Band-aids

[SilverSabre25]

Another one that doesn't give band aids for lame things.

one dcfamily keeps band aids on things for a ridiculously long time. They invariably fall off while here, and I have not successfully taught dcb to put them in the trash (where's our sick smiley Michael? ). That dcm also still uses hydrogen peroxide on things. Whenever dcb gets hurt here he starts to scream, "No, no peroxide! NO PEROXIDE!" despite the fact that I've never used it on him. Poor kid.

I do it on a case by case.

If they have a scrape from the day before from home and it looks icky, I will out neosporin and a bandaid on it (have permission for neosporin already on file).

If they come with a bandaid over a scrape and it comes off, if it warrants another one, I will replace it.

My kids don't over ask for band aids so I don't really have an issue either way.

I go through very few bandaids here.

We give ice packs for everything, daycare version of mommy's kisses. If they want it they can have it, w/ no drama from us over the "hurt". People with icepacks need to sit quietly w/ no toys or books (so they don't get wet if the ice pack condensates). When they are done they put the ice pack on the counter and can go play. If we have one who is doing it just for attention after about 10 minutes I will decide it is time to play a really cool game/activity and they are welcome to join when they feel better. ::

Lol one little girl I used to babysit (about 2 at the time) when her brother (4 at the time) would accidently bump into her or she somehow got hurt (bumping into furniture or falling down) she loved it when I got out the ice pack. Then the rest of the day she would always say she (or her brother) needed an ice pack for the littlest thing . But in her defense, it does get really hot around here.
