Volunteering When You Have Other Children - Blog Entry

I wouldn't bring younger children on field trips, I agree with that. There is just too much going on with a field trip.

But assuming that all siblings are cranky in a classroom isn't fair either. Toddlers are unpredictable of course, but a well-rested, well-fed toddler (or preschooler) can be a delight. At this age, they so much want to please everyone. It isn't that difficult to watch a school presentation with a sibling on your lap.

With a spouse who works out of the house during the day, it is impossible to volunteer during the day without the kids. Also, usually these class events aren't about being with your child but the entire class, handing out snacks, organizing a game, etc. My two little ones are usually very helpful. When they were allowed last year, they helped quite a bit.

The reasons I have heard include that they aren't covered by the school's insurance, they are a distraction to the classroom or you can't volunteer properly if you are watching your kids.

Are you really allergic to pine trees? Or is it the mold that can grow on them? I've heard of "hypoallergenic" trees that are grown to be mold free.
