Open Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)
I have a 4 year old son, William. He is starting Preschool on Sept. 4th! I am happy because I am a stay at home Mom and he can drive me crazy at times, but I am sad and scared because my little baby is growing up. I have OCD, Depression and Anxiety so allowing him to go to a public Preschool is a big step for me. I am afraid that he will get sick or hurt and I won't be there to prtect him. He is such a sweet little boy but he is also very bossy and stubborn.
Treatments
- Child Time-out Not Working
- We have a hard time getting him to listen to us or take us seriously.
- Education (School) Too Soon to Tell
- I hope that preschool will help him come around and stop trying to push us around
- Patience Not Working
- I am running out of it!!!
