Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 My kids daycare is great about suggesting things and giving information. They helped with every step (literally) of my older child's development. I know if they had good information about plagio, they would have suggested that we check into it. Problem was that only one teacher had experience. Maybe you're there to open their understanding. I would provide the director and teachers with information. Just tell them " this is my experience and I want to share with you for future reference. " Let them know that you're willing to answer questions and give tips. I would work on relationship building. I know it's hard. We're drop-ins too. But one or two minutes here and there makes a big difference. Those minutes will help open the door for you to help. > > My son had a helmet for 3 months last fall.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Can you ask the teacher what time the kids are dropped off/picked up, and plan to " bump " into the parents. Then you can say " you know my baby had a slightly mishappen head and wore a helmet to correct it " or, " I hope you don't mind my saying this but my baby's head looked a lot like your son's when he was younger.... " . Good luck and let us know if you figure something out. -christine sydney 2 yrs starband grad > > My son had a helmet for 3 months last fall.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I wouldn't say anything. As parents we worry so much about so many things, would you want to be responsible for putting that doubt in someone's head? It really won't hurt them to have a crooked head, I know there are lots of theories & I am getting a helmet for my child, so I buy it, but I wouldn't wish this stress & financial burden on other parents. I have enough guilt as a parent in general. Just my 2 cents for what it's worth, I wish no one had told me. > > My son had a helmet for 3 months last fall.
