[quote=Anonymous]I had a realization last night, which feels obvious in hindsight... I feel like I'm always parenting in a reactive way instead of being proactive. For example last night while I'm trying to make dinner, the 2 & 5 year olds are deliberately provoking each other, squabbling over everything. I tried to separate them, but they can't stay away from each other. I had this vision of them at the dinner table independently doing an activity in peace while I cooked. I feel like if I plan well enough in advance, I can make this happen. For example, I get the play doh out, or set them up each with a little puzzle or.... If you are a parent that does this, can you share some strategies, and maybe some activities? Kids are both boys, if that matters.[/quote]
