I do recall trying to work with parents who did not want to work with us and eventually were booted from the center. It is a phase, she will grow out of it, but a solution needs to be found. Wish I had a good one for you.... <br />Good luck with the dinner Saturday night. Salad, and Lasagna is pretty easy.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171639016678241229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588048192582431507.post-53668640182420467642009-08-27T14:01:46.828-04:002009-08-27T14:01:46.828-04:00I don't have children, but I do have a co-work...I don't have children, but I do have a co-worker whose child was a biter. It seemed like it was just a phase and went away eventually. I really don't think that she needs to see a psychologist. That is just my 2 cents ;)<br /><br />Good luck with the dinner party. I am sure that everything will be great.<br /><br />I really do love that quote and thank you for the "shout out". I definitely relate to that with friends now and related to it more with men when I was single. It’s so funny how things change over time. I'm in a good spot now, but sometimes my friends can be a little selfish. That quote really puts things into perspective.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00621495013558045339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588048192582431507.post-35424609469044020672009-08-27T13:33:27.737-04:002009-08-27T13:33:27.737-04:00Stephanie: You are my hero!

And white capris! You can get away with them through the weekend for sure!Headbands and Hand Bagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274577210063409406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588048192582431507.post-73233558975004715342009-08-27T12:13:23.730-04:002009-08-27T12:13:23.730-04:00My children weren't biters, but from every oth...My children weren't biters, but from every other friend that I know who has HAD a biter it's always been a communication issue.<br /><br />She's only two. This, too, shall pass. (Just keep repeating that...)<br /><br />I would pass on the shrink. I have strong opinions about that only because a certain family member is currently taking his son to one to "learn how to play" and he's only four years old.<br /><br />I wish I could help with the dinner party, but I'm in scramble mode myself. We're having a cookout this weekend - complete with blue crabs - and flippin' Tropical Storm Dennis is supposed to be right off our coast (I'm in Va Beach, VA) on Saturday morning.

Since we're working parents, I think it might be good for Husband and I to form a unified front. The school is doing the quiet time thing too and I've been really keeping close tabs on the situation. They've been handling it very well and for months! We'll go have the conference and see what the teachers say. <br /><br />I should try the reward system - you think she'll remember though since I tell her in the morning and she'll remember until 5 pm? it's worth a shot - now I need to add some of your cute stickers to my order! =)Southern Living: Preppy Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15980788934203692603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588048192582431507.post-29013286580474429242009-08-27T11:48:04.602-04:002009-08-27T11:48:04.602-04:00I vote to take the summer clothes and white capris...I vote to take the summer clothes and white capris!

First of all, thanks for th...Oh, so much to say...<br /><br />First of all, thanks for the blog love. I love you and you are welcome to use Haphazard Thursday. It really is necessary and this is much cheaper than seeing a therapist. <br /><br />Second, Lallie does not need to see a psychologist. she is TWO YEARS OLD. This is completely normal and developemental for this age and not to mention you said she is getting 7 teeth...holy moly. Children this age are just learning how to express themselves and how they are feeling. Unfortunately, Lallie is learning the wrong way to express her frustration. How about a reward system? (some see this as bribing), but it is a reward for good behavior. Set up the rules, (so many days, stickers, etc.)for no biting and then give her a reward each time she makes it. <br /><br />Or, a "safe place" in her classroom. I had one and my sister who teaches kindergarten does too. When Lallie's teachers see her getting frustrated or upset, they let Lallie go to a happy or "safe place." It is a spot in the room for her to go, not so much a timeout, but an area for her to read or rest until she has calmed down. She can decide when to come out, etc. I have so many more ideas, but I am clearly already writing a novel. BREATHE...she is fine. NORMAL, NORMAL, NORMAL. <br /><br />Loved your chic and pink quote...need to write that down. <br /><br />I cook, but hate it, so unfortunately I am not going to be much help. You have such great decorating ideas, set the table super cute and no one will notice. :) If I think of something, I'll let you know. Sorry I am not more of a help.Goodness Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647585964800863436noreply@blogger.com
