Has anyone dealt with recurrent ear infections after your toddler got grommets put in and adenoids out. If so, what was to solution to resolving the problem?
My eldest child has started school this year so we are new to the school system. We are in a private faith based school in our local community which so far has been wonderful. This week our child broke one of the rules and took herself off to the school tuckshop (very innocent just wanted to buy an icy pole with her 50c). This was directly against the teachers instructions, students in their first year at school are not allowed to walk down to tuckshop, they have their orders brought to the class room. Whilst she broke the rules (knowingly) and we are supportive of educating her that this was not the right thing to do. What it has highlighted to us as parents is an issue of school supervision/ security. How did a 5 yo child go unnoticed into an area of the school where they are not supposed to be (which is mere meters from the main road). We raised this as a broader issue with the school with respect to concern that there was not adequate supervisions or controls in place (there is limited fencing so the school grounds are open essentially for the children to leave or for others to enter the grounds). We were met with the response that staff have told children where they are allowed and where they are not and essentially they just need to follow the rules. But our concern is whether or not it is reasonable to expect that a 5yo or any age child would be safe enough in this context. Are other schools fenced? Would your 5yo be able to leave the school grounds without being noticed. I’m not really sure how to handle this. When raising our concerns about lacking controls/ supervision we have essentially been ignored. How would you handle this situation?
Has anyone else had a toddler with severe oral aversions, particularly to medications being administered?? I
What did you do? How did you manage? My Bub (20months old) is constantly needing medications for one thing or another but she is starting to have more and more significant aversions to any medications given orally but now also starting to have a very difficult time with foods also.
Give me your recommendations for a toddler trikes…. I’m looking for the sort with a proper handle like a pram so I can push her, but I also want it to have functional little pedals that she can actually reach and “pedal” like a big girl while her brother and sister ride their bikes. She is 20months old but short, so need pedals that she will be able to actually reach
