35 hours in school vs. in daycare
| Fri, 02-06-2009 - 2:03pm |
I was trying to think why I've been having such a hard time with the idea of going to work full-time in the fall and yet I don't have any problem with my kids going to school for the same amount of time when they are school age. I know that we've asked the question a lot "Why is it okay to put them in school for 35 hours but not in daycare for 35 hours?"
My toddler doesn't understand WHY Mommy is gone. He doesn't appreciate the difference between Mommy going to work and Mommy just disappearing all day. A 5-year old does. I think that until they are old enough to truly understand the purpose and necessity of the separation, those 35 hours are going to be experienced very differently.

I think that's the modern philosophy, but I think it's contrary to the way our species evolved.
don't sell yourself short.
there are a lot of places that will take your kids if you chose to teach f/t.
I would keep it pretty simple....something like, you go to school here and I go to school there, after my school I will pick you up from your school and I would say it every time at pickup/dropoff....
