Thank you to whoever recommended “Shh, We Have a Plan” as a toddler book. (Was it CB UK maybe?) I got it for my 4 year old and he wanted me to read it to him 4 times yesterday, when normally he only wants to hear a book once. He even went looking for it after dinner for me to read again.
My kindergartener isn’t making friends. This is a kid who has had really fulfilling friendships at daycare for years, and is now in an environment with all new peers and watching them pair off. Even the kids who were a friend in the first couple of weeks are now saying “no you can’t play with us.” I know that this is the beginning of the rest of my life – watching my children go through hard things that I can’t fix or do anything about – but I’m new to this feeling and it is hard. We’re in extracurricular activities but they aren’t school-specific (yet). I’m planning to reach out to a few kids to make some low-stakes playground playdates happen. We’ve talked about ways to be a friend and how to look for the people who aren’t playing with anyone. Any other ideas?
As a spinoff of the food thread, how polite and reserved do you teach your children to be around adults and in other people’s homes? I am always shocked when kids visiting other people’s homes help themselves to food that hasn’t been offered, demand treats, talk back to adults, or wander into rooms other than the ones where they have been told to play. As an adult guest in someone’s home, I would never rifle through the pantry, check out the bedrooms or home office, open cupboards, etc. My kids would never do this, and when I was growing up a kid who acted this way would never have been invited back. Is this just old-fashioned?
Someone is of course going to tell me that teaching kids to be polite will also teach them to allow abu$e, but that is lazy thinking. The goal should be to raise kids who know the difference between standing up for themselves and being rude.
Need advice, my 11 year old has been a travel soccer player for 3 years, 1 year of rec before that. She has decided that she no longer wants to be a travel soccer player because she doesn’t plan on playing at such a competitive level in the long term. She still enjoys playing but has no interest in practicing skills outside of the 3 required practices a week, nor does she intend to compete for a sports scholarship for college (that was never the plan).
I think all of this is very reasonable. My daughter has come to this realization at the beginning of this season and I would like her to honor her commitment to the team for the rest of the year, but boy it is going to be a long year! I might consider her rolling off after the fall season, but I’m not sure. Another thing I’m struggling with is, soccer has been a huge part of her life. It has giver her a physical activity, daily structure, friends, confidence – I’m afraid that the wheels will just fall off when she leaves. For those who have been through this themselves or with your kids, what worked? Take time to explore new activities? Take time off? I would love to hear it all! Thank you
Cross posting from the main site to get any other moms here: Does anyone have experience with either Falling Creek in North Carolina or Cheley in Colorado? Would be for an entering fourth grade boy for the first time next summer.
Thanks!
Before having kids, my hair was stick-straight and required zero maintenance. I had my daughter nearly four years ago, and after she was born I noticed my hair developed a wave underneath. The hair on top is straight, but I have a distinct wave underneath. I hate it. My younger kids are nearly two, so I don’t think I can blame this on postpartum hormones. FWIW my hair never fell out after the kids were born.
My hair is permanently puffy. It also used to feel silky soft, and now it doesn’t. I was at a bday party this weekend and saw some photos of me from the back and my hair looked awful. Help! I last visited my hairdresser in the summer and she blamed it on the humidity, but it’s not humid anymore and my hair is still puffy. She recommended leave in conditioner but that hasn’t helped.
Any ideas?! I just turned 36, have fine hair but a lot of it, and it’s a dirty blonde. Surely there has to be something I can do to not have Hermoine Granger hair.
I’m the mystery reader for my 3.5yo son’s preschool class this Friday! We have a bunch of books I can use, obviously, but I’m curious if I should consider getting something fresh. What’s a good book you’ve used for this purpose? Ideally something that is light and funny because it’s Friday afternoon!
just need a place to vent – i live in Houston and I just found out a friend has to terminate a pregnancy and thus has to travel out of state. (yes, i know some of you would say that no one living in texas should conceive, but moving is not always so simple). fortunately my friend has the resources to do so, but she does have other children at home, and so it is not so easy. i’m currently so angry at this country.
i feel like i’m failing as a mother. despite all of my attempts to not turn food into a thing, it has become a thing with my 7 year old. i have the kid who at the bday party is eating two bags of doritos, going to a friend’s house and asking for lemonade and snacks, taking extra snacks (more doritos) with her. this morning i found empty candy in a drawer in my closet. do i let my kids eat whatever they want at home…no, but treats are part of our life. she is also a bit of a ‘bigger’ kid which as terrible as it sounds, i do think makes it more triggering for me, but i really wanted my kids to have a better relationship with food than i do (i definitely have emotional eating challenges). any tips?
We’ve been really struggling with bath and bedtime with our four year old lately. We’ve had a busy month, between starting preschool, dropping nap, and a potty regression, so I’m trying to be understanding. But almost every night, it’s a struggle, and there’s so many tears and whining and complaints about the same thing we do every single day. Last night they were physically trying to crawl out of the bathtub while I was trying to wash their hair. We tried moving bedtime up a bit when we started losing the nap, thinking they were just overtired, but they started waking up an hour earlier than normal, so I don’t think that’s the solution. Any other words of advice?
Help! I need lunch and snack ideas for my baby’s new daycare. They will offer a hot lunch when he turns one, but we need to tide him over for several more weeks. Rules are no nuts, they won’t heat or chill anything, and it must be cut/purees however it should be served (and we will be conservative on choking hazards, of course). We’re terrible at meal creativity and could use some ideas. He already has pouches and puffs at his current daycare so prefer unprocessed suggestions
