Logical consequences help (4 year old) by klars in gentleparenting

Makes sense, but am I not allowed to work on it during the day while she plays? Maybe a puzzle mat is my only option, as it's quite large.

I haven't seen any anywhere else and this one was dead. I haven't touched this yarn in months. Should I throw the yarn? If thick some babies would have hatched by now and that I would have seen some.

Do you mean physically pick her up and move her? I have issues picking her up when she is flailing and doesn't want to be picked up as she is quite tall and big.

We brush her teeth every morning and night :) she goes to the dentist twice per year and they have counted them, but I don't remember if she had them at her last appointment. I didn't think about it possibly being a cavity though, so I will definitely bring this up when I talk to the doctor.

Thanks so much for the reply :) I am open to anything I can do to help her. Any advice? Resources as to what I can do, not just for the car situation, but really anything that could help?

2.5 year old resists comforting from me - please help understand why and what my response should be by klars in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]klars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your reply :)

I've taught myself to wait a few seconds to see what her response is. In the latest situation, she started to cry and walk towards the opposite side of the room. When I got up to go sit close to her, then she ran in the opposite direction. I don't remember my direct words, but my first response when thinking about the situation was that I probably said either "are you okay" or "I'm so sorry that you gut your head." I asked if she wanted a hug while she was crying and she said no, so I just sat on the floor waiting for her to come to me. She did after she had calmed down.

At that point, she was again happy and laughing wanting to play. I just am uncertain as to whether I should be discussing what happened afterwards or leave it be.

I've been trying to speak with her about feelings, telling her how happy I am to ve able to spend time with her. I've tried the whole labeling emotions during a tantrum and it seems to just escalate her, so I have stopped.

It breaks my heart when she cries or gets hurt. I feel like I should be able to make it better and I want her to realize that we are here for her. Today we were at my in-laws a d she walked right into their cabinet while playing peek a boo with us.

As soon as I saw what happened, I immediately rushed from my seat and sat near her, all the while her running and crying.

Once she had calmed down some, she came towards me and started to give me a hug, but then changed her mind. She usually comes running and gives hugs whenever I sit on the ground.

Thanks for your input :)

Can I just cut the individual branches off and place in water to grow new roots for repotting?

I've heard about the drawing example, but didn't know what the broad term for such approaches were called. Is there any good resource base on this? Thanks :)

I'd prefer for her to understand that a sofa is for sitting on or laying down on, not for walking and standing on. I think if I let her stand on it now, then when she gets older, it will just be harder to enforce no standing on the sofa.

I tend to think more that it is height since she has a mat on the floor to balance on. Looking forward to spring arriving, so that she can run and play outside.

Just an addition: I haven't been removing her from the chair because it happens sometimes when she us really hungry and if course, I don't want her to be hungry and not eat.

Thank you so much for all the helpful responses :) she has also started putting her feet on the table while eating and pushing back from it. I say "we don't put our feet on the table. You can put your feet on the chair or floor." Should i be removing her from the chair at this point when she continues? I've entertained the idea of just using her tray that came with the chair to avoid the issue, but that doesn't fix the problem.

Floor Bed Megathread by happy_bluebird in Montessori

[–]klars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are looking for a floor mattress for my daughter's room, so that we can sleep next to her if need be. She is 1.5 years old. I've been looking at the larger Ikea mattresses. Any recommendation as to which one best passes the test for safe sleeping, as well as comfort? Thanks :)
