[quote=Anonymous]Does your DD go to preschool? You do not mention preschool. If not, do it. If you are a SAHM, enroll her for 12-20/hrs. a week. I was a SAHM, and my DD did 16/hrs. a week for HER development, not me. You do not want her starting kindergarten and having a meltdown when it's time to go to school, or the teacher makes a transition to another activity. Our younger DD had some trouble with transitions and the worst thing you can do as a parent is to mirror your child's anxieties or frustrations. Your attitude needs to remain utterly calm and matter-of-fact. My DD didn't have a problem with swim lessons at that age, but if she had, I would have calmly told her that she had two choices: either get in the water with the teacher and learn to swim, or we go home right now. End of. Start having her make choices, and let her mull the consequences.[/quote]
