Now that I have found this incredible site, I have a few more questions for everyone!
In a pamphlet our Dr hands out, it said no TV or DVDs until 2 because they couldn't understand and it took away from valuable time with parents that they needed for speech or something like that.
Have you found your kids understand and learn from some DVD's earlier? When our DD (now 20 months) was 17 about to turn 18 months, she watched Leapfrog letters twice with my nephew (3) and learned every upper and lowercase letter and their sounds. So, knowing this, I can't see how some select DVD's aren't beneficial to some children before 2. If you have found this this the case, what are some DVD's you recommend that your kids enjoyed? Our DD likes Planet Earth and the Oceans (national geographic) - she will watch about 30 min at a time but we only watch them occasionally. She is also SO into YouTube and will request to watch various animals or things.
Sleeping: she doesn't sleep, literally a battle every day, Then she will wake up in the middle of the night and want to go play with her trains.. ideas? Suggestions?
Toy suggestions? She loves and will play over and over again making houses, couches, ect. with blocks or anything non-ending, but if it has a finish, she will only do it a few times and not like to play with it anymore. Any good suggestions for this age?
Thank you!!!
