[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hops in the car after Pre-K and this ensues almost daily: "I want to watch Bluey and eat an ice cream bar when we get home" "We are going to grocery and I have another errand to run" "WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" This is every day. He is offered very minimal screen time daily- 20 mins max. Is this behavior crazy unusual? [/quote] He's 4. Don't pick a fight. Stall, and give him a minute to forget his whim of the moment. "Yes, you can watch Bluey and have an ice cream. We need to go to the store first so we have enough ice cream." Also, consider letting him rest. between school and errands. Or run errands while he's at school. He's 4.[/quote] +1 Four can be a tough age for many kids - lots of development, lots of big feelings. It sounds like he’s tired after Pre-K and (good for him) knows what he wants to do to relax. That’s SO far from planning “everything out” as the thread title implies.[/quote]
