Talk with the kids, then the with the parents and the kids standing right there.<BR/><BR/>As far as the biohazard we like to call the Nursery...Inform the pres. She wants to know. Inform the Nursery Leader as well. And if all else fails, hand someone a box of CLOROX Wipes, a spray can of LYSOL, and a bottle of Purelle and tell them to use it as much as possible.S'meehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101359854973455791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16367916.post-1157405200643979742006-09-04T15:26:00.000-06:002006-09-04T15:26:00.000-06:00For sure talk to the leaders.

I couldn't believe that parents would bring them. Now being a parent- I take my son to his class, and if there is anyone in there (he's 7) who is snotting, we surely don't stay and I tell the teacher & PP about it. <BR/> <BR/>As for the bullies. No words of advice-- never had problems with it. But I know in my classroom I will not tolerate it...Melziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283713850096053116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16367916.post-1157294698588030892006-09-03T08:44:00.000-06:002006-09-03T08:44:00.000-06:00Well obviously you went or you would not be ingori...Well obviously you went or you would not be ingoring me.<BR/><BR/>*Sniff*<BR/><BR/>I have enjoyed your crockpot, and I have no intention of returning it.<BR/><BR/>*smile*<BR/><BR/>You have been tagged at my place.

It is easy to forget his rough start.<BR/><BR/>I did not talk to the boys at scouts about bullying. The two that are the biggest trouble makers didn't come.hi, it's me! melissa chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280379007196906037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16367916.post-1157123913307894282006-09-01T09:18:00.000-06:002006-09-01T09:18:00.000-06:00Along with what Lisa said...Let the nursery leader...Along with what Lisa said...Let the nursery leaders know that G has a lower threshold for germs, etc. and to let the other parents know that they need to keep their kids home if they have ANYTHING along the lines of runny noses, cough, rash, fever, etc.(which they should be doing REGARDLESS of who is in the class!..) You'd think most parents would "get" this, but you would be surprised...<BR/>When I was in the Primary Presidency, it was AMAZING when I would go to check in on Nursery, how many kids were walking around with snot all over, and coughing up a storm!! Have your Nursery leaders post a sign on the door, saying that children with signs of sickness (and literally LIST the symptoms) should not attend...Nursery should not be a breeding ground for perpetual sickness!! Granted, just like school, there will be times when all appears "safe," and you'll STILL pick up a nasty bug! DEFINITELY get your guy a pneumococcal shot, as well as the flu shot...Since I'm high risk, myself, all my kids get these, and I feel a lot better just knowing they have that extra "zing" against these bugs!<BR/><BR/>All I have to say about the bullying?...Did you see the movie, "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle," with Rebecca DeMornay? The part where she confronts a bully at the school yard? THAT is me!!<BR/><BR/>Love and Hugs...Hope your little guy gets better soon!!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308067748781060331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16367916.post-1157120536783054792006-09-01T08:22:00.000-06:002006-09-01T08:22:00.000-06:00That is the very cutest picture of teh G'ster. I ...That is the very cutest picture of teh G'ster. I just love him, he is such a cutie.<BR/><BR/>You know, missy. G just has a lower threshold for getting sick. Or at least that is what I would imagine. He probably will, given his history, for a while. <BR/><BR/>When these little babies experience trauma in their first weeks of life, their imune systems take the first hit, and require a lot more time to cultivate, before they are fully, functioning. That is more than likely why, he struggles in a setting that is a total germ fest.<BR/><BR/>I really do suspect, this is something you will deal with (UNFORTUNATLY) even at first, when he starts school. More than likely till about the age of fiveish.<BR/><BR/>There are some steroid treatments that you can get to boost his amune system, but I have heard and read quite conflicting reports about the use of these. I would say, arguably so, the best deterant is extra vitamins and keeping his immunizations and flu, and be sure to get the pneumococcal vaccine. <BR/><BR/>I wish I could fix it. I would be happy to watch G, on Sunday's while you are at church. Since yours is a different time than mine, that shouldn't be a problem at all. I would actually enjoy the compnay for Ethan. <BR/><BR/>I have the very same problem with Ethan. He gets sick everytime we go someplace like church, so rather than put him through it, we take turns staying home with him.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, food for thought. <BR/><BR/>About J. <BR/><BR/>Slimy darn kids. I agree with you. I have NO TOLORANCE for it either. I wish Mr. Brown was the principle still. i don't know the current one, but when we dealt with this almost EXACT situation wiht Vix, HE rode the bus with them, for a week, and talked and talked the whole way there, to the entire bus, and humiliated them into submission. Maybe your new priciple could do that.<BR/><BR/>I really do think it needs to come from a source of authority. i struggled with Jay and his friends during Webelos Den days too. I asked on of the fathers to come and give a talk on bullying. That way, it didn't come from ME, but I do think the point came across.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps if you attack it from several different corners. ie: school, den, parents, bus... that would do the trick and not bring J out into the light, just so that there can be more mockery and teasing.<BR/><BR/>Does that make any sense?<BR/><BR/>This is such a long comment, it needed a warning!<BR/><BR/>I hope you're well, and I'll call ya today. <BR/><BR/>Where were you going camping? Who with? Ya know, you could always take our motor home!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, keep in touch, lovey!<BR/><BR/>Lis!~Lisa M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01015215401481176075noreply@blogger.com
