    most kids do "solo" play til 4 or sometimes 5. So if Wolfy plays by himself, it's to be expected. Don't worry.( mom of 5 and preschool teacher 18 years.)

      So true. They start playing by themselves. Then move to parallel play, where two children play solo but near each other and watching each other. Unless you have twins, where the normal rules don't really apply.

    Every kid is different. Sometimes when a single child gets a lot of attention from the parents they are used to being the center of the universe. It can be an adjustment having to learn to be independent and socialize with other children.

  • @MyeshaJenkins
    @MyeshaJenkins 2 ปีที่แล้ว +77

    As someone who owns a daycare in America, it is quite normal to start noticing behaviors that are contrary to how Wolfy usually behaves. Kids learn behaviors from other kids. So, if he sees another kid get more attention once he/she throws a tantrum or is whiny/crying. He could be having stronger displays of emotion to, as you said, get more attention. Also, as other comments have stated the blood in the nose is from dry air. The daycare is probably cooler and dryer than your home. 🧡

    Paolo, it's completely normal to have parents not watch their kids in Canada! My mom teaches kindergarten, and even on the first day, having parents stand at the windows and watch makes the seperation anxiety worse. The kids fixate on the windows and trying to see their parents.
    But if parents go home, then the kids get acclimatized really quickly and learn to play with each other, even on the first day. Honestly, the teachers are normally really really caring and want the best for the kids, so your loved ones are in good hands.

      It's the same in Germany. It makes the anxiety of the kids worse and the kindergarten teachers don't want to be constantly watched by the parents as well xD apart from that the rooms are simply not big enough to shelter the kids and their parents.

    If the air is too dry, his nose might be cracking. Maybe the blood came from that. My nose has always been like that. Based on your outfits, it looks like it’s starting to cool down and humidity is probably low. Saline gel mist works very well and humidifier at night is also great

    I am a Preschool Teacher and my school still doesn't allow parents inside the school due to covid sop. However, we do have a school app system where teachers will upload photos and videos for parents to see the activities done everyday. Having said that, it is beneficial for the children to separate from parents during nursery time. It will help them become more independant emotionally. I understand as parents, it's concerning, but time will show how capable our children are at developing 😊 keep up your great job as parents!

    Ah bless you all. I remember like it was yesterday when my son went to nursery for the first time. Its a big transition for you all. I use to be a nursery teacher and one thing I found was it dose take at least 3 weeks for the little ones to really settle in. He seams to be doing amazing well. When he puts his head down and seams shy it probably is because of Wolfies gentle but sweet nature but also he is demonstrating to his peers, hey I don't like it when you get too close or take my toy away. Some little ones are more dominant and pushy but when you think of a of the different personalities in the world this is all perfectly normal and natural demonstrations of behaviour. I think as parents your quite right to be concerned if his nose membranes where blood stained. If Wolfie is not a nose picker then I would surmise that he may of accidentally knocked himself slightly or he may of knocked into someone else or someone knocked into him. Little ones of Wolfies age have not got full spacial awareness as of yet and may bump into one another or furniture at times. All of these things are perfectly normal. Just keep an eye on his nose and any signs of continuing of nose bleeds just take him to his doctors to get him checked out but I'm sure his completely fine. Also it's a fantastic sign that the Nursery school is followed this up with you. As nursery teachers they will be on full alert 24/7. They are so precious our children and all of the things you have experienced and expressed are perfectly fine. He looks so happy and healthy and you can tell little Wolfie is going to be a quick learner and very bright indeed. Congratulations on getting through your first week of Nursery you all should be so very proud of each one of you. God bless and take care 🙂 🙏 ❤️ ♥️ 💕

    • @deb8190

      That's interesting. Here in Australia we have something called 'stay and play's' where before a child is officially starting, parents can bring them as many times as they want and stay as long as they want to get the child used to the childcare and the teachers. After the child seems comfortable the parents are asked to go somewhere (still in the centre) where the child can't see them for longer and longer periods to get them used to the parent not being there. The parents aren't charged for any of this as the child isn't officially in care.

    When my oldest one was still 2-3 yrs here in the San Francisco Bay Area , her preschool allowed in and outs for parents anytime of the day. It was nice to watch in the background while she interacted with her friends. It all changed during Covid , few mins during pickup and drop off now I believe for current schedules.

  • @deb8190
    @deb8190 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As someone who works in childcare I don't think you need to worry!! It can take up to a few months for a child who is not used to being around other children to adapt. They have to learn to deal with the loud noises and how to interact with the other children. How to initiate play, what to do when another child takes a toy away etc. Also try not to freak about him getting hurt! He will come home with bruises and cuts, children fall over, misjudge distances etc. It's actually extremely important for development as it allows them to judge risks and figure out how to not get hurt next time :D

    I'm working in a kindergarten (incl. nursery) in germany and we don't let the parents out for AT LEAST 4 days! You are with us and the other kids for about an hour with your kid. So they get used to us, to the room, to the other kids. We always watch your kid and see, if they play only with you or near to you or if they don't care that you're there. If we think it's okay for you to leave, you go out for one hour. Only one hour. We see how the kids react and expand the time you are away from day to day (if the kids handle your leaving good)

This is amazing cuz I can monitor what he does, plus see how he interacts with other kids and teachers. sometimes if I see something I will call the teacher and mention it.

    I think you are overthinking it a bit tbh. I spent my working life as a childrens nanny and considering young Wolfy wasn’t able to socialise as much because of the pandemic I think he is doing wonderfully. He is going to have little temper tantrums as he is struggling to process all these new things. He will be tired and cranky too, he is a little shy but that isn’t surprising either as I don’t think you had any kidlets of Wolfies age in your covid bubble. It might be an idea to talk to other parents and see if you can arrange a play date for him and another child that way he will have someone at nursery he can relate to. When you leave him in the morning it takes every child a while to settle and some do it immediately and some don’t. Wolfy is taking his own time to quietly process what is going on around him. He is a bright, happy little boy and the way you are both reassuring him is brilliant, as long as you support him that way he should be fine. Try not to worry everyone including gorgeous young Wolfy goes at the pace that works for them. Much love ♥️

    I love both your concern for him. As a mother and previous Early Childhood Teacher... Toddlers being in a daycare is tough for them, everything you felt he was going through is true. At this age they just need mama and dada and being in a new environment with new people, children and adults they're not close with is hard. They do feel a bit lost and the teachers should be comforting him and encouraging him to be involved in play. I think finding a new nursery if possible sounds best, otherwise keep loving and supporting him as you are..

    From Australia here, same rules apply for drop off and pick up (only allowed to stay for a few minutes at each) but we have an app that the educators use to let us know what our daughter has eaten, how many nappy changes (and if it was wet or soiled etc)
    We first started sending her when she was 8 months old for 3 days a week. She’s now 16 months old and absolutely loves it. Took her a little while to adjust, but we always let the educators comfort her if she’s upset on drop off as we wanted her to realise they are good people and will comfort her just like we will when she’s upset.
    She also plays a lot on her own, but she does at home too. We are lucky enough to have a playroom for her and we let her do her own thing, we are in there with her to supervise but she plays on her own a lot - she does bring over toys to play with us or will call us over but we like that she plays on her own!
    Remember, daycare/nursery won’t give the same amount of care/attention to him as you do at home ❤

My feeling is that most children are not happy at nursery until they are able to enjoy playing with other children, around the age of 2 1/2 to 3 for most but often later. As practitioners we don’t have the possibility of giving children the 1-1 they need so if you have an only child like Wolfy, who isn’t used to not being the centre of attention it is even harder. Personally, I would have a nanny until the age of 4 and then think about group care. The clue is in the name - nursery can only offer care to groups of children, not individual children and if it worries you do something different, do not go with the cultural expectations that are built on an economic value (group care) rather than a care value (have a nanny). It’s tough but that’s the reality.

      I agree with you. Very young children are often not ready to be in a school setting. They also get sick a lot the first year. Here in Israel, we have what's called a meeshpachton, which is a small nursery for toddlers....maybe 4 to 6 kids but they are private and like a private babysitter, may not be affordable which is a shame.

    classic only child scenario. Used to being the center of attention all the time. Being attended to constantly. Never having to share because everything is yours, getting your way pretty much all the time. Suddenly there're other kids around, and you aren't the center of the world any more, and the toys aren't yours exclusively any more. It's a big shock going from being the only one in the world, to one of several. An only child is used to being alone, and is naturally more independent than a child with siblings of course. I know, I'm an only child, raised primarily by a Japanese mother. He'll get used to it once his ego gets over the shock and he realizes they're other people in a bigger world than the small one he's used to.

    Blood boogers are common it's a build up of dirt and such , also due to dry air, I used to get them a lot when I was a kid, and most kids do,

    You guys are really great parents. I am just as protective or probably more. The nasal cavity is very sensitive and fairly thin on some individuals/children, and if a dried hana kuso was hardened and tore off, or it was particularly dry weather, or he had minor allergies, or cold, could be some reasons. The internal cavity can draw blood fairly easily without external trauma. In fact, he could have many times where there was blood, but not enough to come out. I hope that makes you feel better, if I didn't have this knowledge as a nutritionist, I'd be like you. What the heck are they doing to my kid?! lol. ;)

    That's so cute, I was kinda like him I was really clingy to my parents as at the time I was the only child for a few years until my brother's came maybe it would be good in the afternoon try to get wolfy to play with some kids around his age like 3-4 and slowly increase it maybe that will help him get use to playing with other kids and getting use to it but I know with japan it must hard, you could ask if they offer any type of play dates after the nursery (do those still exist rigjt?)

    I remember taking my kids to their first day at nursery. They ran off and looked surprised to still see me a few minutes later. Maybe because they're twins we never had any problems with nursery or school, because they were never alone? Day one of school they looked over at their Dad 5 minutes after the bell rang and said "What are you still doing here?" At the gate their were parents having a wee cry. I did a victory dance, we got to the first school day and everyone had all their limbs. Victory!

    In my country (Hungary) nursery works similarly. Parents can't stay to see their children react to the new environment. I don't know about other countries though. Maybe we think a bit more like Japanese since we've kept numerous traditions and folk customs from the times of our Asian ancestors, such as taking your shoes off immediately when entering a house (just to mention the most tribe one).

    Hi, I'm a new Preschool teacher from Canada. Notice how Wolfie copied you two pointing towards the camera at the end? Children model after their peers. They learn from you and their environment. It's important that when you want to feed Wolfie; you two are also eating with him at the same time. You two can use utensils normally and Wolfie can just use his hands and fingers to feed himself (this also let's him practice his fine motor skills; learning to grasp things).Be prepared that he might throw or reject food; especially new foods he isn't familiar with. First, they touch then smell, then lick , then bite their food. Food exposure can take up to 15-20 times before they accept it. And when choosing items he wants; allow only two items. Do not let him play while eating; eat at the table and make sure he is sitting in a comfortable chair too. Also, give him warning when you are about to change his diaper. This will set him preparedness that he is going to be changed. Nosebleeds are normal; dry air can lead to nosebleeds. Hope this helps!

    • @Sequoia4132
      @Sequoia4132 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just out of curiosity, what is the avg age of preschool kids in Canada? I was actually somewhat surprised at how young the Japanese kids seem to start nursery school. I guess I'm out of touch, but I had thought that preschool usually started after kids were at least potty trained.

    Wolfy is just adjusting to his new environment but I think he will get used to it in no time. I guess he will be experiencing separation anxiety (sepanx) for the first few days/weeks.

    Aw. I wish Wolfy knew and could understand that he's an international TH-cam superstar, with lots of fans who love to hear his cute little voice and watch him be adorable with his toy trains. I wonder if there's maybe something about him being raised bilingual in all this, maybe he's expecting to hear more English at nursery than he does?

  • @archmetcalfe9663
    @archmetcalfe9663 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Maybe try getting some One on One play dates with some of the kids in the nursery or even with any other kids that you know to get him more sociable but its only the first week at a new place few days time he might be number 1 . As far as the bloody booger it could just be the type of heat in the school ,allergies does not have to be from a fall or a smack. I use to have massive nose bleeds as a child and as I grew up they went away. I am in my 40s now and have not had any more since elementary school. You are doing a great job giving wolfie lots of love and he's going to be a very smart and happy little boy .Best of luck with every thing guys!

    It's normal for only children to take the time to warm up to others. Basically in every new situation they are put in, they are observing other people and feeling out the different personalities. It may not seem like it, when he is standing by himself, but that is what he is doing. This is coming from an only child.

  • @jessicahawkins1421
    @jessicahawkins1421 ปีที่แล้ว

    Children don't tend to play co operativly with others until 3. As a nursery they should be reporting any kind of accidents the parents/carers well in the uk anyway. It's all about forming bonds with the nursery nurses and the child, and the child feeling safe and secure in their surroundings.

  • @lisapitts2011

    Looks like Wolfie just needs time to adjust to new experiences people and other kids does he get to spend time with other kids like cousins and other kids in a near by park close by that may help and to spend time a little while at the nursery where wolfie goes to and before you leave re assure him before you leave i;m sure he will adjust fine over time i have that issue too and when i was A teen it's an adjustment period =)

    i think Wolfy is lucky to have fun parents like you, and i think is like to be with you, you do many activity with him and give him 100% you attention..now is new school is more big, he need times for adaptation and to know is new teacher and friends and find where h's place to this new environnement! give you times and give him times for this new place and adaptation...is change nursery so he need times.I think you need to give him more individuel toys and games like puzzle for is age and peinted, drawing alone with small table and chair to learn play alone and have fun etc...
