    Still not adjusted at daycare after over 3 months -- help!

    @religiondoctor A visual schedule is a wonderful idea! I’m a little surprised they don’t already use that with all the kids. It’s such a great way to help kids feel secure in what’s going on. I do think moving her to 3 consecutive days is a great idea.

    Still not adjusted at daycare after over 3 months -- help!

    @religiondoctor I run a home daycare and I can tell you in my experience 3 days in a row is generally better than a split schedule. When they say she cries a lot - is this because her favourite teacher is not available or are there specific instances that make her upset? Usually kids have...

    Should I pull toddler out of daycare?

    @frank12 It will go centre by centre. So the school can apply for CWELCC but the province can deny the application base on the need in that community.

    Should I pull toddler out of daycare?

    @tincup Here we have licensing agencies for dayhomes. So you’re either with an agency or you’re unlicensed. And in most cases the agency takes 30% of the dayhome’s income. Doug Ford specifically set up CWELCC so that the for-profit centres and agencies had equal billing. Here I feel like it’s...

    18 Year Old Not Speaking to Dad, Should I?

    @melissa517 Well the grandfather died in March. Dad finally let C know in May. So wait until two months after her graduation ceremony then text him letting him know when and where the ceremony was. Then block him and move on with your life. He’s not entitled to anything from you or C.

    Should I pull toddler out of daycare?

    @tincup I think it varies from province to province. I’m in Ontario so centres and home daycare licensing agencies were given the choice to sign up for CWELCC. I know that the centres that did not sign up are having a much harder time filling their spaces, and then keeping them filled. A centre...

    Should I pull toddler out of daycare?

    @frank12 Was that before CWELCC or after? Where we are the demand for licensed spots has gone way up since CWELCC.

    Should I pull toddler out of daycare?

    @frank12 If you’re in Canada and you pull your child you have a zero chance of getting a CWELCC spot for your toddler in Feb/March 2024. Expect to be waiting at least 2 years. If you have to have daycare, and you’re not willing to go with an unlicensed home daycare until you get a CWELCC spot...

    Oh, me? Just screaming into the void

    @jossystephan Our schools have been closed for 4 weeks. They provided all the kids with 5 rapid tests before the break. All the kids have to show a negative rapid test to go back to school on Monday.

    Refusing to sit on the potty after a pretty successful 3 days

    @david_loves_boats I would take a step back. I find people often forget that potty training isn’t really about peeing on the potty. It’s about body autonomy. It’s going from adults having control over pees and poops to the child controlling when to sit on the potty in order to stay dry. If...
