So impressed with those of you doing this with kids! It was difficult without... I can’t even imagine! Get it girl!!! 🙌🏼

I’m always impressed you’re vlogging so much, working out, and parenting/spousing during residency. #goals :)

I take it nobody at Wyatt’s daycare studied Early Childhood Education. Get him out of there as soon as possible. Don’t cry. You are an awesome mommy.

You have every right to be stressed and worried. It’s okay to cry and be frustrated. You’re trusting that you’re sending him to an institution to learn and grow. When the teacher said he was aggrevating another child, she should have told you in the voicemail how she handled it. The fact that you had to talk to the person in charge makes me feel uneasy. The teacher should have kept it professional and said “Wyatt aggravated another child however we are taking so and so actions to ensure that this other child learns it is not okay to use physical harm to express emotions. In regard to Wyatt we are taking actions to ensure he knows how to ask for toys and wait his turn”... if you received anything other than that in the voicemail, you have every right to be concerned and stressed. Talk to the daycare provider and try to figure out how she is with the children and whether or not she knows what she’s doing when it comes to teaching children basic communication skills. I’m a 19 year old college student and I know the limitations Wyatt and other children his age have when it comes to communication but at the same time I know that children need to learn. I would keep Wyatt at the same daycare only because he needs to learn how to face problems rather than move away from them. He may have forgotten about the scratch and the physical harm he received from the other student. Each time he gets into a conflict with another student it teaches him how to communicate. Let him grow stronger from that but check into this teacher who said Wyatt was at fault. No child is ever at fault. If she said “Wyatt is to blame” or “Wyatt is at fault” then she does not know how to handle the situation and you should make that aware.

I empathize with you about daycare...it is very hard to have children daycare, especially the first. My son has Autism (he is 21 years old now) and when he first went to daycare I was always concerned about his environment and reports. With that said, there was also a learning curve for me as a mom that my child was interacting with other children and may or may not be the instigator in any incident they have. Kids at this age, as you know, are just learning how to adjust to going from being the center of their parent's world to sharing a slot of time with other children in a social/educational setting. Regarding the scratches, etc. that is pretty typical, but good to keep your eye on it. Being in good communication with the daycare provider is always helpful as well. Wishing you peace and God's blessings in your journey with this new transition in parenting.

Thank you everyone for your prayers, support, and words of encouragement ❤️

Wyatt is such a sweet baby. I really can’t see him aggravating anyone. I just don’t believe it. He’s such a little blessing. Hope you guys work something out soon.

Seven times in 3 months not acceptable. Glad you're changing day cares.

I'm sorry that you're dealing with this. We are here for you. Thank you for sharing with us. Sending all the love and hugs towards you and your family!

It's so amazing to see how you manage to be a mother and a doctor! Thank you for being such an inspiration💗

Love you Jenny, I think you are a kick ass mom and such an inspiration. Things will get better 💞💞

Jenny hope everything gets better 🤗 with you’re baby I love how transparent you are with life..

Wyatt is such a sweetie! I love his happy little grin as he ducks under daddy's knee. I hope things get better soon!

Daycare is hard. My son was bitten and scratched multiple times at his old daycare (teachers said he was attacked completely unprovoked, but they should have watched the kids more closely) and we finally switched daycares. He's been fine since then. Hope you guys can find a good childcare service for Wyatt soon too.

I’m so sorry y’all are going through this difficulty with Wyatt and the daycare. I hope that y’all can find somewhere or that things will change where he can be supported and grow and y’all can feel good about the environment he’s around. Prayers! Thanks for your vulnerability and letting us encourage you!

Love your channel girlie😍

Hi Jenny... I always feel sooo good after watching your videos. Thank you so much for inspiring me🙌.

Everything is going to be ok Jenny, Wyatt is blessed to have you guys

Love you.Keep up the good work💕

Hi sister Jenny, how are you doing on this nice day? Thanks for sharing from your heart in this excellent video, much appreciated. I'm sending you good healing energy for this issue to be resolved. Congratulations on 81K subs, way to go Jenny! Thank you for taking us along to be a part of your amazing journey. Have a very nice and peaceful day my friend, fist bump : )

Sorry about the day care incident. Felt bad when you cried. It is pure love. Wyatt is lucky baby and you are great mother. Stay blessed.

It’s always emotional when it comes to your baby. My grandson was in a co op type of a nursery school and as a little toddler my grandson was very chill and passive. This little boy not only bit him but made him bleed! My daughter was there at the time. She was so angry but she had to get a grip to tell this child’s mom what happened. That child was acting out due to a crazy household. My daughter quit the co op due to this child who bit. When you feel something’s wrong you are right. I know this happened a while ago but I hope you have a better experience by solving that particular issue or you found a better nursery school.

Im so sorry Jenny. We are mothers just want our kids to be safe and happy and its so upsetting to worry about his safety. Thank you for sharing your feelings. As a mother, I completely support you.

You are a good mother Jenny!

Poor Wyatt & his swollen eye, I hope everything with daycare gets better.. sending love💖

Hi jenny ...i think what you feel about your son is so normal ,it's mom's instincts , daycare is hard the most of time and it stressed u out ....try to make them more careful at least get eye on him more closely...and i think u're a great mom as a doctor ...keep going forward .

Its so sad that some people think that kids, Specially toddlers must behave like adults, they are kids, they are babies, they are exploring... it so sad that the word aggravating comes in this kinds of situation! It’s up to us adults to teach, to nurture good behaving skills, and by your videos you and your husband are doing everything a great parents do!! But if you fear that your baby will not be in a good place where he can feel safe, taking care and taught with love, think about it... he’s such a precious baby! He does everything a normal with happy parents do! I admire you on how you’re become what you are, being a blogger and also taking care of your marriage and family! Keep on!

I am a mom and i went through the same with my son. My son is not an abusive child and he is very sensitive. I recommend you to try to find another place for him. He might not like the place and can’t handle to express his feelings

sorry about that incident!! It's tough! no need to apologize! You're literally leaving your only child in the hands of strangers. That's hard!! I don't have kids but I see how that can be difficult! Hope you find a solution that gives you and your family peace!

Please share as much as you can about those exercises with Wyatt ❤️ i am interesting in learning more

You're doing a great job and this little guy is obviously happy and healthy. Things will work out. :)

Totally understand how that's upsetting! You and Stan will do the best thing for Wyatt though

I used to suffer from his same allergies. Both eyes used to get like that and it was very annoying. Hope he gets better soon. 💕

I love how Wyatt keeps eye contact with you as he gets onto his toy on the table when you keep telling him not to

I’m so sorry

Oh my goodness. I am so so sorry to hear what you are going through with Wyatt's daycare!! I have a family friend who also sent their 2 year old child to daycare and he came back with injuries and the people there had no idea what had happened. It's a tough situation to be in, I would advise asking people through word of mouth for recommendations of new places or even searching on Yelp or other review websites. I'm only a pre med and have no experience with children that young, so I'm not sure what else to recommend unfortunately but I wish you the best in finding something that works out! I wish I could help you, I live all the way across the country from you though. Starting by finding a new place and doing research ahead of time may help!! I also am Asian and I understand the parenting mentality is very hands on, lots of supervision, wanting to care for the child yourself to ensure the best quality of care, and wanting the child to avoid getting hurt or making mistakes. I was raised that way, and it is totally understandable that you're feeling frustrated in this situation. I am sure everything will work out, hope for the best and stay positive!!

That’s a tough one... As you said, “they said everything they are supposed to say about the way they handled the situation”. I feel like occasional incidents like that are pretty normal, however I would get concerned if something like that kept happening over and over again. The caregivers at daycare can’t shield the children from every scratch, but it should definitely not be a regular thing, because to me it just sounds like they systematically failed to prevent it. Your concern is completely legitimate. It must be so hard to let your child explore the world without you being by his side at all times. I guess it’s just a natural part of parenting to accept that there will be scratches, bruises, and more to come as your baby gets older, and some of it you just won’t be able to prevent. What’s for sure though is that you are a wonderful mom and you will always do everything in your power (!) to protect him. Your unconditional love and brilliant mind (c’mon, you are a doctor!) will always guide in the right direction :) P. S. I am very impressed with Wyatt eating these spicy Cheetos... my nephew would cry if he ate something spicy on accident when he was your sons age, haha.

I had issues like that when my kids were young and it is hard. But I found the somewhere else to go. It will be ok.

I also just was wondering, since you did your psych rotation, if you could please talk about secondary trauma/compassion fatigue in one of your videos. I love to hear your perspectives on things because it's unique, refreshing, and you're very intelligent! I am just a pre med so I haven't reached the point where I'm taking care of patients yet but I am very susceptible to feeling things deeply especially hearing about someone's traumatizing experiences (I'm sure almost everyone in medicine is the same way to some extent because it's a compassionate and empathetic cohort of people) but I hope to be as prepared as I can before I reach that point and would love to hear your advice :)

Yeeeey~ coffee timee👯😁

I understand your frustration. If the two kids obviously dont get along, then staff should have made sure they were not around each other. I know some things cant be avoided, but this should not have happened a second time, IMO

I know what you're going through. When I was a Third grader. One of my classmate hit me in the forehead three times hard (because I took her meal/I know I was stupid /it was my fault too)and then i started crying but just held it in and the teacher didn't know about it because as a little kid I wasn't talkative and didn't know how to explain myself to anyone. My parent never knew about it.

Of course you are emotional about Wyatt's daycare! You have every right to be! Saying all the right answers is not good enough and as a parent you have every right to question what's going on there. I know you will figure this out. It's stressful, I know, to leave your baby, it's stressful to work and learn and plan the future, so it's okay to cry. There's no excuse for biting or scratching....... I hope there is another daycare you can try. It's so hard, Jenny, but you guys will figure it out. I'll pray tonight...I'll be praying all week for you. You're a good mom, just remember that. You are a good mom, and Wyatt is a sweetheart. He is absolutely adorable and I love seeing him, hearing him laugh...these are memories that you will keep forever in your heart. Thank you for sharing part of your life....I also learned a lot regarding psychology and almost pinpointed a few people I know!! hmmmmmmmmm......lol!! Love you so much, Jenny. PS my "baby" is 40. I can't believe it! xxoo

I went through similar thing with my 5 year old at school he has speech issues. That always seem to have an excuse and blame him. Im sorry ur going through this. And for the bipolar its good ur studying that. My husband has bipolar disorder its soooo tough on our marriage sometimes.

WYATT IS GROWING UP SO QUICK

Yes. Disenroll him. Find a place that will be a great pl for him and give you peace of mind. He deserves the best. Daycare is tough. I've had situations where my daughter would have horrible diaper rash at end of day. Praying for you..

Sorry to hear you are going through such a rough patch. I do agree with others and think you should look around for other childcare possibilities. Is his current school understaffed? Is his new teacher not suited to work with his age group? ( You said he loved and had no problems with his previous teacher). Is he there for too long of a time? Would it be possible to have him go to daycare on a part time basis and also have a babysitter? Maybe he would get more individual attention that way ? It is very hard when they are too young to tell you what is going on. Good luck, you guys are great parents.

I understand your emotion as a working mum the hardest part is to leave your child in the care of someone else

What do you think of psychiatry residency? What’s the work-lifestyle balance like?

Baby Wyatt, he deserves only the best! You got this Mama! We’re thinking about you. Give us an update.

Hey Jenny, how's residency taking you?!

Whats the worst sepeciality you have rotated in FM and why?

You give me so much about going into medical school. I have heard that some ppl hire personal assistants what do you think???To help them out with organising their lives better.Not during medical school but after finishing their medical training altogether?

I would not be okay with that multiple times. Our baby is the only baby our babysitter watches. Our daughter goes to church daycare, and we have a million friends with babies so she gets socialization. I'm so sorry that happened. Go with your mommy intuition. ♥️

I didn't actually get a notification for last week's vlog (going to watch it now) ... That aside has Wyatt had a growth spurt? Thanks for letting us see what is like to be a Doctor/parent/wife/just generally awesome human 😊

Do you do omt during your residency? Also are you afriad of having a hard time finding a job as a fm doc with the influx of Np's and Pa's? Bc hospitals are expected to hire less and less fam docs. I love the concept of family medicine but I'm curious what your thoughts are. And Again, I love your videos! I know I'm always asking so much. I just would like to choose whether or not I want to do the med school route next year so every question answered helps give me insight.

As a person who just switched her major from Elementary Education to Nursing. I that is a stupid daycare. Please switch his daycare. Love your blogging. ❤️❤️ #bigfan

Ugh I’m so angry 😤. Look at his face. Like that’s unacceptable. I hope you are okay. This must be very difficult to put up with when everything should be safe and ok for Wyatt. I love you. Keep pushing everything is going to be ok.

I have a question your a Dr so I will ask. I used to work all morning from either 8am to 2 or 9 to 2pm and I was always fine but I recently in the last 3 months started working a lot of 1pm to 8pm shifts at my job as a cook. Well today which is Saturday. I worked 7am to 1pm. I don't feel right I get nausea and sometimes a headache. I don't puke just sometimes gag. What could be causing this? It only happens when I have to work early shifts now. Is there something I can do to prevent it other then get enough sleep I get a lot of that. Please let me know what you think I should do or try. Plus I hope you feel better soon. I think I might be catching a cold too.

I am so sorry about wyatt Jenny. I cant imagine, this is why I am scared about putting my son into school. How are you feeling now, do you think you will end up switching schools?

First to view and first to comment and like.

*hugs* Have you had a chance to talk to any of the other parents to see how they feel about the daycare? Maybe it might be good too to try to find some sort of play group he can do, even just once a week or so, like a mommy & me type meetup or something like that, to see how he interacts with kids and how kids interact with him vs daycare. I'm glad your rotation went well though! I thought it was cool that you felt like you learned a lot about yourself through the rotation and the stories. And I'm definitely trying out that yoga channel, seems like exactly what I need!

Ahh I totally understand about Wyatt. It'd be nice to hear if the daycare provider had implemented disciple to teach Wyatt to ask for permission and made sure the little girl knows it is definitely not okay to scratch someone whatever the reason. Let them know they should not do it again and implement a "timeout" if either one of them behave badly again. My one year old knows I make him sit tight when he's in trouble and he's learning to get into little baby fights with my two year old so kids do have their own little typical altercations (they've pushed, pulled each other's hair, slapped each other, and of course laugh with each other). But it's definitely not an excuse for the teacher in the room to shift the blame on Wyatt when she's the responsible adult in the room to create a space of healthy learning and nurturing discipline. Kids are never too young for a good dose of discipline. I hop that you'll find a good place with healthy environment for Wyatt to grow. And really appreciate how vulnerable you've allowed yourself for us. You're doing great! "No woman, No cry!"" ^__^

Quite curious about when is your birthday😃

I have a weird symptom - when ever I see paintings of people I feel like their eyes follow me wherever I go and beyond a point I see them walk out of the painting towards me and that scares me a lot. This happens with statues of humans , I feel like statue turns its head towards me. What is wrong with me?

poor baby!!! yes get him out so he happier

Being partly Asian, Wyatt's got a thing for spicy food.....so cute ♥️

Do you think you may want to switch to being a psychiatrist, you seem really interested, and the hours seem fantastic.

Twice the teacher responsible for the incidents 👀

u'll never get the truth from daycare workers, teachers etc without strategic prodding; ur kid most likely is just a number to them; most do meet professional standards, but like doctors some are doing the job and are excellent, while some are dialling it in. Also favouritism happens in all situations. But it COULD b a gd place, find out how long the scratcher girl has been in the daycare centre. Maybe it's not his former carer leaving but a new girl entering, or he's been put with a different grp of kids. Keep talking to them, explain ur fears to them, tell them how worried you are and give them a chance to help you out. If they don't then leave. But he's not in danger, he's just adjusting to new environment. #noperfectdaycare #youaretryingyourbest

I have 3 tiny babies all 3yrs old and under...but can i please ask Why do people trust daycare/complete strangers to care for tiny children and then keep sending them there. Jus why. Poor wyatt please be ok. My heart hurts to see him like this he so cute and tiny.

God is saying to you Today, "I am sending great change into your life. I have heard your prayers. I know your ❤ and I know you want better. I am sending better and greater your way. You have endured much in your life. People have walked away from you... Judging you. But, it only matters what I say you are. Stay on the path. I didn't create you to be perfect. I created you to be Faithful."

The same method does not work for every child.

I don't know much about kids, but it seriously sounds like they are tolerating abusive behavior from the kids. Sure, Wyatt stole the girl's toy, but she should not scratch him!! They should be teaching HER healthy ways to handle situations like this from early on! She is going to grow up to be crazy lol! I would definitely find a new day care if its possible!

I completely get why you're so upset- your baby is getting hurt! My son's only had four incidents during their time in childcare thankfully. The carers identified the personality clash and worked to separate them and then worked with each child to gain skills to help them get on better. I was very lucky with childcare and even though my children are 13 and 11 now it's not unusual for their former nursery nurses to message me and check how they are. This behaviour is not ok and you're acting like every other mother whose child is being hurt so please stop feeling guilty for that. Perhaps arrange a meeting with management and the nurses involved. Keep going my lovely, it's all sent to try us. X

As someone with years of daycare experience, I can tell you that even if the daycare provider says all of the "right" things and actually follows through with them, it won't change the situation. Kids Wyatt's age just don't have self control. It's not Wyatt's fault nor the kid that is scratching him. A better question is what is the child to provider ratio since the provider should insert themselves in that situation before it escalates- especially since it has escalated so many times before.

Are you sure he was smoking just weed? 😂

Aweeee he so cute eating that hot Cheetos 😍😘😘😘 u need a babysitter sis???? Let me know I'll fly out & become a nanny anytime.
