my son is 2.5 years old and we just had a baby 7 weeks ago. he has done AMAZING with her and besides the occasional asking to be held when shes being held, he hasn't shown any sign of regression or having a hard time with her...yet. one thing that has changed, if EVERY time its time to get dressed, it is a huuuge battle. even if he knows that getting dressed means its time to go somewhere fun. he runs away. screams. when we finally get him and go to to put his pants on, he jumps up and down and spins around so we can't get them on him. we've tried letting him pick out his own clothes, teaching him how to get himself dressed, telling him we won't go anyhwere (and we really stick to it too, just myself or my husband will end up running to the store instead of all of us) and he get upset, and will get dressed well while the other person is gone when we tell him we can go to the park later, but then does it all over again at bedtime when its time for PJs we aren't too into bribing kids, but we just didnt know what else to do. and even thats not working. my son responds very well to just explaining things to him. he talks extremly well for his age and has a memory that freaks both myself and my husband out haha. this seems to be the only thing we havnt been able to talk through with him any suggestions? |
