Dear Kid Whisperer,
I am the mother of four kids: two boys and two girls. I don’t know what is going on, but for the last month or so, they have been testing my patience by becoming really helpless and needy. Three of the four have become less mature this summer. They can’t do anything for themselves. I am tired of doing things for them. If I refuse, they whine and I end up doing whatever it is for them. My boys keep wanting me to settle their constant disagreements. I reached my limit last night when my eight year old suddenly lost the ability to wash her own hair. I need help. -Molly S.

Think back to when you were a first grade teacher……what are your best Love and Logic tips when beginning the school year with this age group? Thanks! -Natalie
Hi Natalie. Thanks for the timely question. As you know, this is a crazy time of year for teachers, especially for those of us who are switching classrooms and grade levels! I will now have to think waaaaay back to when I was a first grade teacher- all of three months ago. 🙂

How to Neutralize Arguing
Dear Kid Whisperer,
I have a seven year old daughter. I love her very much but she is driving me crazy. Any time things don’t go exactly her way, she argues with me and asks why things aren’t exactly the way she wants them to be. I feel like I spend a majority of our time together arguing with her. We used to have fun together and now it seems like we are at each other’s throats all of the time. Is there a way that I can stop the arguing so that I can have my life back? –Annette
