Re: I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAIDakashathekittySeptember 2 2011, 20:22:15 UTC
Good thing about trying to get the baby into a nursery is also that he at least won't go there again, but... you never know if you'll dislike those people as well. -_-
Yeah, it's a regular government pre-school. We're such poor losers that they're even covering our costs, so there's no real point in looking up private places (of which there's a semi-private one with a VERY long waiting list also within walking distance) since it's money we can't afford.
In any case, they don't so much have rules about progress, since every kid in a public daycare or nursery (like Kupo) is automatically put in one the month they turn three. They do encourage you to begin to potty train etc before that, though, for various reasons.
IDK how long she's had the daycare position, but long enough. More than a decade at least. Also, she has three kids of her own, so you'd think she'd know a tiny bit about it.
Yeah, she really hasn't helped when it came to me battling off-med anxieties about just about everything. Thank God it's usually Maz who usually interacts with her, but of course he's going to tell me if a trained professional has concerns about our kid. She's just... gah! :-/
And anyway: don't doctors in Denmark have "check-point" visits with kids to make sure they develop normally?
They do have those, but it's only like once a year at this point. I think we're supposed to bring him right around when he starts pre-school.
Kupo did turn out to have an issue after he was seen by the speech therapist. We had an appointment with an ear doctor and he had fluid in his ears compromising his hearing, so they put drains in there. I frankly think that most of Kupo's speaking quirks are mostly habits from that time when he didn't hear so well. There's a check-up on his hearing in December, but they don't expect there to be any more problems with his hearing.
ALSO, he insists on calling our cat Modem "Burger" and our cat Burger "mis" (

Oh yeah he is stubborn about words. If he things his way of saying is correct, then we can't persuade him otherwise.
I'd say it's healthy for him to show independence, but it's just confusing that he calls the cat the wrong name! I mean, I even begin to refer to her as such so he acknowledge who I'm talking about (so obviously his plan is working).
Cool! We have kindergarten for 4-7 year olds, but pre-school is either waitlisted or you pay for private pre-school. I can understand the daycare person's attitude regarding potty training-they probably don't want to put up with it (but then again, the person is in the wrong type of job). Maybe you should speak to the person privately if s/he is over the top?
We have daycare/nursery from 6 months to 3 years, then pre-school from 3 to 5 or 6, and then they start grade zero at school (kindergarten class) and, well, on from there.
The daycare person has been changing Kupo's nappies for more than 2 years, so I don't think it's about putting up with anything. She's just ridiculously high-strung on some topics. We've pretty much done what we could by telling her what's what with the info we're getting elsewhere, but I'm really not going to get into anything with her. In two short months we're not going to have anything more to do with her, after all.

Quite frankly, I sometimes wonder when she says he never says much over there, if it's because she corrects him all the frigging time.
Yeah, that'd be my suspicion as well =_= Especially if a freaking speech therapist says he's doing fine!

Alarmist people are a pain, especially when it's professionals doing it to first-time parents >:(
