Make them more independent

In my opinion I think the daycare is expecting to much my kid didn't even know how to wash her hands I had to help her an still do or she be like mom I done but not use soap. Like if daycare needed to they be like other teachers and use hand sanitizer and say all good

My daughter turned 2 in December and she just plays in the water when she washes her hands. She doesn’t lather up the soap yet. I think this is normal?

Don’t feel sad. Only reason I started giving my son more independence is because I’ve noticed it minimizes tantrums because it gives him more control within reason.

Also he doesn’t know how to wash his hands he would just stick his hand under the faucet to make a fountain 🤣

Haha it’s so funny because my son can’t wash his hands ,starts playing with water the moment we let him touch water . And I feel he is very independent for his age . Honestly nowadays kids are much more mature than their age and they all are doing pretty good . Your daycare is it school or daycare ? Because my son is starting preschool next month and his school is not concerned about these things at all .

My sons daycare made me f Eel the same way. Because he didn’t know which cup was his out of 10 other cups, and etc. mind you, this was day 4. I pulled him out, because those are skills learned in school. I don’t mind working together as a goal, but they were not solution based in their approach

We are not at the daycare yet but I wouldn’t take things too personally. SHe is 2 years old and if she just started the daycare she will quickly learn as he goes along. I think people are expecting too much. Learning is experiential. I don’t think you should feel about your choices. You have not ruined her beyond repair! If you were able to stay with her until she is 2 years old, she developed a much calmer nervous system. SHe will learn how to wash his hands.

My 2 year old knows how to wash her hands, but she's been in daycare since 8 weeks old and her teachers have taught her how and I've reinforced the skill at home. You're not doing anything wrong that she can't do it yet, just keep practicing at home by doing it together. Narrate what you're doing as you do it so she can learn to do it herself. Foster independence in other things by giving her a chance to try, get frustrated, and fail before you step in to help. Then when you do help, narrate how you do it as you do it so she can learn to do it too

My daughter is pretty independent and washes her hands willingly by herself and I feel like constantly telling her to stop washing her hands.

I think that’s where day care can come in and assist with those skills. But also that seems like high expectations. Every child is different, but different milestones …my son will be 3 in July in daycare since 9 not sh and still doesn’t wash hands appropriately. I mean we have adults who don’t even wash appropriately. Lol. She get there on her time.

@Noel same as you, my kid just plays in the sink, also in the bath 🛁. On the other hand, the only thing I can think she's very independent is that she can take off her clothes and put on new clothes 👚👗 and shoes 👢👟
