[quote=Anonymous]For kid-focused activities (museum, indoor play place, splashpark) I frequently asked my DD (now 5) starting when she was 2.5 or 3, but I usually would give two choices (X or Y). It wasn't worth it to drag her somewhere she really didn't want to go because she wouldn't be engaged. I also sometimes gave her the option to stay home with her dad while I went to the grocery store, etc. She has been very verbal and opinionated since she was 2, so I felt she understood whether she did or did not want to do things. Other things -- daycare, doctor, etc., playdate with my close friends' children -- were not optional. [/quote]
