Sharing Love and Friendship

Elizabeth have had two situation when she expects from her friends unshared commitment and when she failed to receive such she gets really upset, even hurt and in response tries to say something hurtful like "sitting with me on the bus once a week is not good enough" or "I don't want a play date with you." She is looking for deep relationships, she has a big heart, but she will need to learn that there is nobody who could belong to her and her only, she will need to share her beloved once with other friends, relatives. The only thing she could control always and forever is herself. She would need to find some activity she could love as deep as she would love a friend and something that she would create would belong to her only. Or not to her only, she will have to share it with Others. Others might love it too and might want to have it too?!  

Stephen is finally potty trained at 2.5 years of age!!! Still having small accidents, but it's normal for his age. He's has been using potty since 18 month here and there and only now I trained him to use potty when he needed to go,  by intensive and constant trips to the potty during three consequent days, and bribing him with beanie boos which he really wanted.

I ask my 2-year old many question about his likes and dislike and it is so helpful that he can talk and explain my parent-whys?

For example:

Why don't you like when I wash your face? - You touch my nose, I can't breath!!!
Why don't you like to wash your hands? - I am afraid of water coming out from the fauset!!! 

How to teach your child to love cleaning his/her room.

This paper is going to be a detailed research of children's behavior  and response when asked to tidy their rooms, to fix their beds, to fold clothes, to pick up toys.

As the result of the research and analysis I wish to come up with the effective way to teach them to be neat their whole life and love cleaning after themselves and understand how important it is to be organized and discipline.

Today I happened to have such a conversation with my father... So, I asked him to hire a cleaning lady for his house and, as I have had several of cleaning ladies, and have had experience of hiring them and choosing the right type, I started to advise him what to pay attention to when hiring a cleaning lady. And, as a follow up, he told me an interesting story about his mother - my grandmother - how he tough him to clean after himself and how important it was for her. (And I will tell you how much he LOVED cleaning through his adult life). And how his childhood experience helped him to hire people for his business.

Stephen 18 month.

I don't devote as much time to write about my son's developmental milstones as I used to do it with my firstborn daughter. Today is my first post about Stephen. What do I remember?

1. Nowadays, he says about 15 -20 words (yabloko, mama, Liza, papa, did, baba, dyadya, Elsa, Pepper Pig, Elmo, dai, tuda....) and even put some two words phrases together. For example - "Mama dai." Can repeat all animal sounds.
2. He can run, trys to jump, likes to dance (takes my hand and invites for a dance when hears music), sing along, likes cars, trains, farm animals, other animals, books. Can focus on one toy for quite a long time.
3. Loves his sister, she makes him laugh a lot. Liza take care of him - can put him is his highchair, feed him, put some clothes on.
4. Loves company.

Recently started hiding in a dark coner to throwing things all over or just playing with some toys.
Slowly gets into the behavior of  terrible twos - throwing tantrums, demanding his way, checking out my temper by doing wrong things.
