That’s the same excuse people who hit their kids use. You could have turned out even better, with better care and education.

As for tracking nappy changes, it can help with assessing any health issues and tracking long term trends, it’s useful for toileting as we can see how frequently and volume of accidents to help understand their needs for prompting, it’s useful for parents to know if for example they’re going out straight away and need to change before hand, and it’s useful for child protection (our records show that this educator changed the nappy at the time of the incident etc).

Now maybe you never ever needed any of this, that’s great but it still helps other people. Helicopter parenting is not letting your children go play with friends and driving them to piano lessons at age 3, it’s not checking a nappy record every now and then.

No, that’s not sufficient. I’m sorry you were let down by the educational standards at the time.

Yes.

The current advice I’m given in Australia these days is that it’s better for children to sleep and be monitored than kept up and to become exhausted.

If we had genuine belief that a child had a concussion and not just hit themselves on a fall (happens daily), we would ask for the child to be collected by parents.

Management can not just slot in to replace an educator.

Especially not when you have 6 rooms of adults picking their kids up after finishing work at 5.

The simple matter of fact is there is not enough time to talk to ~20 families each evening and give a summary of their kids day.

We log this information for a whole host of reasons. Many parents sadly don’t get the chance to speak to an educator in depth to discuss their kids day, tracking medical needs, etc. A lot of parents don’t even look at this, but it’s useful to have if it’s ever needed.

My only complaint, and this extends to all the genuinely important paper work we have to do is that we never get enough time to be off floor to do it.

Same my council out west offers like 1 or 2 extra collections a year? Just request it on their site and done.

YouTube added customisable speeds recently!

I find 1.4 to be enjoyable, but 2x if I need to get through something dense.

Or they could put subway surfers on the bottom half of the screen.

I work with babies under 1, even they can point to pictures to “ask” me to name them. Knowing others know stuff is basic.

Theory of Mind isnt something we use in my field, but from a quick glance it’s knowing other people have minds, that they have their own desires, feelings, thoughts, etc not that they know information.

In ECEC terms we would think of that as the end of their egocentric stage. Usually seen around 1-3.

More art galleries need to stuff and display the artists corpse alongside their work.

What is “childcare”? Because I’m working on my hands and knees half the time or holding up to ~15kg for hours a day.

So if we’re not perfect let’s not go on witch hunts?

I’ve picked up some words from colleagues, so I often say yalla yalla or acha.

Sometimes American words can be fun like “yo man wassup”.

Some people made reddit their identity and anything that threatens it scares them.

Is 2034 the year of Lemmy?
