My child was pretty violent with night terrors as she was screaming/crying and swinging her arms around and would just refuse to be held and be comforted. Check the child to see if their eyes are open or not. If not, I'd guess that it would be night terrors. We dealt with it by being really patient and just waiting it out until she calmed down. How long did it last? That time can seem like eternity but...I think you have to just wait it out while making sure the child doesn't hurt themselves during this episode.

Can your partner watch in exchange for you doing some of the other chores like laundry, washing dishes and giving baths? Maybe your defense will be delayed as well?

Due to kids staying at home, are you all going to rely on electronic devices like tablets or gaming devices to keep the kids occupied while you try to get work done?

ah I have a 4 and a 2 year old and it's exhausting when they both want to do different things with you so I default to the tablets just for a bit of a break.

Hi_Bears posted:So much this. 4yo and 17mo, they can’t really play together yet so we have to separate them if the 4yo is doing any kind of big kid activity or the younger one will eat crayons and destroy towers and everyone has a meltdown (myself included). Good thing the 17mo is gigantic and tall and can climb onto all tables and counters so no surface is safe from his rampage. In the same situation but like both of them want my attention to do their different activities, whether its coloring or going all the way up to the attic and then back down. I don't know why they don't go to other family members for shenanigans.

life is killing me posted:Does anyone have experience with Noggin? Is it any good? It had a seven day trial that I used sometime ago. It's basically Nickelodeon's on demand service for their most recent stuff like Peppa, Paw Patrol, Blue's Clues (from what I remember looking at) etc though they did have old Blue's Clues. The older episodes of Blue's Clues did look dated in terms of video quality. If your child likes those Nickelodeon properties, it could be worth a look.

My youngest has separation anxiety which has made it difficult to do activities with the older one when the youngest one wants to constantly be held and to drag me to this place or that place. How have you all handled dealing with separation anxiety from your children?

I kinda expect that virtual learning well into the fall. I'm in the same boat in that I don't know when to send my kids back to school. I'm so worried about the second wave of this virus.

At our pre-k, we were told to bring extra clothes in case and to bring wipes and pull ups. Ideally, the kids would let the teachers know when they had to potty but could put soiled clothes into a ziploc to take home when the pooped or peed themselves.

I’d encourage that as kids toys can be so expensive in relation to how easily they break. I don’t know how to get my kid on a normal sleep schedule as he’ll sleep late but take 4 hour naps that are unfortunately in the late afternoon/early evening which makes it difficult to get him to sleep when everyone else is trying to sleep.

We tried zoom art classes over the summer and it worked well except for the fact that we needed time and space to have the class which is hard with a younger sibling. I can't imagine what remote learning will be like when the classes are going to be longer and she'll need someone (me) to sit with her.

How do you get your kid to try something that they are not good at? My little one played with her cousins and was doing so well on their scooter that she wanted her own. We bought her kneepads and wrist guards along with a helmet. The scooter was gifted to us but when she tried riding it away from her cousins, she fell, got a cut on her knee and has refused to even try the scooter at all. woah. In the same situation as a couple of posts above.

oh man that hatch rest looks great but so expensive even at 80. I think I'll need to learn how to use my alexa dot for her while I try to figure out how to get my little one to take normal sleep breaks. He napped for 6 hours last night, woke up at around 11 and then stayed up for a bit before sleeping for 5 hours and then waking up again. With a kid going to online school, this is so difficult.

4, in kindergarten and she’s very shy. We have swivel chairs so she’ll use the armrest to lean on and not pay attention. I just yelled at her for not paying attention during reading time though she cannot read yet. I... it’s hard to do this all week when the other parent is not available to be around. They were one time and they yelled during that time. Today was a breaking point. The teacher learned how to mute the whole classroom really quickly.

Gotta love that students initiative. Though with covid, fire drills now seem a bit much. For the kid who can’t sleep easily , have you tried a white noise machine after placing the kid down?

My kids are late with things but I'm really curious if there are any books that can help with boy's potty training. Also, was searching for a book we saw in our virtual learning class today and geezus, a new copy costs upwards of $50. What the heck, yo.

My kids use ABCMouse and Kidtopia. Kidtopia is definitely feels less academic though it can help with writing letters. ABCMouse at least has videos that helped my kids with pronunciation and in recognizing colors because they watch it on repeat. ABCMouse also has books where some of them have voiceovers which helps a little with reading.

Are any of your kids obsessed with your body parts? Mine is obsessed with touching elbows for some reason. He will pull up shirt sleeves to touch them.

My kids are learning to potty late. I’m scared about the boy as he’s non verbal and trying to anticipate when he will pee has me nervous. I have a container to catch his pee as long as he can aim. I’m not sure I’ll catch it in time.

How do you all deal with blood being drawn? My kids have taken my unfortunate trait of having slow blood so it’s so difficult, especially when the medical professionals can’t find a good vein immediately.

Any suggestions on how to get a 3 yr old to mask up? They need an eye appointment and it’s a requirement for the visit. He hasn’t gone outside as a result of this mask aversion but a recent doctors visit is making the eye doctor visit a need.

we were told to practice putting a mask on our 3 year old every day and that even if you can get the mask straps on for a second, you have to give a lot of praise to the kid to kind of build up the kid being used to having that on his face. Our youngest is having developmental issues and is going to need therapy because he's not as far along as others in his age group and it's just ....deflating.

Hadlock posted:Why does my 4 month old thrash about like her soul will evaporate if she falls asleep, for about the last 30 minutes before she finally passes out. We've ruled out food, water, diaper physical discomfort etc. It's obvious it's time for a nap but it's like she's.... Fighting sleep? Maybe they are experiencing nightmares and don't want to go to sleep as a result?

Regarding Park Kids, they can be so crappy. One of my kids has trouble communicating in terms of speaking and listening so while he was at the top of the slide, he hesitated and the older kid behind him was telling him to hurry up in no uncertain terms. Another time, my other child was trying to go down a slide when older kids tried climbing up that same slide even though, I believe, he saw that others were trying to go down the slide. I want to place this into kids being ignorant of others and a bit of selfishness but man, it was tough to see.

Maybe some arm floaties just in case because there's always potential for disaster near a pool and some swim shoes because the area around a pool can feel so rough on the feet.
