BonHair posted:This might be part of it, but they also just loving love repetition. My kid (just turned 4) will go out of his way to watch the same cartoon episode over and over. Same goes for reading the dinosaur book, always the same pages, and you better believe he is ready to point at that pachycephalosaurus the moment I say the word. And also correct me if I read something wrong or in the wrong order. I read something a year or two ago that it's believed they like the repetition because it is familiar and gives them a feeling of control or at least understanding and expectations. So much of the world is unexpected and makes no sense at all to them; a familiar story does and they can anticipate things. My 4yo will also jump all over me if I mispronounce a word in a familiar book

It does indeed suck. We've both been wearing masks inside and she's been keeping her distance from the kids as best as she can. She almost definitely picked it up from one of her students. Lol.

PerniciousKnid posted:I hardly believe I could administer the test to my kindergartner or her little brother with better than 80% accuracy, which basically means it wouldn't change my behavior, so why bother. Having given one myself to my two year old and having had to hold him and my four year old on my lap for their pediatrician to do it, you're not exactly wrong here! But of they're pretty symptomatic with something like a bad runny nose, it doesn't take too much to get a good sample per their doctor. It did allow my wife to catch her infection that she picked up at her school quickly and then isolate/n95 in the house at least.

Good soup! posted:caught our first daycare cold At least one of my kids has been sick for 6 out of 8 weeks of preschool this year. One of the weeks they weren't sick was the second week of quarantine. Unfortunately pretty much normal because young kids in daycare/preschool are sick constantly.

fosborb posted:~highly illegal~ BIgDevine posted:I would of thought this would be a problem in terms of insurance. England has a rule that there must be a adult present for each x amount of kids. I think they were doing what they could to maximize the available teacher:student ratio. So my 4yo daughter's class only has 7-8 kids normally, but that teacher can technically take up to 10 legally, so jam them all together to stretch it as thin as possible. No idea why they quit beyond pay for early education is abysmal and you can get the same or better virtually anywhere right now. The good news is that I definitely don't have to worry about this happening again with my 2 year old in the near future. Because they're just indefinitely closing his classroom. lol. lmao.

It took one night of cry it out for my daughter when she wasn't sleeping more than 30 minutes at like five months old, now she sleeps like a champ every night for nearly four years. We've broken out the old backpacking bed roll and sleeping bag for my son's floor. One solid night of sleep a month is about the best he can do.

A baby carrier is always good too. e: also after the baby is here if there's any way you can help with regular life stuff, like meal prep or even some housework or something. Or watching the baby for an hour or two so they can sleep. brugroffil has issued a correction as of 14:10 on Dec 13, 2021 |

My 2.5yo recently started picking up "momma's book" and reading to us. Turning page by page, "and then the scary monster came"; next page "and then the scary monster came"; next page "ah scary monster!" then runs out of the room. Check your local library for when they're doing book sales. Ours does "fill a big shopping bag for $5" or something like that a couple of times year. You can pick up dozens of books that way for next to nothing. Your library might do a 1000 books before kindergarten program as well https://1000booksbeforekindergarten.org/ For a little bit older kids, my daughter's been loving this book:  and we think she'll like this one for Christmas based on her response to the above:

Can't imagine why people aren't sticking with teaching with that bullshit, covid breading ground, and now becoming the latest culture war battlefield

The Nastier Nate posted:moving away from poop chat Fwiw in initial trials, Pfizer found the 10ug dose was too likely to result in severe fevers for under 5's, which is why they shifted to 3ug doses. What we've been talking about is what we'll do if the Pfizer three shot works and gets approved before July, when my daughter turns five. Do we get her that first 3ug dose or potentially wait a month hypothetically until she gets the 10ug?

We went through something similar with our daughter for about four weeks when she was ~4 months old. Eventually we broke down and did cry it out with going in to check for a minute in increasing intervals, something like that. It was a very rough.... night. She's slept like a champ since then for four years! My 2.5 yo never took to that and still regularly gets up 2+ times a night to drag one of us back to his room, so no advice works for every kid.

My earliest memory is of jumping off the couch, ripping my head open on the corner of a piece of furniture, and walking into the kitchen scream-crying at my dad with blood flowing in front of my eyes. I was barely 3 at the time. The first of several childhood head traumas. The scar used to be well-covered by my hair. It's been a pretty glaring reminder of just how far my hairline has receded
