who has resources for toilet learning? not looking for potty charts or punishment/reward based “training”. several of my parents in my toddler aged classroom have already started this cycle of potty rewards without consulting me, and it’s petering out very quickly, leaving the kids uninterested or nervous about using the toilet and the parents frustrated and creating larger rewards to retain control.

when parents do ask for advice, i suggest the pants off no diaper method for parents at home to get started, as it kickstarts interoception recognition, and then offering the bathroom every hour, without reward or requirement. but i’d love more information on toilet learning that is holistic and honors the child. before having this toddler classroom, i worked at a preschool that required kids to be toilet independent before starting, so this is all a bit new to me other than what i’ve learned in college classes, which honestly wasn’t much.

any advice and resources would be appreciated, whether it be from parents or teachers! thanks so much!

hi everyone, a few weeks ago a floater staff at my center was taken off the schedule for being rough with a child and leaving a mark on them. hr and licensing came and interviewed a few staff about it. this staff is now back on the schedule, but i in no way feel comfortable with them being in my room to cover my breaks. i have a tricky class that other teachers frequently get frustrated with and i simply don’t want to risk it. i’m not sure how to go about speaking about this with my supervisor, especially because this information was passed on to me by another staff, not administrators. has anyone else been through something similar, and what did you do?

hi everyone,
i first got my concussion 3 weeks ago. i had constant pounding headaches for almost 2 weeks. week 3, i was still having headaches but not nearly to the extent of the previous 2 weeks. on friday i went out with friends and probably had 4-5 drinks over the course of several hours. i threw up that night, but then also threw up all day and night the next day, completely unable to hold solids down. it’s sunday now and i woke up with a terrible headache, the same type i had for the first two weeks. has anyone ever had something like this happen? i’ve never felt so sick from alcohol in my life and the only thing i can think to blame is my head injury. if anyone has any advice, or had similar experiences, i am desperate to figure out next steps.
