DS almost 5 does it now but I pretty much had to enforce him doing it himself. I'd walk him through it step by step "Count out three squares, now fold them, now wipe your bum then put it in the...

I do the Johnny Appleseed song with my kids sometimes. Other times we just thank the Lord for the meal and bless the hands that prepared it.

Johnny Appleseed song goes:

"Oooooh! The Lord is...

So there are these children staying next door for however long it will take for their house to get fixed (that was the story one of the older girls told me). They range in ages from 11 to 2 and there...

I don't much cater to my kids but I do try to teach them to be mindful of one another - like "It bothers your brother when you do that, why don't you do something else." Type thing. If reactions are...

Well both kids will be doing "tumble bees" camp at the gym for the last 3 weeks of summer - that's 3 mornings a week for 2.5 hours. The oldest will still be taking Tae Kwon Do every Wednesday and...

How's their veggie intake? Fruits are basically just vegetables with extra water and sugar in them. If your kids like veggies and snack on them then fruit is not necessary. Does DD1 like baby...

Oh yeah it's adorable but it's also really exhausting emotionally because the poor little guys are soooo upset so often. I'm glad that I'm not the only one dealing with a preschooler who does this...

Lately my almost 5 year old is in tears over every. little. thing. Can't play with the right colour of instrument during circle time? Tears. I'm unable to construct some sort of time machine to let...

Our living room and dining room are connected to one another and kind of flow together in an "L" shape. They eat meals at the table and have snacks in the living room. It's all one floor and the...

I've not seen the movie but I just consider that sort of thing to be adult references that are funny for adults but kids won't understand. Disney does it all the time.

"Darling it's better down...

DH plays a tabletop game with his guy friends every Saturday. It's his thing that he does and I'd never stop him from doing it, that's his recreation. If I wanted to do something and leave the kids...

Really hits home with me too, I'm never in the picture with my kids...

They go "to bed" between 5:30 and 6 but they play in their room until between 7 and 8, then we enforce them actually going to sleep.

I try to get my kids to call adults "sir" and "ma'am" or "miss" too. I don't really enforce it strictly but there have been a few instances where Jonathan was addressing someone who's name he didn't...

My oldest is nearly 5 and my youngest is nearly 3. Right now we don't really define what respect itself is we just tell them that it's a good thing to have and tell them how to be respectful. Saying...

Ty! I will look into them, they sound comfy :)

Usually me. I get up for everyone. If we have guests over too and they want something I get up.

Not quite ready for undies yet I don't think, they remind him of a diaper and he goes in them. He's okay with loose pants though, maybe I'll invest in some soft, comfy loose shorts or something....

My almost 3 year old has been bare-bottomed from the waist down in the house for a couple of weeks to potty train. Recently he's developed a very red bottom. It's not a rash and it doesn't look sore,...

Tae Kwon Do. I can't say enough for how awesome it is for kids this age. My oldest has never had issues with shyness but there is a little boy in his TKD class that was apparently very very shy...

We don't formally plan the day. The kids have certain activities at certain times and we plan around them usually.

Yeah that's important. My oldest has been in "school" since he was 28 months old because of a speech and social /emotional delay. When he 'graduated' from infants and toddlers we kind of had to...

I would likely redshirt both my boys if they were going to go to a full day kinder program just because I don't think little kids are ready for a full day at just turned 5. They are both July...

Thank you! <3

Warm milk with a bit of corn syrup in it maybe?

Humidifier / steamy air / bath with that vicks vapor bubble bath stuff
