My 18 month old twins are starting day care tomorrow...?
Kids feel parents emotions. I have taught preschool for 5 years. We have an open house before school starts so kids can get familiar with the classroom, their teacher, and classmates. What I have noticed is that if the parents make a scence, the kids do. If parents act like its no big deal, the kids do soooo much better. Talk to them the night before. Make sure they know it is going to be fun and exciting. Let them bring a family picture, and reassure them that you will be back. Be upbeat and positive. Even if they "lose it" you need to be calm and happy. If you seem scared, that will only intensify their insecurities! Its a big step and you guys can get through it! Deep breaths! ;)
I'm doing my first internship, need preschool teachers advice!?
I am doing my first fulltime internship at a preschool starting tomorrow, and I am super nervous. I did a practicum which consist of me going to a preschool for only 6 hours a week, and I didn't find it pleasant because there just wasn't any communication between me and the supervised teacher. I am not trying to blame the teacher what so ever, b/c it takes 2 to communcate, but at times she made me feel like...I didn't exsist,or didn't make me feel welcomed. Of course I am/was nervous. This internship I want to do this right, and have GREAT communication with the teacher, especially if i'm going to spend 40 hours a week for 3 months with my supervised teacher. Here are some questions that I am concerned with: 1. Should I bring lunch? My aunt said that at my little cousin's preschool the teacher eats with the children, but however I feel like i'm an intern, that the preschool shouldnt have to provide my lunch. 2.How should i take desclipine? This is my hugest concern, b/c i feel like the "step parent" in the situation, b/c I am not the "real parent (aka teacher)" i shouldn't be the one to be like "Jimmy! If you do that one more time, i'm going to make you move your color to yellow.." How should i deal with this? How should i ask the supervised teacher about how i deal with that? 3. At my practicum, the teacher never asked me to do anything! So I was stuck in doing whatever I could find to do..which was communicate with the children in centers! Should I continue to do that? or use that time to communicate with the teacher? I don't want to seem like a bother, b/c I know they have lots of things to do, and i am sure they use center time to grade papers and what not.. 4.In practicum, my supervised teacher didn't introduce me to the classroom, she just kinda told me to sit down, and I watched..and introduced myself later during center time. If my new supervised teacher asked me to introduce myself, how should i go about introducing myself? "My name is _____, and i am going to school to be a teacher.."? thanks! any tips please feel free to say!
My 3 yr old is terrified of school fire drills?
It is common for 2 & 3 yr old to be scared of a fire drill. They don't understand what the loud alarm sound means. A child's hearing is sensitive and loud sounds scare them. You can practice fire drills at your house and tell him before you test the alarm. Let him know that he is going to hear a loud scary sound but it will not hurt him, tell him to grab mommy's hand and walk out the front door with her to the lawn. Send someone in to turn off the alarm and then tell him the alarm is off so we can go back in now. He is 3 so he doesn't have a concept of a fire drill unless you give him one. Honestly a good teacher would talk the class through it a few times before the school would have a fire drill.

Single mom needs help with disapplining my child!!!?
i would say that its just because she is three. they all do that at this age. what we do with my three year old boy is to pull the big boy card. if he does not behave we tell him he is acting like a baby. if telling him that does not work we start to take away all his big boy toys. his v-smile or spider man bike. things like that. it works and we give the things back to him once he starts to act like a big boy and behave.
