I will have to keep those in mind for Sus in a couple years. The others sound good too. :) I like what you were saying about getting him to think about his own thinking. . . great stuff!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485310328441248086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360337651779807640.post-42322403183864246702010-07-30T07:04:20.205-07:002010-07-30T07:04:20.205-07:00We had a lot of battles with this as well and some...We had a lot of battles with this as well and some heated debates with my husband on how not to turn mealtime into a power struggle. Now the rule is that Anna has to eat everything that she voluntarily put on her plate and most of what she "ordered". In other cases (she is trying something new or the plate is filled by someone else, like in the restaurants) it's up to her to decide how much and what she will eat.<br />We enjoyed Little Hoot, but overall I feel that the humor is designed more for parents than for children. Anna worked pretty hard trying to "decode" the meaning of the story - she is at the stage where she takes everything literally.Natalie PlanetSmartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531558038661679151noreply@blogger.com
