Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi, I've a father of a 2 yr. old with DS. The mother and I are not together and I've been working thru the courts to be apart of my sons life. I trying to understand and get as much information as I can and it's been very diffcult to get information for my childs mother. The courts have giving me overnights visitations and I reaching out to anyone who can suggest anything that I should be aware of and/or concern. She has told me that my son knows 25 - 30 sign in communicating but has not shared with me what these signs are. Below are questions I've asked her if there is anything I've over looked please let know me. 1. What is his routine at bedtime? Bath, snack, book, bed? Favorite foods? Foods to avoid? What time do you put him to sleep? 2. How long does it take him to fall asleep – does he do this on his own? 3. Bedtime rituals—does he like to be read before bed? Favorite book? 4. Any stuffed animals, blankets or furry friends to sleep with? If so may I borrow them? 5. Does he listen to music or something when he’s going to bed? 6. Does he wake up at night or does he sleep through the night, if so, what do you do (does he go back to sleep by himself)? A back rub, a belly rub, just some cuddles, snuggling, singing, reading? 7. Does he sleep with a night light? 8. What is his morning routine? 9. What is his bath time and is there any special routine you might do during this time? 10. Timing and frequency of naps. 11. Before bed time does he goes potty or brushes his teeth? 12. Does he drink milk right before bed? If so does he like it warm, hot, cold out of the fridge? 13. Are there particular foods/juices that don’t agree with his stomach? 14. Does he get ear infections easily? If ear infections, what are his signs? Ear tugging, fever, fretting? 15. If you give him children’s medicine, what besides Children Tylenol. 16. Any medications? If so what are the times and amounts for doses? 17. Are there any food allergies? Like and dislikes?
