6on He wants sandwiches like his friends, not the dalma and rice I pack
Is the concern mainly that it looks different, or that it is slower to eat? At our daycare the staff once mentioned that children tend to prefer whatever they can finish quickly and get back to play. If it is the second, a rolled paratha with the dalma cooked down thicker as a filling might solve both. Could you ask him which of the two it is?
1on my 8 year old wants to cook dinner on saturdays. what can she actually make?
One suggestion: let her make the same dish three Saturdays in a row before trying a new one. The first time is all instructions; by the third she will remember the steps herself. I learnt to cook that way as an adult, and I imagine it works even better for a child.
6on Full plate at 4, barely touches dinner. Do I just flip our meals around for him?
I have no experience with this age; my daughter is one. But this is how my mother ran our house growing up: rice at four after school and a light tiffin at night. I don't recall anyone suffering for it. It may be less a phase than his body choosing its own timing.
2on Back from paternity leave straight into a release week
I would separate two things when you speak to your manager: this release, and the monthly pattern. For this week, ask whether someone can cover the late test runs for two nights. For the pattern, propose something specific, such as an early start on release days. A vague request about evenings is easy to agree to and then forget.
0on 7 yr old gets clingy every night before i travel
On release days I get home after our daughter is asleep, so I recorded a short voice note of me singing her usual song, and my partner plays it at bedtime. She is not even one, so I can't say how a 7 year old would take it, but you could record a story for each night you're away.
0on field research trip to two cities next month. he'll be about six weeks old
A shorter option is sensible. I've made two short trips since our daughter started daycare, and the one with a flexible return felt very different from the fixed one, even though I didn't use it.
1on Sanghamitra in Kukatpally for our son's nursery, while his sister stays where she is
Not there yet, ours is a baby. But I would like to understand the process too: when do schools like this usually open nursery forms for the following June? Is it in the autumn?
Is a corrected notebook something schools will show you on a visit? We are only at the daycare stage, but when we asked to see the daily logs at one centre we were told those were 'internal'. I am curious whether schools are more open.
2on 5 year old wants to 'work' at our shop every Saturday
Which part worries you most? Her being in the way of the staff, the attention going to her head, or something about safety in the store? Those have quite different answers. If it's the first, an hour with a fixed job is very different from the whole day.
6on Asking about nursery at Javid Mission High School, Falaknuma, on behalf of my clinic assistant
Could you clarify what kind of information she wants? If it's the process, the office is the only reliable source. If it's how the school feels day to day, the easiest way is to stand at the gate at dismissal in the first week and ask a couple of parents. People are usually happy to talk while they wait.
2on grandson has decided i need an afternoon nap. he puts me to sleep now
This is lovely. Our daughter is still at the stage where we do the patting and the humming, so it is nice to know it comes back around eventually.
1on Daycare says 'teething' every time he's cranky. Is that just the default answer?
Our daughter has not started daycare, so I cannot compare. I would only note that 'teething' is also the answer every relative gives us, so it may simply be the explanation everyone reaches for when a baby is unhappy.
