We use “size of the problem” at school using a scale from 1-10. 1 being a small problem, I forgot my lunch, someone changed the rules of tag. A 1 sized problem should not have an overreaction. You might get upset, but no temper tantrums or outright anger or crying. You move on. On the other hand a ten might be someone you love is sick or someone is very hurt. A ten sized problem might look like screaming, crying, etc. but that reaction matches the size of the problem. You can start teaching into that when things come up or by using social stories.
Also, look up Yale university’s Ruler program and more specifically “meta moments”. Which are really hard to get the hang of at such a young age. But basically, when a child is upset they catch themselves before reacting by thinking of their best selves and acting like their best self rather than the opposite. This is hard for adults to do too! Lol!
Grading period? In kinder? Honestly if she’s on track/doing fine I wouldn’t sweat it. I know it seems like a big deal now but in the grand scheme of things, it’s not. She’ll be fine.
Yes. Even kindergarten teachers write report cards.
First, I’m so sorry you are going through this. I would second an appointment with an RE. I think sticking with a dr who is not a specialist might be wasting valuable time.
Just my hiit class this morning. We are having a party. Not a football fan but it should be fun. Later tonight I’m going to see Sarah mclachlan with my coworker.
Our carpet was soaked! I think everything will be ok as long as the sump pumps keep working and we have our fans working to dry everything else out.IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200201/08b4911738d94385d8918e7cc5a1da30.jpg[/IMG]
I agree with talking to the school and see what they say. My kids’ classmates often miss a month or more of school to visit family overseas and no one bats an eye.
Except the teacher I’m sure. You know, who teaches kids how to read.
It’s difficult for kids to miss school (vacations, not illness) when you are a teacher. Even in kindergarten. I can’t catch them up. They just have pick up where the class is. What irks me the most is when families leave right before a break, which is usually when we are ending units and giving assessments that I’ll be using for report cards. Then when we come back I have to give it to the student when we come back from break at some point during the day. It’s actually quite bothersome.
Our sump pump went out last night or this morning and our basement flooded. Not bad, but enough we are ripping up the last part of our basement that is carpeted. It’s disgusting carpet anyway, so I don’t really care. Just not what we wanted to deal with today. It has rained nonstop the past couple of days. The pumps are both working for now, and the rain has stopped for now but the ground is saturated. It was also windy last night, but we didn’t lose power, so I don’t know why they would have gone out.
I think I need to bite the bullet at some point soon about getting surgery on my ankle. The thing about my injury is that it only starts hurting with activity. I’m sticking with mostly indoor running because it’s short intervals and I can do it. last night I was dancing in my living room and my ankle was killing me. It’s not getting any better. I just do not want to be laid up for six plus weeks. But I also want to do more things like run outside more, sign up for some races. It’s been about five years since I’ve done a triathlon. I could do it during the summer, but summer break would suck! Ughhhh. Rant over.
We are having a super bowl party tomorrow. At first DH said it will be about 4 people. Now we are possibly at 11. I have so much to do today to get ready. Also tomorrow, my coworker and I going to see Sarah Maclachlan. It doesn’t start until 8. That’s like my bedtime. Lol! It’s going to be a long day tomorrow.
Omfg! Indoor recess all day! And rain. All.day. Long. It was not a fun day. School is out at 2:25 and I worked my butt off to leave at 3:15. It’s a good thing when I can catch the last few minutes of Ellen.
I drive a subaru impreza sport. Its a wagon, but a sporty one. I love it so much. But I agree that you should absolutely look for an electric or a hybrid. Subarus are mostly PZEVs, but that's really not good enough. I often wish I had gotten a hybrid something instead of my subaru. But my subaru is so pretty. . .
Same. I have a Subaru Crosstrek, which is basically a taller, slightly sportier-looking version of the Impreza wagon. I love it so much. Subaru now makes a Crosstrek hybrid that I will probably buy when it's time for a new car. It's a small crossover, which is great because I don't like driving a big vehicle but the back is very spacious. AWD is standard on all Subarus, and the boxer engine gives it more stability.
I have a Crosstrek too. It feels suv’ish, but it’s smaller. I love the way it feels driving. The all wheel drive is great. Love the Apple Car Play too.
I don’t think what you’re describing would be considered helicopter parenting at all. It’s called parenting. I would definitely walk my kid to his friend’s house in this situation.
I was just perusing her account and watching that poor boy running down the hallway in a leg cast. She thought it was the cutest thing. That can’t be good for healing.
She had pp hemorrhage recently , a toddler with a broken leg and her husband is on a guys trip (I think). I would murder my husband if he left me with all of that going on, but I do think her stepping away from social media is a good thing.
Did you see the insta story with that poor kid on crutches?? It was awful!
Not trying to freak you out even more, but I would not mess around with this. I let mine go until I could hardly stand. They did an emergency ultrasound that showed many clots in my calf and was put on blood thinners immediately. Mine was not red or hot to the touch but very sore. I still deal with damage in my veins from my clot.
Goodluck!
How much did it hurt when it started? I'm wondering if my level if pain is an overreaction Thank you! I'm glad you got yours treated.
It came in slowly. And it became painful.eventually my entire leg became purple. It felt like a muscle cramp. My knee also was hurting.
My H thinks I'm a hypochondriac, and he might be right. Anyway. My calf has been hurting since Saturday night, and I think it's gotten slightly worse. It's not awful, feels kind of like a pulled muscle, but when I stretch it I can't really isolate which muscle. I also didn't do anything to it that I'm aware of - I noticed it after standing up after watching a play.
We flew back from Rome last week and now I'm worrying that it's a blood clot. This is where being sort of a hypochondriac is so annoying, because I rationally assume it's probably not that, but what if it is and I'm ignoring it because I think I'm overreacting? I did get up multiple times on our flight and we were in first class (free upgrade!) so it seems unlikely. It's not hot or red, just sore.
Any kind of call pain makes me worry. It could be a DVT. I had one when I broke my ankle. My calf muscle hurt so bad. It was like a muscle cramp that wouldn’t go away. If I were you , I would definitely get it checked out. I’ve had calf pain well after my DVT was treated a couple of times and I went right to urgent care just in case. It turned out to be fine, but I know the warning signs.
