Here are my thoughts hope you can relate to this stuff.....
The developmental milestones have changed.
15 years ago this is what was expected....
6 months-babies crawling
12 months-babies walking, drinking milk, done with baby food.
Done with bottles and paci’s
Using a cup and spoon or at least trying.
Babies starting to talk using small words.
2 years have a bigger vocabulary can speak in 2-3 word sentences
2 ½ toddlers potty trained not at 3 or 4.
Now it's o.k. if baby isn't doing any of this it's more of the baby will do it when they are ready.
Parents wanted to spend quality time with their child. They enjoyed being with their child
I can’t tell you how many times I have heard grrrrr my kids make me sick or here go to Miss Karen because I can’t stand to be around you for another minute or I had my child all weekend I could use the break so here he is I am going back home and going to bed. I can go on but you get the idea.
To me it's very sad. I feel bad for kids today.
Children are more aggressive
Children are more wound up when they arrive…It used to be I would have to help them fully wake up and start our day now I have to start out with gross motor activities for at least an hour because these guys are so wired.
If a child was acting up the parent dealt with it….A child was disciplined not always spanked but was taught the right way to act, not today, and yes there is absolutely a line between discipline and abuse and everyone was aware of that.
Just last week I had a kid rip my calendar just because he wanted to. He did it in front of his mom. The mom laughed but did yell at her kid. Didn’t make him apologize didn’t offer to buy me a new calendar didn’t even apologize herself for allowing her child to act up. Oh the calendar came from discount school supplies it’s not a standard calendar.
Parents seem to accept the destructiveness behavior they use age as a blame.
Sorry but if I purposely destroyed something that was someone elses wooo hooo look out! Hey you know what that taught me RESPECT! Just saying!
I can't imagine going to someone else's house and breaking something just because I felt like it!
My plan of action-While the children are with me I take everyday happenings and turn them into a learning activity, I work on manners, responsibilities and problem solving skills. On top of normal curriculum.
Not trying to get into a debate with anyone this is what I see on a regular basis.
