Max has been having trouble recently. If he doesn't get what he wants right when he wants it he goes on a nice long rant, ie. "Fine then I will never go to Pre-School again. Never, never never. If Ms. Sheri doesn't like me then Fine! I don't want to go to pre-school anyway. I don't like pre-school, I don't like Ms. Sheri." This was yesterday when I took him to pre-school and didn't realize until we got there they he didn't have school that day.
He seems to have trouble with disappointment. I'm sure all kids do but I'm not sure how to handle it. I don't think he should have to convince him self that he doesn't want something just because he can't have it. Anyway if any of you have any great ideas let me know.
He also says Never & Forever all the time. "I will never get to have candy," or "It's going to take forever to clean my room!" I finally told him that never is a bad word and had him watch An American Tale because it has the song Never Say Never in it.
Anyway, I'm open to any suggestions or even just a, "That's what 4 year olds do" comment.
About Me
- Becky
- I started out as a daughter and sister. Then things progressed and suddenly I was also a young child and a friend. As I grew I became a teen who was boy crazy and also enjoyed singing and performing in musicals. For a brief time I was a college student and then a newlywed. I enjoyed working in the "real world" as a claims adjuster's assistant. Then out of nowhere I was suddenly grown up and taking on the most challenging role of my life, Mother of 4. Now the time has come for the role of daughter to join the main players at center stage with the additional of the title, "caregiver".
