Potty training question/gut check. 3.5 DD is fully trained for pee. Wears underwear and has never had an accident since she decided herself that she was going to start peeing in the potty in January. She wears pullups/diapers for nap and night (respectively) and wakes up wet more often than not (I have no concerns about this).

She has never gone poop on the potty. She says she is scared to let it out on the potty and not ready. She typically poops in her diaper before bed within 5 minutes of us putting it on, so she’s obviously holding it. Yesterday evening she was complaining of a belly ache and said she needed to poop but was scared to go on the potty. I offered a pull up for her to go in but she didn’t want one (this was like 30 mins prior to bedtime so we proceeded to get ready for bed a little early and put the diaper on and she went shortly thereafter).

She’s always been one of those kids who will not do the thing until she is ready, pushing or coaxing has a negative effect. I’m inclined to let this work itself out. She’s interested in reading books about going poop on the potty and likes to talk about it, so I feel like if I just continue doing that and give her space she will go when she’s ready (this is how peeing on the potty happened for her). I don’t want to borrow trouble, but I also want to avoid bigger issues related to withholding, her getting more scared, etc.

Any thoughts/similar experiences?

Any tips for staving off morning sickness during work calls? I don’t want to disclose yet as it’s really early. Thanks!

I know some of you are fans of Athleta Girl. They are having an online warehouse sale. I stocked up on some new stuff for my 9-year-old!

Any suggestions for where to stay in London with kids? Preference for an AirBnb or Apartment hotel so there’s a kitchen or kitchenette.

Has anyone taken kids to see the Cursed Child play? Is both halves in one day too long for 10 year olds? Any tips on the Warner Bros tour?

I am going out of town for the first time in a year. I told my husband he needs to pick up the kids from school Friday. I told him six weeks ago and reminded him last week. THIS MORNING he told me he has a client meeting and can’t pick up the kids. We (I) will figure this out but I’m so frustrated.

My 3.5 year old stutters when starting sentences or questions. She’ll get stuck at “I” or “why” and say each word over and over again for maybe 30 seconds or so. We wait patiently for her to find her words, but I’m thinking ahead to potential speech therapy. For those who have started speech therapy, what’s an ideal age to get tested? I know from experience with my oldest for other types of support, I can get her tested through the county and a speech therapist can visit her school.

Has anyone worked with a parent coach who they really like? I’ve posted about my 6yo before…he’s a very sensitive, anxious kid and my husband and I are looking to figure out some more consistent strategies to help him regulate and just generally feel better about himself and more content in the world. I am willing to pay out of pocket, and also happy to do it over Zoom. At this point I’m not looking to get someone who can work directly with him, but rather someone who can work with us.

I have done some Googling but there are just SO many options and I have no idea who to trust and what to look for. Our pediatrician wasn’t much help, unfortunately. I’m hoping someone here has some specific leads. Thank you!

Need ideas for Teacher Appreciation Week! A parent on our preschool committee had the idea to ask the teachers what their favorite things were, and then have all of the parents purchase items to put in a gift basket. Surprise, that parent now can’t lead this for our classroom, he started a new job and doesn’t have time, so he asked if I could do it. I didn’t like the gift basket idea and was thinking of asking the parents to Venmo $ to me so I can get the teachers an Amazon gift card or something. Would that be ok if the teachers in the other classrooms will be getting gift baskets? Also what are ideas for the other days? Each kid brings in a flower one day, homemade card the next day, note from parents on the third day, provide breakfast, etc?
