lunch bags for preschool image
ACJ Mom
My daughter starts in September and aside from doing some clothes shopping for her, what else might she need?
No, no bus taking for her. I already stocked up on crayons (on sale at walmart for $0.25!) and I believe lunch/snack is free.
Angel- It's full day, 5 day a week preschool...
Answer
Our son starts Pre-K in September as well. Maybe they can be buddies.
Here is the list we were given:
For school:
-Toothbrush
-Two (2) pocket folders
-Backpack or tote bag
-Box of tissues
-Change of clothes
-Once a month classroom snack
For home:
-Safety scissors
-Box of crayons
-Pencils
-Markers
-Glue sticks
-Paper
-Variety of children's books
-Routine or schedule for daily activities
She may or may not need a lunch box. Our school will provide them with a free lunch. Is she taking the bus? Our son is taking the bus there, but he will be getting picked up (if he takes the bus home it's with high schoolers).

How can i become a more patient parent?

To be honest i am quite stressed out. I have a 9m old baby who i have all the patients in the world for but also have a 6y old & 4y old that I always seem to be at war with.
How can i make it more peaceful? I encourage them & praise them and i do really try but i wish i had more fun with them & i am sure it is not them it's just me.
They break up from school this week & i am dreaming of a happy christmas, any tips would be really appreciated.
Answer
Its really tough dont be so hard on yourself. I have pretty much the same mix as you - a 5 1/2 year old boy - he's at scholl full time, a 4 year old daughter - 5 mornings at preschool and a 15 month old baby girl. I feel like I dont have much fun with mine either.
I work 3 days a week but finish in time for school pick up and my childminder brings the girls to school. So 3 days a week they all want me me me from 3.30pm having not seen me all day and thats when I find it the hardest. I have to unpack their bags, make packed lunches, tidy the breakfast things that I never had time to tidy in the morning, make dinner - all whilst sorting out the computer game my son wants to watch, the stickers or whatever my daughter wants to do, carting round the baby as she just crawls round my ankles otherwise or just cries, and changing a nappy or wipng a bottom, getting drinks, bla bla bla.
I dont think just explaining to them that Mumy has things to do and that their whingeing doesnt help will really work because a 6 yr old and 4 yr old will listen but then whinge 5 minutes later and of course a 9 month old wont just cooperate with that.
Trying to get some time for yourself each day would be great - but when ???? If you are like me then by the time they are all in bed and that is a feat in itself - there is still laundry to do and toys to tidy and then you just want to veg in front of the laptop/telly.
I suppose there are two pieces of advice that are useful:
1. Pick your battles
2. Let the housework go
3. Get out somewhere each day
I find 1 and 2 really challenging. I start off tine with the choose your battles and as time goes on I give off more and more about more and more, things reach a peak and I have to have a good old cry, decide I cant keep on like this, choose my battles and start over. Try to ignore the small stuff. If they dont finish their breakfast dont sweat it just giveit back to them later or whatever. On the housework thing dont make the kitchen spotless just leave it and then be silly and dance with them, do sticking with them etc, whatever you can.
Try to get out at one point during each day. I find the fresh air (even if just from house to car) helps , it kills some time of the day (sorry if that seems depressing way to look at it but some days you just want toget through), and gives you a focus. It doesnt have to be for them, just go and buy a pint of milk.
I feel a bit like all I have done is waffled bu I wanted you to know the way you feel is normal. Sorry I havent helped much have I ?! If you find a solution let me know.......
