What do you do when....

  • Your 17-month old learns to say Movie and wants to watch movies all day long? ("Oooh-eee, oooh-eee, oooh-eee") It will be a great day when we have a toy room again.
  • Your 3-year old is terribly afraid of her bed and wants someone to lay down with her every night? So you wait until 8:30 at night when it won't take quite as long until she falls asleep. Really she should be in bed by 7:30 since she wakes up around 6:30, takes no naps, and gets terribly whiny by 4:00 in the afternoon. She's so peaceful and happy when you lay next to her as she drifts into peaceful sleep. Yet, you're sick of falling asleep laying there and wasting an entire evening. Do you make her cry it out and go to sleep afraid that the giants might get her?
  • You have a 5-year old? They just keep getting more complicated every year, don't they?

Stacy -
Our sweet three-year-old keeps telling us that a monster will come and get her and take her away. Marni has a way of telling stories that has helped work out a lot of Ellie's fears. I'll tell her to talk to you about it. JSY
