[quote=Anonymous]I realize that lately I've been getting annoyed with my 5 year old too much, but yesterday I counted 14 times over the course of 20 minutes that I asked him to please put on his socks and shoes before I finally snapped with "why can't you just put in your socks and shoes!?!?" He is fully capable of doing it on his own, it took him less than a minute once he got started, he just gets distracted easily and starts doing other things over and over. My older kid was never this way, very disciplined and usually happy to do things like that the first or maybe second time I asked. I really don't know how to parent this one as well, he's a daydreamer and wanderer and I find myself snapping after asking him to do something simple over a dozen times when we have to get out the door. Any strategies for this type of kid?[/quote]
