Dallas Bartolini: Maybe a headache? My child did that the other day but I've changed her routine with daycare. She's been getting up crying and walking around. Don't try to make too much sense of it. Talk to your pediatrician cause maybe somethings going on like an ear infection.. Good luck!
Tana Dumoulin: Something similar to your story has happened to me before. Is your child tugging at the ears? It could be an ear infection.
Kenneth Blacker: that really sucks my son can't have RED DIE it sucks, so many things he can't have but you have it harder then me . I'd try for a small preschool and make sure they know the less kids there is the more focus on your son and less confusion. if you drive him make sure you check for a substitute and make sure they know as well . sit with the teachers and explain it to them . sit with the person who serves food and explain it to them and make sure its in there paper work as well they are the ones serving him . allot o! f preschools wont allow peanuts at all or peanut butter ask . make sure its on his paper work at school . make sure they all know what to do if he does get ahold of something and what to watch out for . every one even the kids in my sons first grade class knows about my sons allergy LOL . and on treat day he knows what he cant have . I'm crazy if it could really hurt my kid bad I may tape a note to his desk on his folder some where permanent that they can read to remind them that he is with my contact #'s and I say never hesitate to call and if his reactions are that bad tell them not to hesitate to call 911 if he accidentally gets some and stars swelling up or something . you are going to have to get use to it when he gos to school any way if you want the truth . just make sure you get a good teacher and school what ever you do.send lunch (if they eat it there) Give the teacher back up treats so when the other kids have treats your son will have some as well . GOOD ! LUCK...Show more
Heidi Creselious: it sounds like a nigh! t terror.. some children get them almost everynight. they seem to be up but are usually still asleep. i used to baby sit a little boy who had them, and he would stand in his room and scream at the top of his lungs, nothing would calm him down for about an hour!
Ramona Pago: My son and daughter go to the same preschool. At the beginning of the year, there were tons of flyers regarding my son's classmate and her severe allergies. We were given a list of snacks that we could provide for the children, and the teachers were all aware of what she could not have. Generally preschool is only a couple of hours a day. They usually clean th toys daily with alcohol - and you could tell the other parents not to give their chil peanut butter on school days. Nobody raised a fuss, it takes a village and I am sure that no one would want your child to get sick, but she has a right to be socialized before school, too....Show more
Sammy Tabatt: Couple of idea's.. sick,headace, tire! d,nightmares maybe even she might have nigh-terrors!
Jesse Pirieda: I'm careful to give him only soft foods because he choked on steak one of the last times. His favorite his mac & cheese, but he swallows all the noodles whole. I know he can chew because he'll do it occassionally, and will chew on his sleeves.
Emerita Sciandra: Someone said I might have turned into a big scary monster to him cuz I might have done something to him?? I've never done anything to him...never hit him or nothing...only raise my voice slightly when he goes to reach for something that he shouldn't...but i never do anything mean to him. And the same person suggested hallucinations? He was in his crib, started screaming like hell and crying. I picked him up and brought him to bed with me to try to calm him down and it didn't work. Even when he was completely awake and walking around (with direction), he would calm down and then start crying and screaming and throwing himself on the floor! again. Yes, this is the first time. And he just went to the doctor earl! ier that day with a clean bill of health. I'm not sure what the hell happened. he's playing and wide awake now...i'm going to try again to put him back to bed...Show more
Mayola Sylva: Its sounds like he is having a night terror. When a child has one of these they have no idea what is going on because they are not completely awake. The best thing to do is just lead him quietly back to bed. The more you try to stimulate him by talking with him or touching him it can make it worse. I would talk to his pediatrician about it and get some tips on how you can deal with this.
Linwood Mccory: Both answers already given are great. When entering into any type of dacare or school, filling out the medical card is a must. Care facilities that I have been to are very accomodating to food and drug allergies, because they are very common. Schools as well, do the medical card and the nurse will have it and the teacher will also be advised. ALot of places are cutting out ! peanut products all together due to so many with peanut allergies.
Roxane Leathers: Be very careful and make sure that the school understands the severity. I sent my son to preschool, he is allergic to dairy... not just lactose intolerant, seriously allergic to dairy and the school had no clue. They would let him eat cheese and other things because he told them that we let him have it. The problem was that we would buy soy products and he knew this. I always made sure that he had a substitute snack and drink because I never knew what would be for snack, and often that did not even help. Luckily his allergy is not fatal. I would get something in writing from the doctor as well as a list of foods that your child cannot have and what should be done if something is accidentally ingested. Good Luck. I know it can be scary, but if you have teachers that understand and are willing to work with you, it will be a good experience for your child....Show more
Cortez! Badolato: Ahh. I live in Nashville (: I don't use it for my own child ! but my friend has a child that goes to the Vanderbuild Pre-School. She loves it.The rest of my friends mostly send their children to the Brook Hollow Baptist Church Pre-SchoolNeither of these are on the South side of Nashville though, so it may be out of your way.Christ Church, has an indoor playground we go to every week.. has a Pre-School. I've never spoken to anyone there, we just go to play, but I have peeked in all the rooms and they look really cute and well rounded.http://www.christchurchnashville.org/playground.ht...That's the website for the church.. I don't know much about this situation as my son stays home.. I wish you the best!BTW - Everyone says that Brentwood schools were ranked the best in the Nation so I would look there before Nashville....Show more
Wilburn Denice: There aren't preschools specifically for kids with food allergies, but that doesn't mean he can't go.There was a little boy in my son's class who had a severe peanut allergy, and they put ! a sign up at the door asking that we not bring in products with peanuts. Even for holiday parties, almost all the parents asked what would and would not be okay, so he was able to participate. The school didn't prepare food that would trigger an allergic reaction. Keep in mind how often the kids will wash their hands. That alone would drastically reduce the chance he'd pick up peanut residue on toys. If you're concerned they're coming in after having peanut butter toast, ask that the teacher have them wash hands upon arrival. Because your son is allergic to eggs and dairy products as well, you may need or want to pack his snacks and lunches. Whenever he starts school or is away from you, your son needs to be able to tell people what he is allergic to, and ask if the food put in front of him contains those ingredients. Inform the school about his severe allergies, provide his pediatrician's or allergist's phone numbers, and an epi pen just in case. If you first look i! nto a preschool that won't make allowances or take serious steps to ens! ure your son's safety, find another one. I think most of them will....Show more
Mahalia Brindle: He probably had a nightmare you did something to him, e.g. you turned into a big scary monster (trust me, young children's dreams are very strange), and he can't tell the difference between his dream and reality. Turn all the lights on in your house, which will calm him down, and maybe turn on some music he likes, because silence is scary for two year olds. Don't worry, he'll probably get over it. If he doesn't soon (45 minutes really is a long time, I don't want to scare you, but it is), he's most likely having hallucinations, and you will need to take him to hospital for that. Hope it's the first one!!Katie...Show more
Claire Billegas: Uncontrollable Crying Toddler
Tana Dumoulin: I would wait another year before attempting preschool.A great resource:http://www.kidswithfoodallergies.org
Mayola Sylva: All very good ideas thus far. When my son was 3 and ! in headstart, I made a VERY brightly colored tags, had them laminated, and pinned them to his shirt every morning. You could also put them on a lanyard to put around his neck. Make sure that the teacher has an epi pen, if it's that severe of an allergy. I like the sign on the door idea and the numerous notes home to other parents. I do suggest that you wait another year to put your precious child into school, if possible.Good luck...Show more
Theresia Fashaw: A lot of preschools have adapted their menus to exclude peanut products and products that are manufactured in factories that use peanuts.If it were me, I would probably have several t shirts printed up with a food allergy alert. I know this doesn't sound to appealing but if your son's allergies are that severe, then you might want to consider it.I used to work in preschools and there is no way I would trust the judgment and education of the staff to protect him....Show more
Jed Mutone: My son has a mild ! peanut allergy but there was one kid in his preschool class that was an! aphalactic and the school requested that if you had given your kids dairy, eggs or peanuts at breakfast time, that you thoroughly wash their hands and face before bringing them to school. Every school in Australia that I know of, is peanut free. NO-ONE is allowed to take peanut butter sandwiches etc to school at all and I think it could possibly be a worldwide thing these days. Ring the school that you are going to be sending him to and find out their policies on the subject. Every year our school sends out an explainitory note at the beginning of the year to remind people what food allergies can do to kids with them and also to remind people of what not to send your kids to school with in their lunch boxes. And throughout the year they do write ups in the school newsletter to remind people all over again. My son also has no trouble telling people what he can and can't eat but it really helps to know that if no one takes peanut products, he won't be in any danger.Good! luck....Show more
Kris Otuafi: I am trying to find an accredited preschool for my child. Personal experience with these schools would be greatly appreciated! Tuition is not an issue.
Kirk Coolbeth: most pre schools and schools don't allow any foods in school now, but the best thing to do is speak to the schools , you'll probably find them really helpful , and if you are making his food snacks you can make sure he just has them, does he have to have any meds if he does ingest something he shouldn't,but i would say have a chat to your local support group,doctor and school. take care.
Bethanie Menden: From your description I would also tip on night terror (pavor nocturnus)...horrible thing to see but it will pass. Keep the room dark and quiet and stay there with your kid until they fall asleep or wake up.Alternately, could be headache or earache...
Theresia Fashaw: see a counselor for your irrational thoughts, take a CPR class, follow up with the denti! st, and feed the child the same food as the rest of the family in small! er portions.
Cassondra Vanholland: My 2 year old woke up screaming and crying uncontrollably. He's never quite woken up this way. I tried to lay down with him and tell him everything was alright and just stroke his hair but he kept pushing me away and brushing me off. He didn't want to be touched. So i let him get up and walk around for a little while and he just threw himself on the floor and is still crying and screaming and is now fully awake. I turned on the tv to his cartoon dvd and he wants nothing to do with it. Doesn't want his sippy cup or a snack...i'm not sure what to do or what happened. I suspected a nightmare or something, but it's going on 45 minutes of this. I thought maybe he had a charlie horse in his leg (i get them)...so i flexed his leg and let him walk around and he has no signs of one anyway cuz he's not holding his legs and they're working fine. I'm not sure what else to do or what is happening. he wants no cuddling or anything, and he's not on! e to throw tantrums like this.. ...Show more
Tricia Dossous: i use to wk in a preschool and we had a little boy with allergies as severe, if not worse. My son also has food allergies and we had to pull him out of preschool , my toddler is allergic to diary wheat peanuts and gluten.Any way when we looked after the little boy we didn't have peanuts in or at our centre, but we also provided the food at the centre. So may be look at centres that provide meals, the cooks will be able to wk around allergies. You must reinterate how important his allergies are, get a letter from your doctor explaining the allergy and treatments incase of an emergency. e.g. epi-pen. and sit with the centres director and speak to them about your childs issues and ask them to organise a room meeting with staff who will be in the room with your child, so you can explain your childs allergies to all staff involved in your childs care, Hope this helps....Show more
