@cricafan93 It’s true for our household on the weekends. Kid is in daycare during the week.

@damacri I feel like this is the signal getting lost in the noise.

@katrina2017 Do you think these people will be convinced by a study?

@scooper8 I’ll offer back my view as a researcher that we’re as humans capable of common sense. That poor quality isn’t good is basically a tautology. Infants have needs. The more those are met, the better. If 5:1 isn’t cutting it, 4:1 is better.

@grampster I mean, I know this is a science sub, but yeah… crap care is bad for children? Do you really need a study to prove that?

@seditthis Natural language is fun lol. I tend to try to abstract if I can, but I think it just ended up being ambiguous. We let him play with whatever is available/safe that he’s interested in, and (when not decompressing from everyday life) will try to engage him constructively while we’re...

@continualseeker Thank you for these suggestions! We do use planned ignoring, which I didn’t know was called that! I’ll have to look into this more to see if there are tweaks to our technique to incorporate. “Catch him doing good a lot” - I love this way of saying this. I think that I do this...

@presvytera This is a great idea.

For behavioral discipline, we use ‘time-in’s’ with our nearly 4 y/o. This looks like going to a book nook corner, calming down, being mindful, and discussing whatever had just happened. At daycare, they do time outs. I feel like lately, when I say we are going to do a time-in, he gets nearly...
