Getting info

so family always say that BB [V] is stubborn like me... but when I read DR Sear's, it means she has the spunk.. the same spunk that helps her get up after a fall and try again...

Like I mention earlier that it has been a tough and rough week

Things I have observed:

1) She gets all upset when I tell her "no", used to be able to stop whatever she was doing

2) She crawls further from her usual comfort zone; she usually will turn bac to look at me after 10 crawling steps

3) She started "keeping" her toys; meaning she puts her toys inside the box

4) She hates to sleep; gets all upset when the lights are off

5) She has learn about doors, knobs; constanly opening, closing and insisting to keep the door stuck at the magnetic knob

6) Must stand and stand; eat stand, watch tv stand

7) Wants me to be within sight; if not she will search for me... behaves like when she was 5-6 months = sticky

8) Wakes up every few hours = like a infant

Damn desperate = Dr Sears webbie..

"Developing children take two steps forward and one step backward. In each stage of development, they bounce back and forth from equilibrium to disequilibrium. While they're stepping forward into uncharted territory, finding new friends, trying new things, expect discipline problems due to the anxiety that tags along with experimenting. In each stage, expect the calm to come after the storm. The same child who spent two months in a snit may act like an angel for the next three. This developmental quirk can work to the child's advantage and yours. Spot which phase your child is in. If he's trying to move away and grow up a bit, let out the line. During this phase, your child may seem distant from you; she may even answer back and defy you. Don't take this personally. This phase will soon pass. The child is just in the "do it myself" phase and needs some space and coaching (including correcting) from the sidelines.

One day soon, as sure as sunrise follows nightfall, you'll find your child snuggling next to you on the couch asking for help with tasks and suggesting activities you can do together. You may even wake up one morning and discover your six-year-old nestled next to you in bed. This child is now in a reconnecting phase, a pit stop in the developmental journey when your child needs emotional refueling.

When parents and child are out of harmony, discipline problems multiply. If your child is trying to break away when you are trying to bond, you are likely to overreact to what may be normal behaviors of independence. If you are too busy while your child is in the reconnecting phase, you miss a window of opportunity to strengthen your positions as comforter, adviser, authority figure, and disciplinarian

"TADA" the calm before the storm.... good luck to all who have been having the calm, for the storm will be like mine!!! Though I can feel that the storm is diminishing soon.. *crosses fingers* Now I'm waiting for the reconnecting phrase cause we are damn bloody ready!
