Hello!!
Im Meg and I have a 6 3/4 year old daughter Matilda. She is beautiful, loads of fun and a constant delight with the things she says, BUT... she's in year 1 this year and just seems to be growing into a little miss. I do believe most little girls are quite like this, as it's not unbearable, she just seems to have developed an "attitude" and it's really hard work.
What im wondering is if anyone else has children around this age and if they have any ideas for keeping the peace. I don't like her watching TV, so afternoons after school are the hardest as I have to keep her entertained. She's happy to play for a while on her own, but we're in a unit and I can't let her out without me going downstairs to supervise. I can only do the park for so long, and Im just wanting some ideas. Most arvo's we have something on, but even then, it's the time after.
We do homework, reading, bath etc.
Any ideas or even just knowing others are in a similar sitch would be great!!!
