]]> Comment on Bullying Prevention Starts With Teaching Tolerance by Trishasmith http://danaskids.com/2010/10/17/bullying-prevention-starts-with-teaching-tolerance/comment-page-1/#comment-2084 Trishasmith Sun, 20 Nov 2011 17:51:09 +0000 http://danaskids.com/?p=243#comment-2084 Although many children are bullied in schools today, most parents are unaware that this is happening to their kids and that it is a problem that needs to be remedied. Communication is something that needs to be established between kids, school officials, and their parents, in order for bullying to be properly addressed.

]]> Comment on Quitting: When Is It Okay? by Beth Barbara http://danaskids.com/2011/11/04/quitting-when-is-it-okay/comment-page-1/#comment-2031 Beth Barbara Sun, 06 Nov 2011 15:17:52 +0000 http://danaskids.com/?p=332#comment-2031 As always a great post! I definitely recommend a trial-even if you have to pay for it. My daughter was taking ballet and gymnastics. One day we were at a playdate with her friend who had to leave for an acting class. Julia said she wanted to go as well. I was a little doubtful but asked the place if we could try out the class. It was 45 dollars-although at the end of the class if we signed up the 45 dollars would be added to the cost of the term. She loved it-the teacher said she did great and I signed her up. While there was a risk I was going to be out 45 dollars because she would hate it, I'd ratheer be out 45 dollars than 650 dollars which was the cost of the class. As always a great post!

I'd recommend checking in with the teacher to find out whether the tears are on and off or consistent. Together, you and the teachers, can make a plan to help support you and your child through this transition! Be well-Dana 5.5 hours is a long time for your child to be in tears.

My little one was running into school, then week number three, Monday, tears at good bye. I know to keep strong and continue on but it's hard to leave them for 5.5 hours in tears. Hopefully it's "just a stage" like everything else seems to be! Thank you Dana How timely!

We chose to not discuss it with Julia this year-we just felt at three and a half she was too young to understand it at all. On my blog I did write about that day-and also the one and only time I was at the towers when I was 8. Thanks for posting-I was wondering what your thoughts were on speaking to children about 9/11.
