Teaching help.

Hey, are there any teachers or TAs that could give some advice please?

My almost 4yr (autistic) son has to stay home for a few weeks off of school so I was hoping to add some structure to his day by doing some fun learning with him. My husband and I have thought of the following-

Drawing the alphabet and numbers on the chalkboard
Following patterns with toys
Reading books together (that’s a hard one)
Helping me with small tasks like tidying up
Water play

I’m rubbish at this kinda thing so any advice would be great

Nursery

Hi all, my son has just started nursery and he’s pretty much potty trained. I need some advice as when I pick him up they have said he’s had no accidents but he’s not pulling his pants down far enough and we’re on the back off them when sat on the potty ?

How do I ask them nicely to help him next time as I thought this would have been common sense to help ?

I’ve also managed to come home with some other kids underwear so how have they mixed this up ?

And he’s not getting cleaned properly, he comes home with crusty nose from dry bogeys, he has sand all over him (why not clean it off) etc

Is this normal ?

Toddler classes

So when I was on maternity leave I did baby sensory, baby massage and other classes to give us some structure to our days.
I made loads of great friends too ☺️

However now we’re all back at work I don’t get to see my pals anymore. Plus the days I am at home it’s turned into more doing errands with my daughter.

I only work three days a week and I think if I see our local park or library one more time I’m going to scream! I want our fun days back.

What classes are you currently enjoying with your toddler? For reference she’s 19 months, walks well and is really trying hard to talk.

Desperate help

Hi girls, I’m in DESPERATE NEED FOR HELP.

My boy is 3 in July and god I’ve never known him to be so naughty.

I get terrible 2’s but i thought he already went through all of that.

Not listening.
Hitting/ kicking me.
Throwing things at me.
Charging at me.

He’s now decided to wake up multiple times in the middle of the night absolutely screaming like somethings happened.

I’ve tried so many things but nothing seems to be working, he’s just getting worse each day but with other people,
‘he’s been good as gold’

Is it just me that’s the problem??

Need help!

Hi mums! I’m looking for a bit of support or ideas.

I have a 19-month-old and work mornings (7–3), while my husband works night shifts. We’re struggling with mornings as he can’t get proper sleep, and we can’t afford a nanny.

Is anyone interested in a childcare swap, or can recommend affordable options (childminder, part-time nursery, etc.)?

Based in Wembley. Thank you so much 🙏

Snack ideas?

Can anyone give me any snack ideas that is not fruit? 🫣 my baby needs to start having a couple of snacks a day now but she already has fruit with her meals, so I wanted to avoid it for snacks - I know it’s natural sugars but still, feels like a lot of sugar in one day

Wanting divorce

Has anyone gone thru a divorce where you’re really close with your husbands family? We’ve been together 10 yrs and I’m close friends with his cousins and most of his fam. I don’t want to get into it, but we’re not going to end on the best of terms. Regardless that we’re both at fault, I know they will take his side completely. I’m just already emotional at the fact I’ll be losing so many people.
