I'm hoping this will give her a better disposition starting from her words and moving to the heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-age-5-compared-to-ages-3-and-4#post-2558013 Fri, 27 May 2016 08:53:25 +0000 cascademom 2558013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm happy to hear the insight on 4-5 years old. We're heading in 4 years old territory at the end of August. A lot of the tantrums and whining are from not using his words. We're working a lot on that right now. I feel like I narrate every move and repeat everything he says every single day because that's how he gets feedback and growth. It's just exhausting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-age-5-compared-to-ages-3-and-4#post-2557859 Fri, 27 May 2016 06:14:43 +0000 looch 2557859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 so far has been much, much better than 3 and 4 from a tantrum and pushing limits perspective, but now, the social and emotional development is stressing me out...you know, hearing things like "so and so was ignoring me" and "no one wanted to play with me." It's not so easy to problem solve any more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-age-5-compared-to-ages-3-and-4#post-2557834 Fri, 27 May 2016 05:24:18 +0000 honeybear 2557834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Five has generally been awesome around here, with the caveat that @lamariniere: mentioned about the know-it-all attitude. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-age-5-compared-to-ages-3-and-4#post-2557829 Fri, 27 May 2016 02:25:06 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2557829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think DD has become easier over time too, after the age of 2... so 3, 4, and 5 have all been better and better. She is so sweet and thoughtful, but she does have her moments where she thinks she knows everything, and I feel like I'm constantly having to repeat myself to get her to listen because she thinks of herself as such a big girl now and can do it all. I hear, "I know, mommy, I know" a lot! I find 5 a little bittersweet because it almost feels like we're leaving childhood behind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-age-5-compared-to-ages-3-and-4#post-2557828 Fri, 27 May 2016 02:06:26 +0000 808love 2557828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 is generally good except they want to grow up and be so big!!! ;( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-age-5-compared-to-ages-3-and-4#post-2557818 Fri, 27 May 2016 00:46:19 +0000 lamariniere 2557818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 5 yo has always been a pretty easy kid. He definitely has his moments, but I feel like he has become easier over time. The worst part of 5 is his know-it-all attitude sometimes. </p> <p>I'm really leery of getting to the threenager stage with my current 2yo, she has a very different personality than her big bro! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-age-5-compared-to-ages-3-and-4#post-2557802 Thu, 26 May 2016 23:08:01 +0000 bhbee 2557802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 is pretty good so far with my first! (Girl, if it matters.) 3 was so much more drama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-age-5-compared-to-ages-3-and-4#post-2557403 Thu, 26 May 2016 15:52:07 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2557403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 was pretty good for us! I think for us the difference between 2,3,4 has been that the outbursts, tantrums, disobeying lessens but they can be more extreme. Its also more frustrating as a parent because you know they know better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-age-5-compared-to-ages-3-and-4#post-2557400 Thu, 26 May 2016 15:50:42 +0000 DillonLion 2557400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Age 3 has given me a run for my money, haha! It has definitely been the hardest year for our family after the infant stage. There's just so many emotions going on. I feel like I'm walking on egg shells to not incite a meltdown these days. </p> <p>I'm so looking forward to moving on from this age, but I've heard 4 isn't much better. </p> <p>So, how's 5?! Haha. </p>
