my son has been doing really well potty training at daycare but for some reason strongly prefers to wear a diaper at home and it's really hard to get him to sit on the potty. we've tried a sticker chart - he actually just completed the first one (25 stickers!) tonight and got a present, so hopefully that will motivate him. i've been trying to think of other ways to get him excited about stickers, because often when i ask him if he wants stickers/a present to sit on the potty he just says no. anyway, one thing i thought of is that he gets a sticker every time he gets home from daycare without having an accident that day. but are the action and reward too far apart? he turns 3 in april so i know he's still pretty young. at least he's making GBS threads and pissing at school i guess lol.

Kid started stuttering in the last ~2 weeks, mrs. hadlock and I went on our Big Trip, while she was at Grandma's (4 hours plane ride away) for like a week and a half, then went back to school and then a week after that they moved her to the next classroom up (her birthday missed the cutoff by like ~a month). She's had a lot going on for a 2 year old so thinking that might have some impact. Started off as "wha-wha-wha-what are you doing?" or "wha-wha-what is that?" and tonight she kept putting a glass of OJ on a precarious spot and I kept moving it so she points and tells me "put it rih-rih-right here" Apparently stuttering at 2 is not uncommon? Especially once language skills start to kick in, and "often goes away on its own" according to doctor google? Maybe it will go away by summer? Half writing this out here, so I have it documented for later. At 1 her speech was really clear and it's kind of regressed. She's in a spanish language immersion thing so that's probably not helping either. At first I thought it was her being cute and picked it up from another kid (always W-words) but it's started creeping into other words too now.

Was digging through old posts, not a lot in a decade of posts about stutteringOrganic Lube User posted:We don't have a stutter here, but she does tend to roll all of the helper words of her sentences into "na na na na" so she'll say something like "Grandma na na na counter" if she wants her grandma to pick her up and set her on the kitchen counter. We usually try to clearly enunciate what we think she said back to her so she can hopefully hear the right way to say things but it is slightly troubling. Honestly this seems like an amazing life hack as a toddler. You know what I want, I know what I want, I'm not gonna put forth the effort to fill in the blanks, and you're just gonna have to comply with my wishes I wish all my meetings were like this "you hosed up the thing na na na we're doing it my way now"  almost like an episode of seinfield or something

Both my kids (2 and 6) have done that at some stage. I just attributed it to the mouth learning how to catch up with the brain, it hasn't been an ongoing problem.

You know what's cool? A kids birthday party at DART ZONE. Basically paintball but with nerf guns. You know what's not fun? Being the parent of the only kid not old enough to load the guns himself, and being the only unarmed adult in the mix, out of cover, in broad sight. It's only nerf darts how much can they hurt? I can wear shorts. Answer: ow The funniest part was that he eventually found his fun standing in the back and just sending darts down range. He's never had a nerf blaster before so he didn't need a target, kiddo was happy enough just shooting the drat thing indiscriminately. I had the pleasure of witnessing him nail the birthday boy square in the forehead from about 20 feet away

My oldest has a stutter. It comes and goes. He's had speech therapy on and off. He's currently in the process of getting an IEP at his school about it. It's greatly affected his ELA testing because one of the ways they get tested is reading a passage into a mic on a computer. Of loving course he's not going to do well.

Just got a message that my 1 1/2 year old is hitting other kids one month into her daycare experience. Sucks to hear, but I've been assured its normal by the teachers and we just need to work with her on being gentle, other kids feelings, etc. Just hard when you know that hardly anything is sinking in at that age.

ExcessBLarg! posted:Eh at least she's not a biter. That poo poo's contagious. Can confirm. One day we were notified that our daughter had bitten another kid - this was around 2½. The next day, her friend had bitten another kid, and the next day, it was another. It ended after a week or so but the staff seemed genuinely worried.

The teacher said its pretty normal once theyre in class for a bit and start to feel more comfortable. She also described it as less hitting and more her trying to get a kids attention or as overzealous high fives which she definitely does. Just something to try and correct as we see it at home I guess.

Both wife and I got rebound covid after a paxlovid regimen that had us test negative for a few days. Kiddo didn't have paxlovid and is now fine, post infection. We are both bivalent boosted, kiddo had only the 3-shot initial vaccine. Are there similar experiences out there? CDC and other sources claim anywhere from 1% to 25% rebound rate, and claims are that it's paxlovid-irrelevant.

I never bothered with bottle warming or anything like that. Took a couple of days where my kid was missing her mom, but ultimately on day 3-4 it was no problem and she took to it.

We did it gradually, like starting at specific feed of the day, every day, being bottle. Then, gradually expanded the bottle instead of breastfeeding to all daytime feeds. I think it was about a month until it was breastfeeding only at night type thing, but that then lasted for a long time after we exhausted the multi-month pumped stash. The biggest issue at first was getting the temperature right for her to eat it.

I like warming bottles. But mostly my advice is to not contort your arm during bottle feeding, do the pleasant "hand up elbow down" posture instead of the unpleasant but more intuitive "keeping your elbow above the wrist".

Very unscientific but of my friend circle almost all of them reported some level of rebound. It takes about 2 weeks for the body to mount a full immune response so if you caught it very early and began treatment immediately you might still be in the first 7 days of the ~14 days it takes for your immune system to start manufacturing targeted antibodies and B/T cells for the specific sub-sub strain of BA.5 you caught Also if you got the booster back in September your immunity begins to drop off after ~90 days based on various reports I've read. That's enough to get you through new years but some people immunity wanes fast after 90 days Feel better soon

I caught my son almost trying to shove something into a socket and I yelled at him with such a burst of frightened intensity that he has never experienced. You know how kids in studio ghibli movies do that thing when they are scared when they pause and goosebumps roll over their entire body? It was exactly like that. Good lord, I didn’t think he could reach up there…

Our entire house has outlet covers, including the high up ones. Very cheap and effective solution to prevent any shocking experiences.

We have a handful of those rotating nightlight things. Toddler pulled it out and tried to "plug in" a phone charger cable to it to be helpful. Hard to walk the line between "thank you for helping" and "omg ur gonna shock yourself, STHAP"

Euro parent here being incredibly grateful for Euro sockets that are harder to stick things in, but also envious of your 120V power which gives a child a pretty decent chance of surviving a shock compared to 230V.

Tamper resistant outlets started being required in the US by code in 2008. But that doesn't mean people always follow that. Also, nobody's going around their pre-2008 home swapping all their outlets out. They annoy me, but they do their job pretty effectively.

Schools…wtf to do. Our kid will be 5 in October. Based on Connecticut policy, that means he starts kindergarten this Fall. His preschool teachers and us are all confident in his abilities to excel but he’s a little on the small side (always has been). If we had the option, we’d lean towards keeping him back a year but it doesn’t seem like we do unless we research and alternate preschool (most preschools in Connecticut won’t keep him unless he’s deemed special needs). Connecticut schools are pretty good, as are the public ones in our town. They also have busses, though we would drive him and pick him up the first year at least. There are some options for magnet/STEAM schools that are close to my work, offer after school programs, but do not have busses. I dunno the difference between the schools because when I went to school, magnet and stem/steam didn’t exist. I’ve heard some people usually elect for magnet schools if their own public schools aren’t good, but that’s not the case here. Curious as to any opinions on the matter. We’re going to an open house later this month which will have a bunch of schools in attendance and registration is in March. Another concern would be later on in life. Like, we can pick him up and drop him off for the foreseeable future, but eventually having him take the bus would be good. I’d wonder how his education could be affected if we pulled him out of magnet and into public a few years down the road. He’d lose some friends which would suck. nwin fucked around with this message at 14:12 on Feb 10, 2023 |
