THIS IS SO PRETTY I LOVE IT
Using the long, holiday weekend to take away my 3.5 year old’s pacis (no judgment, please, as her dentist is fine with nighttime paci use until 4 and just advised that we take them away). Looking for support that this really won’t be that bad along with any tips you might have. So far, she has been a pretty great sleeper, and I’m so scared this will ruin the awesome routine we’ve come to know and rely on. She’ll get back to normal in a few weeks or less, right?! Thanks, folks!
Help. I have a just turned six-year-old who when he hurts his little brother–accidentally or purpose–is suddenly expressing a desire to hurt himself in a similar way. This morning he accidentally gave the two-year-old a cut on his face with his foot and then attempted (sort of) to replicate the injury on himself. It feels like a variation on what he used to do which was to say he was hurt whenever he hurt the little one.
I know he feels bad for having hurt his brother but I don’t know what words to use to explain why his reaction isn’t ok or how to channel it in a different way. Often I am attending to the little one at the moment and get flustered.
Any ideas or resources?
Anyone have experience with a lip and/or tongue tie contributing to gas/discomfort? My 4 week old is gaining weight and nursing well (no nipple issues) but seems to have really painful gas. My ped indicated that she had a bit of a lip tie and I’m wondering if this could be contributing. I’m deciding what to do next – I know releasing lip/tongue ties is a hot topic these days and I’m hesitant to open a can of worms if she’s gaining well. But I don’t want to ignore an issue that may cause problems down the road. Anyone have experience with this?
speaking of the paci above, i have a thumb sucker. she is only 14 months and really only sucks her thumb when she is tired (i’m not sure if she sucks it all night or not), but i’ve noticed she is starting to break her skin bc she is teething so hard. i try to discourage it during the day, and i dont really care that she sucks her thumb at 14 months, though i know she will have to stop eventually, other than the fact that she is starting to break her skin. any ideas?
My daughter just started at a new daycare after we moved to another state and it has been ROUGH. She was happy at her old place, even at dropoff, so I know she can be settled but it will take time. But I’m debating pulling her from her new place because the teachers seem to think that a lot of crying while they settle in is normal, and thus don’t do anything to console them when they’re upset. It’s kind of ridiculous but maybe I need a gut check on what I can expect? She’s 20 months in a Bright Horizons now.
I’ve tried asking the teachers what they recommend to make the transition easier and they just say things like “all kids cry, it will take a while” but they don’t seem to be reassuring or distracting the other kids in the room when they cry, so I have to assume they are doing the same with my daughter after I’m gone. I don’t think that’s really an acceptable solution but am stumped on how to move forward. I emailed the director to set up a meeting to discuss what she thinks. Thanks for your advice!
Just a rant — we ordered a glider from Pottery Barn Kids on May 11, and the delivery date keeps being pushed back. Now it’s August 26, but no guarantee it won’t be pushed back again. Arrggh.
Anyone have reassuring stories about toddlers who hated the water and eventually grew into strong swimmers? We have tried to take my 16 month old swimming maybe 5 times. The first few times were complete disasters and she cried hysterically until we left the pool area. We eventually got her comfortable near the water, but she still gets very upset when we try to dip any part of her body in the water. She likes bathtime but not having her hair washed, fwiw. We have done a variety of different swimming experiences (indoor vs outdoors, alone vs with friends, encouraging her to walk into a shallow area vs held by an adult in deeper water etc.) I feel like everyone I know has a “water baby” who loved being in the pool basically from birth, so I feel like a bit of an outlier.
growing up we had a family friend whose toddler hated the water and refused to get into the pool as a slightly older kid during swim lessons…this toddler ended up as one of the top swimmers on her high school’s swim team.
have you taken her to a splash pad? what about an above ground baby pool where she can play with toys? can you try to take her swimming more frequently?
We had too much 4th of July yesterday and plan to stay in tonight with The Kid for movie night. Please recommend something non-Disney suitable for one almost-eight year old and two parents that is available on Netflix or Prime that will entertain the child, not annoy the adults, and that we might not already have seen. Thanks!
