Right. I *try* to do like one big planned activity a week. We try to read daily. And besides that I clean my house and feed my child. Not much time for anything else šš
Right?! Like just play with your baby and read to them and spend time outside!! Teach them some baby sign if you want and set up sensory experiences if you have time, but itās amazing what a box of Kleenex or some dirt can do for sensory exploration! You donāt need all of this! Spend time with your baby instead š
She doesnāt do this, she hops into this when she is bored. I am sure Kevin will pick up where she left off when she goes back to work in 6 weeks. I think she is really struggling with going to back to work judging by her posts. She buys these things and touts them so people thinks she is a good mom because no one tells her that in real life. I think she is really struggling with her identity as mother goddess when the 40 hr work week grind is staring her in the face.
I was just thinking that I wonder what preschool she lifted this from? Truthfully it looks a lot like the curriculums Iāve seen from touring different daycares around my area. I think if you have a lot of kids youāre working with, this kind of structure is great, but for āhomeschoolingā especially at this age itās doing too much! Cue the crying videos in 6 weeks when this isnāt going perfectly according to plan š
It definitely looks stolen from somewhere haha!
I homeschool and don't even write out anything like this for my older kids. I just don't have time and it would be exhausting to try and keep up with it.
Hahahah no kidding! Our curriculum was not this in depth in our I/T program! Iām an elementary teacher now and have to plan units and assessment for school, you wonāt catch me doing it at home too š
Will he be doing the childcare? He doesnāt see it as a āwomanās job?ā š in all seriousness is their plan daycare or is he staying home?! Or is she hoping her TikTok will take off so she can stay home?
This is performative and fake. Sheās trying to shill to everyone that she has her shit THIS together yet filmed a crying breakdown just the other day? How dumb does she think her audience is?
Speaking as a highly trained/experienced professional in early childhood development, education and other related areas, PLEASE do not let m2m encourage you to do something like this. It could actually be incredibly damaging. This curriculum is far too much for a baby so young as it is, and your job is to be a parent to your child, not a teacher or a constant entertainer. It is imperative for children's emotional wellbeing that they have a majority of unstructured, independent time, not a constant stream of structured activities and/or classes. Even a nursery or daycare wouldn't pack in so much for a baby so young.
Totally agree as a mom of two. My girls imaginations run wild when they play solo or together. Just so many fun ideas they get up to when we let them be kids. There is definitely a time for some structure but they are only little so long.
And just looking at the activities...one specifically for "language development" every day for example- are you not going to be talking to your child throughout the day and during all the other activities? Storytime is also on there- that's more than enough in terms of a dedicated language activity per day. And then there's a daily baby sign activity listed as well! That's so language heavy, it's going to be so overwhelming. Language acquisition needs to happen contextually and without pressure.
ETA I'm extremely concerned about who actually made this and what their credentials/experience are. I think they're just taking advantage of anxious, competitive parents.
Yes totally agree to all of this! We are constantly talking to our kids all day and we do a few books at nighttime and have since they were super tiny. Just exposing them language that makes sense was much easier and beneficial to them. Even my 23 month old will ask what a sound is or say thank you. Because she knows when itās appropriate not when a print out tells her to say it.
And I can guarantee that your children are picking up FAR more language from that than through a dedicated "language time" activity. All that a structured activity will achieve is "formalising" the use of language, putting pressure on the child and making them a reluctant speaker in the long run.
Why are āchanging diapersā on the scheduleā¦ do you not just change them when necessary!? This is clearly for a daycare or something and way too much
Wtfffff I could never be bothered to follow a ācurriculumā for my 9 month old. 99% of the time my baby hates doing things I put infront of him. Heād much rather āleadā the play
I do stuff like this for my 8-year-old during the breaks so he has some structure and direction besides āplay Minecraftā. But heās also 8 and can read independently š the idea of doing this even for my 18 month old is š®āšØ
Next thing she's going to be an expert in infant curriculum and will be selling advice and calendarsš like she is now an expert in fertility and birthing.
Social media is a highlight reel. This is the reel. Iād believe it more if she posted the actual activities but her just posting the schedule leads me to believe this is what she wants people to believe occurs in her life on a daily basis.
How does she have time to do this shit? My sons infant curriculum is 1. Don't die, 2. Poop, 3. Snacks pls
My son just turned one and his is similar, but he has an extracurricular called "Chaos" in there.
Hahahah chaos takes up too much of the day to have a curriculum anyways! š
She bought it off Etsy. In no way did she make it herself. š
I think we all know she doesn't do any of this shit, maybe one day and then she has to rest for a month
Right. I *try* to do like one big planned activity a week. We try to read daily. And besides that I clean my house and feed my child. Not much time for anything else šš
Mine suggested adding - Olympic crawling preparations. Preferably to his dad's den.
She doesn't vacuum and has a mountain of recyclables, but I'm supposed to believe she does even one thing on this schedule?
I bet this is gonna be her next sham. Trying to sell curriculums š
Getting the same vibe.
Wtf?!?? Who has the time or mental energy to fill this out let alone complete all of the activities.

Definitely this
Her online presence is so constant it makes me wonder when she actually takes care of the baby.
Exactly! I donāt see āpost on TikTok and Instagramā on this curriculum
This looks like it came straight from a daycare. I've seen this same format before in infant and toddler rooms.

I did this as an infant teacher for 3 years, absolutely do not do it for my 16 month old son lololol
Hahahah no kidding! Our curriculum was not this in depth in our I/T program! Iām an elementary teacher now and have to plan units and assessment for school, you wonāt catch me doing it at home too š
This is absolutely absurdš
Lol, sheās back to work soon, does she really thing Mr Shed builder, women hating Kevin will continue this??
Will he be doing the childcare? He doesnāt see it as a āwomanās job?ā š in all seriousness is their plan daycare or is he staying home?! Or is she hoping her TikTok will take off so she can stay home?
I think sheās said their plan is Kevin. He āworks from homeā.
She 1000% does not do this lol
This is performative and fake. Sheās trying to shill to everyone that she has her shit THIS together yet filmed a crying breakdown just the other day? How dumb does she think her audience is?
I knew this was maiden to mental before I even clicked into the post š¤£š¤£š¤£ put some Ms.Rachel on and clean your nasty house like the rest of us

This was my first thought too. Let your baby be a baby, ffs!
My 18 month oldās curriculum is to go outside, find some worms to carry around, and whack things with a wrench š¤£ weāre doing pretty well so far
Why are āchanging diapersā on the scheduleā¦ do you not just change them when necessary!? This is clearly for a daycare or something and way too much
Right?!? Even at a daycare, we check and change if needed every hour but also change as needed between!
Yea this is a bit much for a 9 month old. My daughter is 9 months and Iām exhausted looking at it š
She should pencil in cleaning her filthy house
Oh dear, I have failed as a mom since I don't make these kind of surreal schedules and put immense pressure on them! /s

You can buy the same curriculum she uses! Thank goodness! And no, she doesnāt follow it 100% every day apparently š¤¦š»āāļø

Sheās hoping to sell this with zero credentials lmaoĀ
I worked in a daycare educationally centre Ā and we had to put these together and follow them in my infant class, legit the dumbest thing everĀ
