  1. Hi LauraHW - yep my boy, now 3, would only sleep for 30 minute cycles which of course meant he was grizzly and tired and we were tetchy and beside ourselves, then one day he slept for a 3 hour nap - who knows why as we'd already tried most things which had made no difference! I'm with Saffron, it was a stage that he grew out of. Good luck and keep strong, it does get better / easier! :)
  2. Have just used Terry based on this forums comments and am so glad not only for this forum which is amazing but also a HUGE thank you to Terry who at very short notice did some painting, sanding, grouting and more. As people have said he's great at his job, hard working, accommodating, polite and very easy to have around the house. Would use him again without a second thought. THANKS Terry
  3. My 3 year old son has been going since September and after initial settling in issues (more down to him than the pre school) loves it. The outside space is one of the best dedicated spaces we saw, the staff all seem lovely / fair / caring / chatty, the head office is very easy to deal with, feedback is freely given, suggestions are taken on board. PM if you have specific questions
  4. We brush at night for him and in the morning at the same time. He's an extremely competitive 3 year old so at the same time to see who finishes first - though we're also racing against this egg timer so know he's doing it for a certain length of time. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Smiley-Sand-Egg-Timer-minute/dp/B008H6EY42/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1359548420&sr=8-2 Other days we offer to sign a funny song or tell a story of his choice while we brush his teeth and sometimes we resort to this http://crappypictures.com/teeth-brushing/
  5. Although SuperManny may have upset some, please don't dismiss the book suggestion http://www.amazon.co.uk/Talk-Kids-Will-Listen-Child/dp/1853407054


    I've a 3 year old boy and have read this book numerous times and can truly say we are all much calmer and reasonable when we follow it's suggestions.


    Yes it's hard in the heat of the moment but I guess if something is practised enough it eventually becomes second nature.


    And surely if http://www.amazon.co.uk/Talk-Kids-Will-Listen-Child/dp/1853407054 suggest it to their mentors reading list it must make some sense as they deal with some very difficult situations. :)
