[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daycare here- that does not sound condescending to me. She’s 3 and it really is a learning process. Some kids take longer than others but it’s not a race or competition. You seem to still be worried about it which is why you took it as condescending. I don’t think your helicopter mom but as a parent we all have little things we are worried about and that is normal.[/quote] Daycare, I think you are part of the problem. This isn't about OP's worry. Why can't they just give her an answer, which in this case, is "no." Why can't they tell her that her kid's grip is within the normal range, and there's no need to intervene? Of course it's not a race or a competition. Of course everything is a learning process. Did you really think that needed to be said? There are developmental norms (and interventions for kids who fall outside them), and you - as a daycare teacher - should stand ready to answer parents' questions about those norms. [/quote]
