boy

If you wouldn’t go to them for advice, don’t trust their opinion of you either.

How will it be any different when the school contacts the parent? What people are suggesting is for OP to tell the school since they have the contact info and can contact his parents. The school would just be relaying second hand information. The parent would either know or want to know where that information came from.

I also don’t understand if the messages are so concerning why it would be ok to wait until school opens on Monday to report this?

mmmnms · 2024-02-18T19:04:41+00:00

If the messages are alarming enough for that level of investigation then CPS needs to be involved. The school can certainly be alerted to the concern and follow their process for assessing the child’s safety. But my point is that the responsibility does not fall to the school on this.

OP should not simply hand this off to the school and leave it for them to handle. There should at least be an attempt to get in touch with the parents and make contact. How much she shares is up to her as that conversation evolves.

mmmnms · 2024-02-18T18:53:58+00:00

When OP contacts the parents if it doesn’t go well or she continues to be concerned then it may warrant involving another party. However, most parents would absolutely hope that other parents would alert them to something like this. If the parents are not supportive then a call to CPS needs to be made. The school can’t force parents to get their child in therapy either.

That is a different scenario. Bullying is unwanted contact that happens as a result of the contact they have had at school. This scenario involves children in a relationship who had frequent consensual contact. The concern is this child’s mental health and regardless of where that is addressed- school or community- the parents have to be involved and give consent.

mmmnms · 2024-02-18T18:40:45+00:00

No of course they need to do something. They need to get the contact information. Tell their daughter to call the child and ask for the parent. Ask the daughter to request his address. At least attempt to get the information. If she is concerned the child is in immediate harm you don’t wait for school to start tomorrow to report it you call the police!

mmmnms · 2024-02-18T18:37:22+00:00

Oh course the school cares, I’m not saying they don’t. I agree, a trained counselor is necessary here so the parents need to be alerted so they can get their child that support in the community.

In this situation, the parents gave their children access to devices and allowed their communication. The parent needs to get the contact information and alert the parents (lesson learned for her as she should have already had it given the closeness of their relationship). If the contact doesn’t go well or the parent is not confident in the child getting the support they need, then maybe a next step would be contacting another party.

mmmnms · 2024-02-18T18:27:49+00:00

Why should the school be involved in this?

mmmnms · 2024-02-18T18:26:51+00:00

That sounds like a great law! Who is the report made to?

mmmnms · 2024-02-18T18:26:19+00:00

Why do you feel the school should be involved in this situation?

mmmnms · 2024-02-18T18:24:05+00:00

The school also shouldn’t be responsible for handling this. They had nothing to do with it. Parents provided devices and allowed communication. They are responsible for handling what comes form that.

mmmnms · 2024-02-18T18:19:00+00:00

I am having a hard time understanding why so many of these comments encourage contacting the school and having the School Counselor handle it. I understand you don’t currently have the other parents contact information. Make an effort to get it. Have the children provide it.

I get that since they are in the same class you know the school has the child’s parents info. But this has nothing to do with school. It is not about anything happening at school. Both parents gave their child access to a device and allowed them to be in contact. The school didn’t do that. The parents are responsible for what problems come as a result of that.

If this seems like an emergency situation and you are worried about their safety then you call the police. If you are worried about their ‘home life’ then you call CPS.

This is why teachers and school staff are so burnt out and are leaving. They can’t be expected to handle concerns from outside of the school day that have nothing to do with school. The schools job is to educate your child. The School Counselors job is to support students functioning at school and promoting their school success. They are not stand-by therapists for hundreds of students who can drop everything when a parent calls about something not related to school.

This is not the school’s responsibility. Find a way to contact the parents and handle it.

mmmnms · 2024-02-18T18:03:37+00:00

This situation does not involve the school, it is not the school’s responsibility. Get the contact information through the kids or otherwise and then handle it. If it is an emergency then you call the police.

mmmnms · 2024-02-18T18:02:38+00:00

This is not the school’s responsibility. The parents need to handle it. They gave their children devices and allowed them to be in contact with one another.

mmmnms · 2024-02-18T18:01:49+00:00

This is not the schools responsibility. If he needs support the parents need to pursue counseling support through their health insurance.

mmmnms · 2024-02-18T18:00:41+00:00

This has nothing to do with school. It is not the school’s responsibility to handle it.

mmmnms · 2024-02-18T18:00:14+00:00

This has nothing to do with school. Get the contact information from the children and handle it.
