We tell her the number of sleeps she has to do before a big event occurs. If it's far away we just tell her it's "lots and lots" of sleeps away until it's close enough that she can understand the number. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grasping-the-concept-of-holidaysdates#post-2679329 Fri, 13 Jan 2017 00:50:02 +0000 AprilFool 2679329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having this issue with birthdays at the moment. She wanted more presents after Christmas and we told her the next present event was her birthday. She asks every day! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grasping-the-concept-of-holidaysdates#post-2679327 Fri, 13 Jan 2017 00:47:55 +0000 808love 2679327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually had a Frozen calendar last year! LO used it regularly for at least six months. This year she has a generic giveaway from the Asian grocery store but LO is so possessive of it. I asked her if I could write the menu on it tonight and she adamantly refused. She faithfully puts a check mark on each day that passes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grasping-the-concept-of-holidaysdates#post-2679326 Fri, 13 Jan 2017 00:28:51 +0000 ALV91711 2679326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: DS does the same. Not yesterday the other yesterday, I hear quite often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grasping-the-concept-of-holidaysdates#post-2679297 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 23:22:04 +0000 fancyfunction 2679297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Yes, my mom found it at the dollar store! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grasping-the-concept-of-holidaysdates#post-2679203 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 21:11:01 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2679203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: a Frozen calendar would be a giant hit at our house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grasping-the-concept-of-holidaysdates#post-2679202 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 21:10:21 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2679202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: haha I was literally just telling my mom that my LO does the same thing! At least they're kind of close? 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grasping-the-concept-of-holidaysdates#post-2679182 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 20:18:49 +0000 Smurfette 2679182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: same! She says yesterday in reference to something we did months ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grasping-the-concept-of-holidaysdates#post-2679178 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 20:14:10 +0000 lawbee11 2679178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my LO today = right now, tomorrow = any day in the future, and yesterday = any day in the past 😂 We have some work to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grasping-the-concept-of-holidaysdates#post-2679163 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 19:51:19 +0000 SweetCaroline 2679163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nephew's parents are divorced and he crosses each day on the calendar at the end of the day, and that helps him understand mommy and daddy days. I bet you could take a similar approach, showing her how many boxes are left to cross out until Valentine's Day (my DDs birthday!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grasping-the-concept-of-holidaysdates#post-2679144 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 18:58:55 +0000 fancyfunction 2679144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have a calendar at pre-school where they recite the date. We also just put a Frozen calendar on the back of her door but haven't really paid much attention to the dates on it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grasping-the-concept-of-holidaysdates#post-2679086 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 18:30:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2679086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told DD1 that the next holiday coming up is Valentine's Day and now she asks me every day if it's Valentine's Day lol Does your LO have a calendar or do any activities to help them grasp the concept of dates and holidays? </p>
