AnonyMouse_14268 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 We are back three mornings and have 13 children. They are so happy to be back, no tears no reluctance at all and have just picked up friendships straight away. We now just need to get self care skills, manners and tidying up skills back on track! We are going back to full opening hours on the 8th March. Have a good day everyone, the sun is shining here in Cornwall and looks set to be a beautiful day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_19762 Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 I have news! We are going to reopen next week - just Tuesdays and Thursdays - as you know I couldn't get any funding for this half-term as I was such a rebel and wouldn't open in January, however, I have some funded sessions 'in hand' as we closed earlier than expected in December, tis has enabled me to offer six sessions without charge to parents before Easter - all very keen to take this up and I will be delighted to return Nothing yet re funding after Easter so not sure yet what is going to happen then...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have gone from one of the highest to one of the lowest, which is good. However what I have just witnessed now is unbelievable 😭. We are set in a park, leave work - the play area is full to bursting with children and parents, picnics out..... the whole park is full of middle age upwards all greeting each other with hugs etc. We have come so far, why couldn't people control themselves for a few more weeks! Sun's come out- the brains have been put away! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that helps ease your heart and mind. Crazy busy day today. I had to give up and not do PE this afternoon - just couldn’t fit everything in. I have a little boy who I am really concerned about at the moment - just won’t eat school dinner. I have tried everything. He has significant communication issues. I have asked mum to send a packed lunch in as a backup which has happened a couple of times but has had a mixed impact. She is checking the menus and tells me he likes what is there but he just refuses. Today all I could get him to eat was half an apple. If anyone can point me in the direction of some useful reading please do. However, the weekend will involve the TDL (mostly IEP writing this week), sock knitting and cake making.

If anyone can point me in the direction of some useful reading please do. Don't have any reading that I can point you towards, but I remember having a similar situation with a child in my class once. We decided in the end that the child was not going to be harmed by not eating for the day, but being 'forced' to eat (and I don't mean literally!) might cause more stress which can lead on to other long term issues, especially around eating. I think once the pressure was off, and people weren't worried about whether the child was eating, they then started eating with the other children! We did expect them to come and join the other children at lunch time, listening to the story etc, but if they didn't want their food, they didn't have to get it. This was also all done with the relative's permission of course! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 That’s reminded me that we had a little boy who downright refused to eat his lunch. We requested that he still sat at the table and I would sit close by. We’d all just chat and then once when I was eating a satsuma, I asked one of the children (who I knew would say ‘yes’) if they wanted a bit, and when she took it I just casually asked him if he wanted a bit as well, which he did. He had a couple of pieces, then I noticed that he had a satsuma as well, so I asked him if I could ‘pinch’ a few bits of his. He said I could, and I peeled it and broke it into segments, which I put between us, and he ate the lot. So after that, one of us would share our sandwich and then ‘share’ his. (With Mum’s permission of course). This was just after he had a new brother, and probably just a kick-back. Mum was at the end of her tether as he wasn’t eating at home. He didn’t stay for lunch with us normally until she said she was having problems. I hoped that sitting with his friends would help, but it didn’t, for a few days, until the satsuma. Once we ‘d got him eating at preschool, Mum made it so she would put the baby down for a sleep and out of the way before sitting down with M at home to eat. Then of course, when she was more relaxed with him, he was fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 we have lots of children who have issues with food . Have you tried finding a quieter area for him to eat? sometimes children are put off by the noise or the bad eating habits of others. He may need adult support or a visual timetable to explain he eats and then he plays? Have you called it lunch when its dinner or vice versa? Sounds like he may have some sensory processing needs perhaps? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_14268 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I can’t wait for my jab, don’t care which one it is! Just need them to get to the 40-50 bracket now. My husband 60 this year so shouldn’t be much longer until he has his. Hopefully it won’t be long until my parents get their second jabs as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel I may have had a placebo 😱 I mean I don't want to feel ill - but I would like to know iv'e had the jab correctly... even with the flu jab I had a headache for a couple of hours. I have today off work as a precaution, and they really could have done with me first thing this morning just for short period pre-opening up- and now if feel a fraud How are you feeling about going back sunny?... they've picked a bad week for returning all children - Mother's Day on Sunday!
