I am having a very similar problem, but with a much younger child. My DS is 2.5 He was very polite and well mannered until his best friend was moved up to the next class. Now, there is only one little boy in his class that he is close in age with, and quite frankly, that little boy is mean and...

First of all, please pray for my family. I need to get as many people as I can as fast as I can to tell me its ok to ask for help online for my two disabled daughters. Many people think I am begging for money but I'm not. I desperately need help with clothing, food, and medical debts/gas to see...

We recently had our neighbour come over to take a look at our fence (since we are re-doing the fence and we share it with them) (Until now, my 2.3 year old son had never talked to them, we saw him outside rarely, and I told DS that, that is the man in that house. ) DS was happily running around...
