Re: "Irrational" outbursts of a 4yr old #siblings #partnership
Hi Lollizah, I¡¯ve been reading and learning from this wonderful group for many years, but this is my first post. My kids are older now (17 and 15), but here are my thoughts. The simple things,

Re: "Irrational" outbursts of a 4yr old #siblings #partnership
Katie, thanks.? You meant take the older kid and leave the house with just him, right?? :-) Sometimes I didn't have the dad to stay home, and leaving the house (with everyone) could still break an
Re: "Irrational" outbursts of a 4yr old #siblings #partnership

Re: "Irrational" outbursts of a 4yr old #siblings #partnership
Lollizah, I'm sorry people are so busy, or not using e-mail anymore, or whatever it is.? I wish you could get a shower of help instead of just the little watering can I had. I hope things are

Re: "Irrational" outbursts of a 4yr old #siblings #partnership
I remember the frustration from the mom's angle, but I was the older child, so I'm sympathetic to your son. :-) I don't have all the ideas you need, but I have a couple. One, about chess, would be

"Irrational" outbursts of a 4yr old #siblings #partnership
My 4 yr old DD is delightfully dramatic, excited about life, and open about her moment to moment feelings. This is completely opposite of her dad, 11yr old brother and myself. Which makes it a joyful

If I'm personally unable to ask, I pass the hat (for storage, for future use) on to these there:? Holly Dodd, Marta Venturini Machado, and Vlad Gurdiga.? If I can't ask for help, maybe one of them

Re: English surprises (I think you'll be surprised)
The surprise might be in figuring out how the ¡°greatest number of English speakers¡± can be calculated. Considering how many people are living in India, versus in the UK (or NZ / OZ), it makes

Thank you for this reminder! I still find myself falling into reacting from my own wounds around food. I need to read this every day to keep me grounded in it.
