Oh my god. Having home schooled my eldest during lockdown…. NeverOne of my friends got an email earlier with her place but I haven’t. So bizarre! I feel sick waiting, will frantically be googling home schooling tomorrow even though I am fully not capable of it
I feel for you! I have no experience of it, but I feel like that would have been like doing homeschooling on steroids! Correct me if I’m wrong but did you have to follow the school curriculum and do set homework. I mean I have no real idea of what homeschooling is, I just don’t want my baby to grow upOh my god. Having home schooled my eldest during lockdown…. Never
made up
where is the balance when she looks like she could be doing with one?! But I can't keep doing these 9pm bedtimes Can/will you appeal?
I will appeal but I’m not sure how successful we will be. We’ll be put on the waiting list at least. I’m going to let my feelings settle and then contact our school placement and discuss my concerns and see what they think. I did like it at the time of viewing but then we saw the one we wanted as our first. I had a really good talk about how they’d undergone retraining as they’d seen a big lag with phase development because of Covid. I do have concerns about my daughter starting so I really had hoped that if she went there she would be successful there. We had a tough time at her first preschool and I’m allowing that to cloud my thoughts! I have a parents meeting with her key worker at her forest school Friday so that will help her some clarity.
her choice as food was offered to her but doesn't make it any easier. We now also have a referral in to Paeds Gastro, wonder if that will take as long as ENT?!How much laxido is she on?Do we have to leave this thread when our kids start school?
I'm actually really nervous about mine starting in September. She's on Laxido for constipation and has regular tummy aches that mean she barely touches food for weeks on end. Picked her up from CM yesterday to be told she ate nothing all day - considering she didn't eat breakfast at home either, she went ALL day with nothing in her tummy
Last year she ate SO much food and was always hungry, but this year her appetite has dropped off a cliff and it really upsets me.
I was thinking that, feel like my daughter is too grown up to be in a toddler thread nowDo we have to leave this thread when our kids start school?

maybe we need a primary school age thread.
Sadly yesI feel like I probably belong more over here than in the new baby threads now
My little one is almost 15 months old, tantrum cries when he doesn’t get his own way/can’t have something that he shouldn’t, will back + full body arch when you need to put him in high chair/pram/car seat.. he’s fine once you get him in but omg the time it now takes to do something that used to take a few mins !
This is going to get harder before it gets easier isn’t ?
my first was the same but she would have full on crying meltdowns. My boy is the same age and he is a lot more physical so he will slap, bite or headbutt when he’s frustrated. My first never threw herself on the floor in a tantrum but I already know I’m carrying this one out of Tesco screaming soon As he gets older he will need more time having things explained to him and not just done to him. It also helps if you can give him a bit of choice with the small things like clothes or cutlery etcI think this got missed with all the school talk. My first was 15 months when she went through this phase which was not fun but she’d be in bed asleep by 6pm on the days she didn’t nap. I personally would just cut the nap completely and probably aim for a bit of an early bedtime if possible. Try and implement some quiet time when she’d usually nap just to reset her for the afternoon. It can take some time for them to get used to not having a nap so try and be flexible. If she does have a nap I’d cap that at half an hour to hopefully minimise the late night.Toddler gravy will be 3 in July. Some days she naps because she looks knackered other days she doesn't. On the days she does nap it's never for more than an hour and never past 2.30. if she doesn't have a nap she goes to bed at 7pm but she is pretty raging from 4pm until then but recently if she does nap she doesn't go to sleep till 9/10 (not through lack of me trying). Does it get easier to just drop the nap completely? She is like satan re incarnated if she doesn't nap
We are nearly 2 and a half, and God bless my soulI feel like I probably belong more over here than in the new baby threads now

Exactly the same here but my son had just gone 2 years old. The last few weeks I have started giving him only 30 min nap if he needs it. At the moment he will still be up 8.30/9pm running around like crazy. I think it is worth keeping them up and just suffering the consequence which is an angry child for a few hrs. Better than an angry parent with no time for themselvesToddler gravy will be 3 in July. Some days she naps because she looks knackered other days she doesn't.

I don’t even know what to say. I know they can’t keep an eye on every single child every minute but I am sad today about thisWe’ve experience biting a few times. A friend of mine that works with children said sometimes it’s not necessarily that they haven’t seen it, it’s that they can’t touch them to remove it. So we had a child that did it for a reaction and so when someone asked him to stop, he bit moreExactly the same here but my son had just gone 2 years old.

My son came home from nursery today with a big red bite mark on his leg. They informed me on the phone beforehand but I am just concerned that they said they didn’t see it happen. It was on his upper leg and it is soooo red. Seriously can’t imagine how that even happened and no one saw it. They just have had a good munch on his leg for it to be so red
hope little one is ok xxThank youWe’ve experience biting a few times.

. Luckily he is ok. They said he wasn’t upset but how would they know if they didn’t see it. They only noticed when changing his nappy and saw the bite mark. Hopefully no more incidents. He’s only been there a few months and this is the first thing sooo I’m not too concernedThank you
it is worrying, completely agree! So glad he’s ok xxxThis happened to my daughter four times in the first 5 months of her starting nursery. She was in baby room at the time and I was pretty gutted at the time to be honest. But I didn’t know what else to do? It’s a good nursery and it hasn’t happened since. I know they had words with the other kids mum as it was the same kid three of the timesThank you
