Feel terrible but lose patience easily w 4 yo. It must be hard on him with 1 yo beginning to walk , etc but it's so hard to get him to listen. Find myself raising my voice to put on shoes, hold hand, cross street, etc. He's in nursery and tests well (he's fine) it's just that he's four and a daydreamer. There's a lot of whining these days too. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Good point. very "how to talk so your kids will" I'm conscious about pointed praise for cooperating, didn't think about listening. Thanks [ Reply | More

Thanks ladies, I feel less monstrous. I stopped off at "CRUMBS" during lunch and bought some overpriced cupcakes for him. He really is a sweetie, just always driving an imaginary racecar or something [ Reply | More
