Thank you for sharing your rich knowledge and the obvious dedication you have to keeping your child stimulated in the right way (and helping others to do so).

Tomorrow I will try typing up her story: that one was my favorite, such a great way to expand a Childs imagination! <br /><br />AlieYohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00209099024661266287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9448800.post-65269235724436999302008-07-22T15:05:00.000-04:002008-07-22T15:05:00.000-04:00I appreciate your information and research.

My daughter will be 4 in a month and it gets more intense and emotional daily. It's nice to know I'm not alone with wondering why 2 is supposed to be such a big deal! I found one book to help a lot with negotiating - aimed at age 1-4 it is useful even in coaching myself out of of sticky emotional situations !): "The Happiest Toddler on the Block: by Harvey Karp, M.D. As for activities, just to share some ideas, I've had sucess with making a "mixture" (dry ingredients like rice, baking soda, cornmeal, popcorn, in different containers to mix up in a bowl on a mat on the floor), building things with empty kleenex boxes (easier to maneuvre than small blocks), making a "tent" with an old sheet, and counting coloured blocks with the reward of writing the correct number on the hand in washable coloured marker. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9448800.post-63893313823690603412007-03-01T15:26:00.000-05:002007-03-01T15:26:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing your insight.

Good luck with your boys.<BR/><BR/>HeidiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
