Most nights, my child gives me trouble when trying to put her to sleep. I try to keep a consistent bed time. She goes to daycare while i work and once i pick her up, we’re home around 5:45/6. She’ll either play outside a bit and then have dinner or have dinner then play outside, then bath, then either a little tv or just play time/story time. Then at 8 is when i start putting her to bed. She usually takes anywhere from 30 mins to an hour to actually go to sleep. I lay with her and she’s trying to play and climbing all over me.

She wakes up at about 7:15. Somewhere around there, on her own. Her daycare teacher told me she’s napping around 11 usually because she puts herself to sleep basically. And the provider tries to get her to take a second nap later in the day because she’ll be tired but she fights the nap. Then when i pick her up, she’s falling asleep before we get home no matter how much I’m talking to her or singing her freeze dance song to her. Every single day. And I’m guessing this plays a part in her fighting her sleep at bed time. But I’m also worried that if I give her a later bed time, she’s not getting enough sleep at night. I’m just not sure what to do to make bed time smoother to where she’ll just go to bed and not fight it or play so much.

She’s 1.5

My daughter, 15 months, goes to day care and she often gives the little boy that’s her age kisses lol just on his face in general, not necessarily on the lips. She gets plenty of lovin from me on a regular basis, I’m always giving her kisses. She even kisses her baby dolls/stuffed animals. She doesn’t seem to give the other kids kisses but they’re a little bit old than they are. I’m sure part of it is just that she’s giving kisses bc she gets kisses but I wonder what makes her inclined to give kisses to him? Is she like oh this kid is my size my age I wanna give kiss? Or does she just keep comfortable with him like this is my friend I wanna give kiss like in an affectionate but innocent little baby way?

How can I politely ask my daughters daycare provider to not put on cocomelon?

My daughter’s only been there for a week. It’s a home daycare and they spend more time outside than anything else. Sometimes when they do get a little tv time, she puts on cocomelon. Most of the kids she has, have been there for a while now. So idk, I almost feel like I don’t have a place to ask her to change something in her routine? But I also really really do not want my daughter to watch cocomelon. I already compromise on her food choices. How can I ask her to put something else on without rubbing her the wrong way? I’d be more than happy to provide her with suggestions for different free streaming services.
