Hi - new to the board! I have a DD4 years old that is passionate about anything to do with numbers, science, or ballet:)

Last night, she had an absolute tantrum because I said I would not get her a watch when she turns 5
me: I will get you a watch when you can tell time
DD: how can I learn to tell time without a watch...I will never learn to tell time until I am an adult...when my children are 5, I will get them a watch...I will not learn to tell time until I am 100 (and on an on)

She finally settled down and then asked me to teach her time (I had introduced the concept a few months back). I drew up a clock with some movable numbers and within 30 min she got the basic concepts down...she then smiled and said, can we go get a watch tomorrow? I think I am in trouble lol
