[quote=Anonymous]Agree with everything that PP said. I also think that this may be a way that she is manifesting that she is ready to take ownership of more things in her life. At that age, I created a visual check list for my charges for different times of day, and they were responsible for getting themselves ready (with help and reminders as needed). IIRC their morning checklist was: go potty, get dressed, brush hair, eat breakfast. The leaving the house checklist was: go potty, brush teeth, put on shoes and jacket. Our coming home checklist was: hangup coat and put shoes away, wash hands. I also tend to do things in a very ritualized manner. I think that for young kids this really helps them to see that we do things the same way every day and they can know what to expect. So every day while preschooler is eating breakfast, I am packing diaper bag and food for our outing, then I feed the baby while she cleans up after breakfast.[/quote]
