Daycare responses and support

[Guest guest]

If your kids are in daycare, how has it been? Are there other kids

with helmets/bands? Did the staff have experience? Did you get

questions from parents?

My son is not in daycare, but he is in preschool. What is the age

range of the baby room your child is in? Are there walkers and/or

talkers yet? I'm not sure this will help, but the approach I took with

the parents at preschool was that I sent an email to everyone

explaining that Jake was going to be getting a new " hat " . I briefly

told them Jake's story and explained what the helmet would do and how

long he would be wearing it. I thought it was best to give everyone a

heads up, so that they could maybe talk to their child about

Jake's " hat " (for those who could talk) and so there were no surprises

when we showed up at school for the first time with it. It also helped

to make the other parents feel comfortable about broaching the

subject, and not awkward wondering if they should ask questions or

whatever. Plus it saved me the hassle of repeating the story over and

over again! If you don't have access to everyone's email, maybe you

could just type up a note that the daycare providers can send home

with everyone. I really think it would make the transition easier,

especially for you, because it would hopefully nip any stares and

weird questions in the bud!

Hope that helps!
