[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I required the following as a sahm

Two hours every other day for exercise. This included prep and shower time. We walked with me pushing stroller. She didnt want to get in? Tough luck. I had enticing small treat for her and off we went.

Three hours minimum for housework. I usually did this during nap times.

One hour to cook.

The rest was free time, and I did a lit of inviting toddlers and their caregivers to my home or walkable playground. An hour or two was fine.

No $ for classes. It just seemed silly at that time. And a kid who wont sit still for story time shouldn't be at story time or else-- and id say this is more likely--is not at a toddler appropriate story time. [b]Toddler appropriate story time involves movement[/b].[/quote]

Which is what our library does movement ALONG with reading several books and the little ones do sit and listen.  Because your toddler will not listen to a book being read you think all the toddlers who do are acting inappropriately?!

Defensive much?  [/quote]

What? Confused... I have two kids. One was happy to sit still and lists. She's my "lap girl." The other was a run around, jump around girl. Both liked and preferred storytimes that involved movement. One would move a little, the other more. I've been to all kinds of storytimes. Without question, some were much better than others. Some, run by ppl with young-child experience, sang songs and moved, and others were of the sit and listen variety. Many toddlers simply didn't have the patience for this, and it was clearly difficult for the reader and parents to manage. I know what tends to work, and I look for it. That is all.[/quote]
