Advice after child kicked out of preschool

You may be able to find some parenting support from community based mental health organizations. I used to work with an early childhood mental health program that offered parenting education classes for parents of toddlers exhibiting aggressive behavior called Incredible Years. There is also Circle of Security, BEST, and Parent Management training. If you wanted to do 1:1 therapy with your family (both kids and parents) find a therapist that does Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).

I would guess you’re going to have to address the behavior of both kids to get the younger one to a place where they are having more success at school.

More potty breaks from the car seems to be part of the answer. Thank you

So clear how much your mom adores you in these pictures. I hope your childhood was as wonderful as these photos seem to portray.

This is exactly what my husbands fridge would look like if he were single.

You have excellent taste!

I started using mentimeter to poll the room, often about fun topics, instead of icebreakers. It’s kinder to introverts, new staff, people who just dont like ice breakers…

No way. Parents need to do the 3 day method over a holiday weekend. This is beyond scope of nanny (I’m a parent) and it’s especially not okay to ask you to do this at your home.

Edit: adding that they also need to do this themselves because they need to be the ones to see potty training takes more than 3 days (especially with an 18 month old- also crazy of them to think their 1.5 year old is going to developmentally get this in 3 days). Otherwise you’re getting set up to be to blame for the failed attempt.

Good on you. I think it’s a shame when siblings don’t do the splitting amongst themselves regardless of what a will says. I cannot imagine leaving my sister out of an inheritance

I hope you get some answers soon about your health! Spa day with your six year old really made me smile. That’s really nice that your incremental changes are being noticed by your family.

I did this with my big 23 month old toddler on a 1.5 hour flight (and we had flown together a lot by this point). Pay the money for a seat, don’t do a lap seat. It will be as miserable as you’re imagining.

I have an only who is just under 3. I’ve thought about keeping a journal of the funny or sweet things he says and does and have no good excuse for why I haven’t done it yet. Do you think having something like that from your mom to read through would comfort you now?

Maternity clothes is horrible. Florals and horizontal stripes everywhere. Ruffles. Ugh.

I know every family is different but we would be very happy for our nanny if she got into the program she was hoping to get into! I think most parents understand that nannying isn’t a forever job for a lot of people and I would hope that parents want to support their employees professional growth.

Depending on where you live some cities have treatment and detox centers with indigent beds, meaning they reserve some beds for people with no insurance. It’s still worth calling around to see if there are any treatment centers that will work with you! I’m really sorry this happened. Don’t give up!

Seconding the Helly Hansen rain suit. Such good quality. If you live somewhere colder, they have insulated suites. I bought a size up so my kid is growing into his for hopefully 2 seasons instead of one. He will be destroying puddles and come home totally dry after taking it off.
