Six twelvemonth sometime daughter schedule together with development. How to bargain amongst emotions together with what vi twelvemonth sometime girls are like.
This is a summary for Brinley from 5 years 10 months sometime to 6 years old. She is straight off 6!
SLEEP
Sleep is great! Brinley had i nighttime where she woke upward crying because her leg hurt. I am 99% for sure it was from growing pains (the 1% is reserved only for the fact that at that topographic point is ever a require chances it could last something else). I gave her some hurting killer together with rubbed some Deep Blue stone oil on her (the doTERRA Deep Blue products are fantastic for growing pains!). Other than that night, things accept been great!
EATING
Eating has shifted some. She has ever been a slap-up eater, fifty-fifty through the typical picky slides toddlers move through. She has started to tell she doesn't similar for sure foods together with non desire to swallow them. There isn't i nutrient grouping she is directing this toward, but I would tell most foods autumn into the meat category. Brayden together with Kaitlyn both spent YEARS non liking meat. They basically didn't similar meat until they were most 5-6, then it is funny to accept her start to last picky most it now.
EXTRA CURRICULAR
During this fourth dimension period, Brinley did non produce much. She did a stone climbing summertime camp. I was actually proud of her for taking that on because she is then afraid of heights. She has a natural, existent phobia. But she is also determined to overcome that fear, then she constantly pushes herself. She had fun together with got to where she would climb the whole wall!
She also did pianoforte lessons. If yous follow me on Instagram, yous know Brayden is her instructor now. Our instructor nosotros accept had since Brayden was 5 moved together with all of the local teachers were full. Since Brinley is then basic, nosotros decided nosotros could endeavor having Brayden instruct her for this year. I don't intend it volition last slap-up long-term. Very few pianoforte teachers instruct their ain children, then I am for sure a sibling instructor human relationship volition non last fantastic, but it volition accept to produce for the year. In example yous are wondering, nosotros produce pay Brayden for beingness her teacher.
SUMMER
We are nearing the cease of summertime together with this fourth dimension menstruum covers 2 months of summer, then I wanted to give a summertime reflection. Brinley has ever been i to actually similar her structure. She has ever struggled amongst Saturdays because they are dissimilar from her Monday-Friday. Summer has been i long Saturday. She has handled it meliorate than she has inward past times years, but it is nevertheless hard for her.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 affair that compounds the work is that since she is the 4th child, she has older siblings involved inward things. That involvement leads to disruptions. Her 2 sisters both play soccer. Kaitlyn has had practise 3 days a calendar week together with McKenna has had practise twice a week. All dissimilar days together with times. Brayden has had swim lessons 4 days a calendar week together with pianoforte lessons the other day. We only accept things that larn inward then each twenty-four hr menstruum is a picayune different. Each twenty-four hr menstruum has a dissimilar current together with feel.
This leads to some emotional breakdowns.
I intend it volition last skilful for her to start dorsum upward amongst schoolhouse inward a twosome of weeks. Her days tin last ultra consistent amongst only some differences inward her evenings.
EMOTIONS
Speaking of emotions. My married adult man together with I were talking most Brinley together with how emotional she tin get. She is a super emotional person. She is advanced inward her feelings, but non advanced inward her maturity to require maintain those feelings. So she feels things to a greater extent than intensely together with deeply than the average 5 (now six) twelvemonth old, but her maturity to limited together with handle emotions has non grown equally fast equally the emotion itself.
So I accept been working on expressing emotions amongst her. We play a game inward a fourth dimension of non-conflict (read upward on training inward times of non-conflict here) where I tell an emotion together with she shows it on her face. I did this amongst all of my other children to assist them recognize those emotions be together with to cite them. Brinley knows those things already, then I never actually did the game amongst her.
What Brinley doesn't produce is limited the emotion she is feeling appropriately. So when nosotros play the game together with I say, "Show me, embarrassed", I betoken out to her her face. THIS is how a mortal who is embarrassed acts. She understands it logically. The fob is connecting it on an emotional level. I betoken out embarrassed doesn't expect angry nor sad.
So the side past times side fourth dimension she is embarrassed together with responds inward anger or crying, I remind her, "Remember what embarrassed looks like? This isn't how it looks." That helps her footstep dorsum together with endeavor to limited the appropriate emotion that she is feeling.
BIRTHDAY
I actually realized this calendar month that equally Brinley is anticipating something, she tin last hard together with disobedient. When she is looking forwards to her birthday or a big event, she gets hyper-focused on that together with for whatever argue becomes to a greater extent than stubborn. It could last her emotions are heightened--I haven't been able to analyze it deeply. As her birthday approached, she became to a greater extent than difficult. As before long equally it was over, she was much better!
VACATIONS
We had a twosome of vacations during this period. They were both entirely 4 days long together with unopen to home. She did slap-up at these. She slept good together with was pleasant.
CONCERT
We took all 4 kids to their outset concert. We saw Phillip Phillips at an outdoor concert. It was fun, BUT Brinley definitely was non sometime plenty for this. She has been to many, many musicals together with performances, then I idea she would last fine, but I approximate a concert is missing a storyline to proceed attention. Plus it was late, which didn't assist her experience slap-up most beingness there. She was bored (that is non commentary on Phillip Phillips; he was great!). So nosotros volition hold off a twosome of years earlier trying her at a concert again.
SCHEDULE
This is our basic summertime schedule (you tin larn to a greater extent than details most this summertime schedule here):
Brinley gets upward at 7:30 each morning.
