Dreylad posted:my daughter is 2 and a quarter and she isn't really interested in playing with other kids or interacting with them. she isn't mean or rude to most kids aside from the normal toddler thing of grabbing stuff another kid might be playing with and, she gets excited when older kids show up at the playground and follows them around giggling but I don't know at what point she "should" be into playing with other kids. she does the parallel play thing well enough. I know I shouldn't worry about it and every kid develops at their own pace, but I'm just curious about it. On one hand, this sounds extremely normal, especially if she's not in daycare. On the other hand, my six year old was the same way, and it was an early clue that he was indeed autistic. I don't remember how much he was into watching older kids at the time though, I feel like not a lot. Keep it in mind, but don't stress about it? Speaking of, he got up way too early today and began making a crossword. Weird kid. At least he's switched to Pokémon now...

^^^ my kid just hit that age of playing at 3, and now he goes around the playground going "Hey I want to play!" And it kills me a bit bc his peers aren't there yet and the older kids don't care about him. -- I would like to add my two cents to "keep your kid in immersion." I am a language person professionally, and I'm part of a three language household now. The thing is, exposure to another language and culture is about being exposed to different people and appreciating difference, of course. But languages change something fundamental in the brain. Again as a language person the Russian proverb "learn a new language, acquire a new soul." is self-evident. Check out the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis to get a more scientific idea of what I mean. In linguistics this hypothesis is considered obsolete for research purposes but the base truth remains. Now, I am aware a math person and a visual arts person will tell you the same about their thing thar's legit. I am not saying languages are better. But perhaps immersion is a defined, clear thing and, as other has pointed, the gifted class might be good or not. Again my two cents. Dawncloack has issued a correction as of 08:59 on Mar 29, 2024 |

My wife is probably getting a job for the upcoming school year (as in, they're calling her references today so it's most likely a done deal) so we're going to be doing a two-working-parent household The toddler (will be 4 when the job starts) can have her preschool upped to fulltime; the baby (who will be 1 in about a month) will need daycare but (unlike his older sister) seems like he is the kind of kid who would do well with more time around other kids and new surroundings. So this should work! Nervous for a big transition but it'll be good for us. The one-income household thing wasn't sustainable and was always supposed to be short-term, and my wife was honestly going stir-crazy after a winter of endless double sicknesses.

I had fun taking toddler to a little train yard for babies and he got to see the Easter Bunny, but he didn't give a gently caress about the Easter Bunny because he wasn't a train.

I didn't want to wait in line for the Easter bunny so I put the stroller in front of the stage and snapped a picture of her with the bunny sitting down over her shoulder

Our local YMCA is so loving choice. The discounts off judo and after school care more than offset the family membership and instant, unlimited, access to a pool and climbing wall are absolute game changers for a bored kid.

I've known my dog longer than I've known baby and I know my kids regularly overstep with dog. Honestly, if I was dog I would have eaten both babies after the first tail pull. Dog is most patient parent out of us all.

She learned crawling though, and crawling to him was too much, I guess.

Our dog is a rescue with a bite history, and we take teaching our kids how to touch her very seriously (both had a "grab, squeeze, and pull" impulse at first which isn't how you pet a dog) but really we're just lucky that the dog has an "inner circle" of humans and once you're in she will never harm you I keep telling people she's a Republican because she loves her family and hates everyone else

Nearby mall has a "train" that drives through the mall. $1 a ride. My kid loves it so much. Trains are the best and kids just know.

Two days in a row now I've come into toddler's room at 5 a.m. to hear her crying and raving about poopoo until I calm her down. I think she's having bad dreams about when she had diarrhea a few weeks ago. Tough being a 20 month old.

Saga of bad at capitalism kid: a Danish Easter tradition is sending out a gækkebrev, which amounts to an anonymous ransom note basically, to anyone but mostly grandparents. They then have to guess the sender in 3 tries to get an Easter egg, otherwise the sender gets the egg. Anyway, we did a late delivery of a letter to my mom (protip: announcing the letter immediately is probably a bad strategy). Then, when we got home, the kid decided that he would prefer that she guesses that he sent it, so that he will have to give her one of his eggs, because he already has so many. And it's not even that he doesn't like them, he's just super content with what he has?

Lmao, someone decided she wanted dinner an hour early and her last bottle and hour early from when an hour early would be. She is accelerating her schedule at geometric pace, she's going to get up at 3:30, and by noon will enter into a singularity E: loving called it!
