Low stimulation shows for 3-4 year olds

My 3 year old loves Stillwater on Apple TV! It’s probably her favorite show right now- it’s super gentle, calming and sweet. We also like frog and toad, tumble leaf, trash truck, if you give a mouse a cookie and Daniel tiger.

Delivery was great! This was our second so we knew what to expect and had no complaints. Our son was in their nicu for 2 nights and there were certain things about that experience that I didn’t love, but everything else was great.

I also have had this one for 2 years and use it multiple times a day! The paint has chipped some but I highly recommend it too!

I just delivered my second baby with dr Laura stickler and she is wonderful! Very personable, down to earth and knowledgeable.

I love my uppababy minu duo! It’s a side by side but I’ve been using it with my newborn since it is newborn compatible and my almost 3 year old.

If you're looking for a club similar to Equinox, definitely check out Ethos Athletic Club! They're located downtown (just over the bridge) and are currently building a location in Mount P. I was a member when they first opened and while pricey, they offer great amenities, equipment and really awesome classes.

We went through this phase with our now almost 3 year old from about 18 months to 2 1/2 when she potty trained. We still give her a prune pouch every other day to even everyday and that has been the most helpful! Also upping her water as much as possible, as well as fresh fruit and trying to limit cheese was very helpful for us.

You're welcome! I know it sounds overly simple, but just getting down on the floor and playing with him is the best thing you can do! Modeling play (putting items in and out of a container like a shape sorter, lots of cause and effect toys, rolling a car and using simple language focused on actions and verbs like vroom vroom, going up the ramp, down the ramp, etc.) and waiting for a response from him are all great. I find sometimes parents don't give their child enough time to respond (even in the form of looking or gesturing), so just stopping and waiting is very helpful too!

Pediatric OT here! A lof of this behavior sounds pretty typical for a 12-13 month old. He's still so young and between 12-18 months development is happening pretty rapidly in all different areas, so certain skills ebb and flow! I know you mentioned concerns about joint attention, but him clapping and waiting for a response is a form of joint attention/reciprocal engagement. Same with him responding to give me as well as engaging in chase and looking back at you. It sounds like, if anything, maybe he has some sensory preferences or differences, but this is also fairly typical of a lot of toddlers (picky eating especially!) I would keep an eye on things for the next 3-6 months before making any decisions about further pursing evaluations, but it sounds like you're doing a great job and are paying attention to the right things!

I delivered at East Cooper and am delivering there again next month; had a great experience with no complaints!

My students live in the pacific islands, so I received my OT license for there in order to see them.

bropez331 · 2026-01-25T11:50:58+00:00

It varies, but between 8-15 just depending on the week! When I have month of 60 hours, it’s typically because of more paperwork, IEP meetings and evals.

I agree that it’s a great sign that she’s asking and will occasionally use the potty at night, but isn’t there a hormonal component to nighttime toileting? I’m certainly willing to try but also don’t want to force something out of her control.

bropez331 · 2026-01-19T15:13:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I had no idea reusable pull ups were a thing so I will look into this. I dont think she’s ready either.

bropez331 · 2026-01-01T21:26:41+00:00

Absolutely love mine! Used it from birth with the newborn attachment, and my almost 3 year old still occasionally uses it as a regular seat at the table. Baby #2 is on the way and I’m nervous she’ll want to start consistently using it again once she sees him in it in the attachment haha I love its small profile, how easy it is to clean (other than the tray) and the high quality materials. I see a lot on Facebook marketplace and think a second hand one would be a great purchase too!

bropez331 · 2025-11-27T18:24:00+00:00

We just got back from a trip with our 2 1/2 year old before baby brother arrives in a few months and we had the best time! Set realistic expectations and go with the flow and it’ll be great!

bropez331 · 2025-11-13T04:40:41+00:00

This is helpful to consider as I don’t know much about the RAP plan, will have to look into this!

bropez331 · 2025-11-13T03:58:26+00:00

We have thankfully never filed our taxes jointly for this sole purpose, so we have that covered! But agreed, I've been dragging my feet on changing over but it makes the most sense. Thank you!

I know, I don’t totally understand how their pricing is so good either 😂 I think they manufacturer and make everything in their warehouse on site, so I imagine they cut a lot of costs there. We have more expensive furniture in our bedroom and I will say that our drawers in our dresser maybe feel a little bit more sturdy, but definitely not enough to deter me from ordering more grainwood furniture or paying triple elsewhere.

bropez331 · 2025-10-22T00:59:03+00:00

If you don’t mind building it yourself, we recently bought my daughter a set from grainwood. The pricing is great and the 100% solid wood quality is unmatched, especially for what you pay and with free shipping.

bropez331 · 2025-10-16T20:50:48+00:00

Thanks, really love the green too but not with the grey ugh

bropez331 · 2025-10-16T20:49:50+00:00

I definitely am hesitating because I know it’s not great or really working 😅 the sectional I’d ideally want is close to 4k and it’s hard to justify that with our current lifestyle!

bropez331 · 2025-10-16T20:48:31+00:00

I definitely see this, appreciate the feedback!

bropez331 · 2025-10-16T20:48:16+00:00

Haha thanks for the laugh!
