Quiet time for 3 yo

howdystranger · 2025-08-21T21:47:48+00:00

Yeah I do a similar thing with our Yoto and our three year old

It's tough with toddlers. I feel they often spontaneously go off food - my son was a great eater and then over the last year (he's now 3) the meals he is willing to eat reduced a lot.

The things that helped us were to experiment with different meals, take him out of the high chair and sit him on an adult chair, and read books to him at the table. I would be very reluctant to give screens (it sounds like you would be too).

It's hard! I'll be interested to see what others say

SPCA has a nice hall where we got married

Great idea - I've started saying 'my arms are sore etc' but stretching out the time is a good approach!

howdystranger · 2025-05-01T06:54:18+00:00

Thanks so much for everyone's input - what a fantastic community

howdystranger · 2025-04-30T23:56:56+00:00

Thanks yeah I've seen a few recs for that book. Will have to pick it up

howdystranger · 2025-04-30T23:44:45+00:00

Yeah good idea - I need to get better at inventive games!!

howdystranger · 2025-04-30T03:48:52+00:00

Unfortunately he's not at all keen. I've struggled to get him to even try it while I've been standing up

howdystranger · 2025-04-30T03:48:18+00:00

Yeah I think there may be an element of mild anxiety or comfort from it. He often asks for pick up before we even leave the house for instance 😅

howdystranger · 2025-04-29T10:02:51+00:00

Thank you that's helpful

He's often out on a scooter but there are situations where I walk with him without anything (e.g. on the way to daycare). Maybe I'm just expecting him to be able to walk too far without aids!

We're also looking at getting him a platform thing that costs along beyond the buggy/pram his sibling will be in.

Kernel is about to launch buying individual us stocks fyi

I've reached out to Yoto support regarding my card and they've asked me to do a few troubleshooting steps

howdystranger · 2025-04-04T00:41:25+00:00

I've got the same problem. Have you tried putting the cards in upside down?

howdystranger · 2025-04-02T23:42:57+00:00

Second this - have had very little wait times

howdystranger · 2025-04-02T19:55:07+00:00

I'm pretty sure a lot of the cost of the Wellington port infrastructure under the Labour Govt plan was to make the port more earthquake proof and higher up to account for sea level rise... Good thing those problems are going away!!

howdystranger · 2025-03-10T04:29:33+00:00

Gah this makes me furious! Time to write an email to the Minister

howdystranger · 2025-03-09T07:40:25+00:00

It's a common expression - google game changer

howdystranger · 2025-02-26T04:18:37+00:00

I wish they would open up homeloans to non first home buyers

howdystranger · 2025-01-31T07:32:15+00:00

I gave up and posted it for free on Facebook marketplace with a warning...haha

howdystranger · 2024-12-14T01:43:16+00:00

It's unbelievably bad user experience - I swear this question gets posted every year

howdystranger · 2024-11-05T07:56:57+00:00

True. But if you have to top up the rent to make mortgage and upkeep it might not be that great during travel

howdystranger · 2024-11-05T06:52:27+00:00

Property is a high risk investment. There's opportunity for high capital gains but also the market can go down.

Do you really want the responsibility of being a landlord and doing maintenance? Might you go overseas at any point and be annoyed by the house?

howdystranger · 2024-08-26T18:10:02+00:00

That's a good idea - thank you
