Slache Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Baby seep: I attempted to create a routine of activity, eating and sleep. I elongate the activity during the day so that they are tired at night. In the beginning I always have to hold them at night to "play" because they cannot be active enough during the day to sleep through the night.

Junie Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 My babies did not sleep well. Eventually I did let ds20 "cry it out". I set a time limit of 30 minutes. If he was still crying after 30 minutes, I would go get him. I cannot tell you how many times he cried for 28 or 29 minutes. I guess he was testing me... over and over and over again. Dd18 used to stay up until 4 a.m. We could not let her cry it out because she shared a room with ds20. And I would rather deal with one happily awake baby then one unhappy baby and one unhappy toddler. Dd16 would only sleep if you put her in the kitchen with the lights off and the fan on. After she was solidly asleep we could move her to her crib. And I really don't even remember the rest... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Wow, how did I wind up three pages behind? Had our first Teen Club meeting tonight. It went well. The kids didn't talk much but that's expected the first time they ever meet. They seemed to have fun. Now I"m just relaxing a bit before going to bed. I'm meeting dd in the morning, then was going to meet someone to kayak at the lake but it's supposed to rain and thunderstorm in the morning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my guardian angel must be contractually obligated to zap me every time I shoot my mouth off. Lego Lass got a 70% on her first Geometry test and dh is threatening to quit being the math teacher if she doesn't pull her socks up. 😱😭💩😵 (((Spuds))) Do you want input or just commiseration? Has she ever had to study for a math test before? Geometry is different (imho) because of the need to remember so many things besides just how to solve something. And I have one who I have witnessed first hand just does not test as well as she works under normal homework conditions. FWIW, my kids' (outsourced) math teacher lets them have a page of notes for tests - primarily for the purpose of teaching them how to study. Making the page of notes is similar to studying because they go back through their class notes to make the page. If none of that is helpful, feel free to disregard and take the chocolate anyway. 🍫 🍫 💓 💓 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 One connection regarding sleep training that I did make was that I would rather lie in bed, so hungry that I can't sleep, than get up and make myself food. It's not a lazy thing. I will even realize I'm not sleeping, get up to do housework until I'm so tired I'll fall asleep anyway, but I won't make myself food. It's almost like the thought is painful. This has got to be tied to some form of abuse, but I believe it's related to sleep training. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Morning. I don't remember what worked to get my kids to sleep. I think I was mostly too sleep deprived to remember. On the Geometry test, if it was the first one, 70 isn't bad. It's not uncommon to think you got it only to find out no, you don't got it. Part of learning how much you need to study and when. Learning experience. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Good Morning!!!!! COFFEE!!~D Friday Eve!!! School and work!!!! My kids have all been decent sleepers. Regarding “sleep training”.... I’m not really for it, but sometimes you have no choice. When we first got the little girls, Baby wouldn’t sleep at night. She was 10 months old and She just wouldn’t. We tried everything, we’d rock her to sleep.... she’d wake up and cry when we put her down, DH and I would take turns with her on the couch in the living room and she’d just sit there or lay there and play and play for hours while DH or I would doze off. Finally, we did just let her “cry it out” because we were exhausted and had tried everything else. She seems none the worse for wear. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
