- HELPING OUR CHILDREN MANAGE EMOTIONS

- Teaching Kids How To Manage Time (click on the link below)

Note: 4pm at this age it should be "play time outdoors, play dates, visit the library, walk to the bakery shop, walk to the ice cream shop, ride bikes, play with their toys, snack time, and have a two-way chat about their day with their caretaker". Please limit screen time at this age unless they are co-viewing with an adult. 

 

My advice is to include children in their dinner time age appropriate conversations. Also, at this age - there is no "penalty" time. Modify as needed and all the rest is on point.
