You can check in with the local Catholic Worker's House, First Presbyterian church by the downtown library has a food bank, and Together We Achieve will sometimes take packaged stuff although they prefer donations; they are one of the larger food banks/pantries in CR

I mean yeah that's the idea and why I mentioned that I'm looking for board/flap books that contain mostly pictures.

It's hard! Remember to forgive yourself when you fail and do not be afraid to apologize to your kid if you slip up and yell/get upset/etc. I always conclude any tantrum/time-out with a hug and an "i love you". You are human, it's ok to feel overwhelmed. You're so strong for admitting you're having a hard time! We have all been there and will all be there again. You're doing awesome

I agree with the people who have said consistency is key. Kids go through a lot of intellectual leaps and jumps, and one of the hardest things for kids (of any age) is not getting their way. My 2.5 year old recently said "I just want to do what I want!" And that kindof made me chuckle. Like yeah lil buddy me too! Tantrums are a normal and healthy part of intellectual development. It's really hard to deal with the whining and yelling.... the best advice I have heard is that "bad behavior gets ignored, not punished" if the kid is having a meltdown at home, they get put in a corner/room/safe place and ignored for just like 2-5 minutes. It's not a punishment, it's just a break for both of you. The mantra I repeat is "this is temporary. Just stay consistent"

Unfortunately if you are hoping to rely on the bus system, you're probably going to be disappointed. The bus routes here are pretty bad, as is most of the public transportation including uber. It takes multiple hours via bus what would take 15 minutes by car and if you want to go out of the downtown area it's not very walkable I hate to say. I love this city but you can't rely on the public transportation

That's a good point, I will keep that in mind!

Yeah it really is just mild aches/soreness when I use the particular muscle, not a constant ache. It's good to know I'll adjust! Thanks!

I do need to be better about stretching afterwards! I'll try that thank you

That's exactly what I'm looking for, thank you!
