We've got a lot of family members who wear glasses. I've created a monster. This is us right now, my daughter snatches the glasses off my face and insists on putting them on her mom's face before giving them back (sort of) It's cute and funny but she is a monster lol

Yeah, my basically blind wife has Opinions about glasses, specifically that they are at all times completely off limits. I (no glasses) got in trouble a few times for suggesting they could be fun to take, and now everyone accepts that.

my almost 2 year old somehow knows exactly where my nipples are at all times and when I'm carrying her will sometimes cling to my chest in such a way that all her weight is briefly hanging off my poor nip

My kid (like many) had a phase where he would end every meal by knocking over his cup. We got some good reflexes from that.

I think I got some substantial insight into "misbehaving" kiddo this weekend. I had a doctor's appointment out of town; I took her with me, and besides being kind of bored in the car but tolerating it (we alternate music picks and mine are mostly stuff she likes anyway) and having to play games in a mask for an hour at my actual appointment, I think it was a lot of fun for her. She'd heard about airbnbs but never stayed in one and then the next day before we came back we spent 2-3 hours at a sort of combination science museum and semi-ethical zoo (no large animals, etc). It had a train and a planetarium, we did masks everywhere and actually it seemed like most people did indoors at least. Anyway, she had some of her normal stuff like not wanting to eat anything that's not sweet, picking out dinner foods and then not liking them, etc, but we negotiated through all of it with no breakdowns. To be fair, I buckled on one toy purchase I normally would have held a firm no on (already got her one thing), but, we were on a "vacation" that was already a grand between a rental, a rental car, the appointment itself, gas and food, and I didn't think a $20 stuffed fox breaks bank or brains at that point. She made a bunch of comments throughout about how it was nice/interesting to do a just-us trip, and even when she seemed burned our in the car 4/5 the way home, I asked her if she'd had fun and she thought for a second and said "yes, I'd say I enjoyed it"  Point of all that is, no problems and then everything went to absolute poo poo within an hour of getting back. She was initially very happy to see mom and sis, but became increasingly noncompliant and finally when I had temporarily recused myself I heard a clatter and some raised voices from downstairs, and it sounds like what happened is that her little sister was sitting on the (mini) trampoline in the living room and she just... pulled her off, bump on the floor, while my wife was standing right there. Unhelpful behavior but it's real obvious it's got everything to do with mama/younger sis dynamics. We put her on a new behavior chart; any physical violence == zero sugar the next day. I've noticed through this progression she's become a pickier eater and basically will only reliably eat carbs and sweet stuff, as someone with lifetime ADHD I know that can be a big factor and I think we just have to work diet/sleep/meditation/exercise on a schedule right now. Bar Ran Dun posted:different categories can create very different perceptions of your child. you have to qualify under certain special Ed categories to get help beyond a 504 plan. some of the categories have reputations. Note that I, myself, am a semi reformed nutcase and I did a lot of dumb poo poo in gradeschool, from selling an inoperative-but-technically-a-machinegun Uzi to a kid for $20 at one point (lol Montana) to shitloads of acid before 1st period (lol the pickard missile silo), and I don't actually think any intervention attempted ever did jack poo poo despite extremely involved and on the ball parents; I just got lucky enough to live through it all without much of a criminal record and the fell upwards because I was white and Computer Gifted at the right moment  I was dx ADHD and shoved on amphetamines when I was 13, ritalin + SSRIs at 14, didn't start loving with recreational drugs until I was 17 and my thinking at the time was "I've been forced to take horrid poo poo for years, why not try the fun ones?" -- so, yeah, I have a biased and hosed up view of the pediatric psychological system we have.

Part of me thinks if she can hold her poo poo together at school and not get in trouble, that's generally better than involvement with the school disciplinary system. consider private school. we had a “good” outcome. it have been better at good Montessori school or Waldorf or 2E specialized school.

yep, we were in rural pa when our daughter spiked a 103 fever and refused to eat. thank goodness we weren’t the 10% or whatever whose fingernails fall out from it! edit: this is also when we broke our no cocomelon rule, and that was a long rear end car ride back to Michigan. meanolmrcloud has issued a correction as of 23:55 on Aug 8, 2022 |

fosborb posted:pink eye last week, ear infection this week. summer camp is going fantastic last week of camp for my kid and even though she’s masked she might have strep… was negative on lucira test so got an appt at 2 for strep test. she complained of a head ache at camp(that went away) but she had a fever spike to 103 and said throat hurts this morning. with Motrin she’s feeling better but going to take her in. she’s worried about what virus she has since she loves this kid book of viruses and asks about HPV and smallpox a lot now… she made up a virus called Octopox which is from an octopus and I’m not going to talk about monkey pox right now since I can’t fuel more anxiety since she’s a bit too aware of covid and tells kids it ain’t over frequently.

I guess I should be thankful the ads on Hulu kids shows are for grown up services so I’m not being asked to buy paw patrol poo poo or whatever. however, a weekend with my 7 yr old nephew at a cabin(his parents brought his switch and Xbox smh), my kid asked about getting a switch and Roblox bux. I said for the switch, when you can read better and do well in school. and a hard no for Roblox. after an hour watching that “game” it’s straight up garbage. also told my kid you only can play games that reward skill.

Ada Twist, Scientist on Netflix is pretty decent. The book series its based on is good for younger children, too. Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About That is on PBS Kids (handful of rotating episodes), Amazon Prime (some 45 minute movies, one season free I think?), and also now Netflix. Both our kids (3 & 5 now, watched it for the last 18 months or so) really like it, it isn't obnoxious/annoying, and has good lessons about teamwork, nature, science, etc.

What age do you start tv? I held off until 2 because of the APA's recommendation, then it turned out to be easier to just keep not having tv on around him.

My daughter showed zero interest in TV until she was maybe 2.5 years old unless she was super sick. Then a pandemic happened and we opened up more to something, anything to help keep her and her then-1 year old brother more entertained. Now they get 15-30 minutes after dinner as a wind down time before bedtime as long as we don't have something else going on. Otherwise, the TV isn't really on in our house unless I turn on a baseball or football game in the background.
