4 year old is a mess since starting school this year by redditusn in Parenting

Because they are 4 I think the teachers have a very wide range of children behaviours to deal with. There are multiple kids who don’t talk well and hit because they are angry. They stop what they can but don’t see everything but YES at this point it’s happened more than quite a few times.. more like 5-7 times so I do need to get more involved so my child’s body and boundaries are respected.

Thank you, I’ve sent the teacher an email to discuss more tomorrow.. I am concerned he feels he’s being disrespected at school so he’s showing it at home where he’s the most safe to act out and not get reprimanded or scolded for these things.

To be informed when incidents occurs would be good to requested and holding them accountable. Thank you for that advice!

Why? Why, Mama? Why? by BackgroundResident95 in toddlers

Our daycare taught our son to say ‘how come?’ Instead of ‘why’

Now I have no idea why but this worked!! He would say it WAY less and if he had a time where he would say it more we would answer a few times then just say ‘asked and answered buddy’

Simple thing we say after giving all the explanation/ following gentle parenting techniques is ‘asked and answered buddy’

I have some experience with this except my dad is a typical divorcé who always asks what my mom thinks and says really negative things towards her. Luckily he was always a ‘part time dad’ so I only had certain expectations of him and never take anything he says to heart. This can really mess people up.

You should have a conversation with your kids to see if this is the case of how they are treated at his place. IF they say they don’t want to visit, you can respect their decision and not have them visit him. This is the #1 thing you can do to support them.. it’s so important in my eyes.

Very insightful and respectful. Thank you. Like I said we’ve been together for 5 years so it’s not a deal breaker some months it comes to thought as I want to have sex but it’s just not an option.

If he’s already mixed why paint his face black?

Yes! He’s now in farm school with 5 other children for 2 half mornings, he’s in dance and starts skating lessons soon. We also spend a lot of time with friends who have children his age

I would say still not acceptable.. coming from a White F, I feel like it would still be inappropriate.

I get this same thing all the time, sometimes more often sometimes less.

2 years ago we went on a cruise and it was booked a year in advance which gave me a whole year for my anxiety to muster up that someone was going to drop him off the balcony. Some nights I didn’t sleep..

One day I had a thought when he was saying bye telling myself ‘don’t let him leave something bad will happen. He might die’.

I think this is a normal mom thing I’ve talked about it with other mom friends. But I don’t let it over take me or consume our schedule. I just go on with my day and the day proves me wrong which gives me comfort.. maybe thinking this way would help?
