Um... I feel your pain. I really didn't know so much frustration could fit into so small a person before I met DS. I'll keep looking in here in hopes someone has a good suggestion for you that I can steal

LOTR -- my kids LOVED it. D2 was only 7, and I refused to let her watch the movies because they were PG-13 rated. She said, "If I read the books, then can I watch the movies?". "Sure", I said, thinking that would buy me a few y

I've always enjoyed reading children's books and especially since DD came along I make a point to read them often so I have a good idea of what books are out there for her. However, lately, I'm noticed a VERY disturbing trend when these same wonderf

@Ami Just an idea: for things that look hard and she doesn't want to start/do -- that is the perfectionism/procrastination bug pick something not too hard but not too easy, then say ... let's try this together, we'll just do 10 minutes and if in 1

I, too noticed the 2E board was more leaning towards Cozy Middle. This was giving me pause. These folks have 2E kids, they've been through it, and they are telling me to pick Cozy. I realized that most of the kids sounded much further advanced in a

This continues to be an ongoing topic for us. DS was 3 perhaps, and cried great volumes over Little Red Riding Hood. At 4, he became a vegetarian for awhile after we walked through a fish market. Luckily I found some food chain books, and his magic s

Hi everyone, I thought I was way too early too, but adhoc made me think I should de-lurk. My daughter (I'll call her Hanni) is not quite 2. I've been amazed at some of the abilities people describe on this forum! Hanni is a pretty advanced talker (

Twinkletoes, I don't know if your religious but that has been a help for us on this subject. at the time DD's were 2 (almost 3) & 4 yrs old, the older one just stated I don't want to die young, wants to be an old lady with many grand and greatgra

Wow are you raising my child? lol! My oldest dd is an extreme introvert. I probably lean more toward extraversion, but I like quiet time to read and do other things that don't entail having the house filled with noise. Dd#2 is a huge extravert.

Leapfrog just put out a new math video of Math to the Moon or something like that. I honestly didn't pay attention to what it did when DS (3) was watching it the other day because I was dealing with a squirrel obsessed, barking dog during that time.

Thinking back, I spoke frequently with DS about death once he raised the issue and that was fine during the day. It was at bedtime that he became more emotional about the topic and less able to reason with. I think the thing that got us through those
