We have a 3 yr old and a 4 month old and the 3YO constantly screams during the little one’s naps (sometimes it’s definitely on purpose) and wakes her up. The short naps spiral into a pattern of having to go to bed early and then wake up early the next day. The screaming and loud noises is getting so frustrating. Any tips on how to handle?

3 year old May be feeling like everything is about the baby & they want the attention. Try to make things less about the baby. No “I can’t hold you, I’m feeding the baby”, no “we need to be quiet, the baby is sleeping”, etc etc.
Try to get 1:1 time with 3 yr old. I took off an hour in the morning one day a week for he and I to go to a cafe, made a huge difference.

Also time when the baby is sleeping is the perfect time for doing things w 3 yr old can’t do with baby around. Play go fish, connect four, paint, whatever.

Can the 3yo’s screen time coincide with the 4mo’s nap time?

Any way to physically separate them? White noise generator for nap time and send the other one out to play in the backyard/basement? Depends on physical space I'm sure

Anyway to reward the 3 year old for staying quiet during nap time, making staying quiet a game, or making nap time a special time for them to look forward to when their sibling is asleep?

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

I work with a classroom of Middle School ED students. One student, who I worked with the year before, has changed alot over the year. Last year (pre COVID), she had a good head on her shoulders and I thought I had good rapor with her. But over that period of isolation, she tried to commit suicide.

All year, she was much more withdrawn and ALWAYS on her phone! At the end of the I was 'beat up by her - she really knocked my glasses off.

How should I approach her in the upcoming year?

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out
