I have enjoyed reading your posts. Thank you for all the great information! I found all the suggestions for parents to help their children have an easier transition to bedtime very helpful. I wonder though, what suggestions you might have to help the parent be successful at helping their child cope with anxiety/nightmares that wake the child in the night? How can parents help their child calm down and settle back into sleep and lessen the frequency of the night time anxiety? ~Korin
I checked out the website for activities for young children and liked how the suggestions come from actual parents. I often babysit my 4 year old nephew and I am always looking for new ideas, I really liked the idea of quiet time, which doesn't have to be an actual nap!
Hi, I've got a question for you. I have a preschool aged nephew who always seems to be playing some sort of video game (Wii, Nintendo, etc) to the point where it's hard to even talk to him anymore because he's so distracted. Do you know if there is any research out about young children and technology? If so, what does it have guidelines for what is and isn't appropriate for young children?
I find it interesting that teachers in charter schools require less education than teachers in public schools, but charter school children tend to test better. Has research been done on this? What kind of school would you choose to be better?
I work at a child care center and we consider three year old as being a pre-schooler. In your research, have you found a pre-schooler as being a specific age, or is it any child who has not started any schooling yet?
I have a cousin who has a little boy who is about to turn 4. He is wonderful and behaves very well when I am watching him. As soon as his mother walks into the room he stops what he is doing and tries to cause a problem? Do you think this is a cry for attention? I know that his mother does not take the time to read or practice anything with him when it come to learning activities. I try my best but then I am not his mother and do not want to over step any boundaries. What should I suggest to the mother or do for him?
I have a friend who works from home and lets her children watch too much TV out so that she can get her work done. Do you have any suggestions on activities to entertain her children while she is working? What is the recommended amount of time for a preschool age child to watch TV?
