???s With little ones

My children are up at 6 a.m. I put them to bed at night at 8 (one year old) and 8:30 (five year old.) The one year old naps for an hour at 9 a.m. They both go down for an afternoon nap at 1:00. The one year old sleeps 2 to 3 hours. The five year old hardly sleep at all, but must remain on her bed and play or read quietly . . . (read rest of post )

Different weekday activities

Hi! I am new to scheduling and as I read your posts I thought you guys could help. What to do with a one year old who is everywhere? He has alone time in his playpen, but I can't leave him in there all day! I have tried "arts and crafts" but everything I have tried has been over his head. Plus, he only wants to move, not sit!!

Need help! My 3yo and 1yo are not cooperating with schedule

I also have a 1st grader with 3yod and 1yos to deal with! I can't stand the thought of giving up my afternoon quiettime to do school so I save alot of the read alouds for bedtime stories (history and other things). Here are some ideas for 3 year old: Table time (with one box of stuff for each day of week to only be used during school time: markers, play do, counting bears and cups, puzzles, etc . . .

Intro and How can I get anything done????

All the above ideas are great and I agree. One thing that I've found that helps is keeping children of this age apart more than they are together. They just can't seem to handle it. IE, if one has blanket time, the other has computer time and the third is doing school. then they switch and one has outside time (we have a little deck right off the school room witht eh swing and sandbox), one has playroom time and one has table time . . .

My testimony & my question: scheduling YOUNG kids?

Wow! Such prompt replies! Thanks to both of you! You said you're not sure what I'm asking. Well, I guess I'm not sure either--I'm asking so many questions right now. You hit one nail on the head, though, articulating something I've been thinking a lot about. There's "too much on my plate"--if I really want to do a good job at everything. So either I need to just do "good enough" (in lieu of excellent) in some categories as you say, and/or I need to re-evaluate and take some things off my plate . . . (read rest of post )

The day in the life of a one and two year old...

Hi Amy, I know what it is like to have 2 little ones close together. My dd's are 14.5 mths apart. Here are some things that the 2.5 yr old could do. Playdough, stinging beads(you can get them in a large size) or make your own out of rigatoni noodles. Make an indoor sandbox using things like uncooked rice or pasta and color it with food coloring . . . (read rest of post )

The day in the life of a one and two year old...

My 2 & 1 year old enjoy the park... My one year old really likes those small thick books with the cardboard pages... she likes "little people" dolls that fit well in her hand... both girls play a lot with the fisher-price little people playhouse.

The day in the life of a one and two year old...

I have a 13 month old and a 2 1/2 year old. We just play together much of the time. Almost all of the time the two play together. I try and come up with ways to help them play together. Some examples: blocks, she builds and he knocks down. I will entertain him helping him build himself and then my dd will call us over when her tower is ready to be knocked down . . .

We stopped naps a while ago for our 6 and 4 year old bvut have "quiet time" instead. The children may be in their rooms playing quietly until the end of "Quiet time".

What to do when naps are during early morning, like during

Our schedule is always different on Sundays. It does throw us off but just for one day. I hold my son in church and tell him to lie his head down. That way he falls asleep (he is one year old.) This gives him an earlier nap on Sundays then the other days, but it keeps him very quiet in church! We get a late lunch after church and then he goes down late for his nap, to get up at the same time as other days . . . (read rest of post )

Rising times for young children??

We put a clock in our daughters' room and drew a picture of what the clock would look like at six in the morning. We then told our five year old that she must stay quietly in bed until six a.m. and if she got out of bed before then she would get a spanking. She only needed one spanking. I was very careful to explain to her that it's always okay for her to get out of bed to go to the bathroom or if she gets scared . . . (read rest of post )

Is this a Scheduling Nightmare?

I don't think it would be hard on little ones. I remember going to a vacation home a lot as a child... it was always the same cabin.. but BOTH of my parents were always there, and I loved it. I think it's different when the entire family moves as a unit then when it's a child of divorce being uprooted each week. My husband was just gone for a week to his father's funeral in the Netherlands and during that time my 12 month old threw fits several times a day . . . (read rest of post )

what to do all day with 14 mo. old?

Dear Erin, I would suggest you go to the sample schedules in the back of MOTH and look at other children's schedules who are one year old. I think you will find some ideas there for your baby's schedule. Often for our babies, they were simply doing whatever I was doing. If I was doing school, they were playing on the floor near us. If I was folding laundry, they were playing beside me . . . (read rest of post )

scheduling problems

Dear Supermaam, I found with our schedule that I could make up a schedule for the school year and it generally it didn't need to be readjusted until summer - that included the time when I had five children ages 7 and under. If nap needs changed mid year, I would simply adjust that part of the schedule. In your example, I would put the 3 year old to bed later or get him up earlier so that he would take/need the length nap you want for the afternoon . . . (read rest of post )

Struggling with one year old

I am struggling with my one year old's day. My dd is 16 mos. and I'm having a hard time directing her. Playpen time is a problem - after 13 months of consistent twice a day playpen time she only screams and never touches her toys. Stroller rides are a disaster. I have kidded that it's "stroller training," but it's not funny when she's arching her back and leaning halfway out of the stroller or worse yet turning around and somehow standing up so that I have to carry her for her safety . . .

Struggling with one year old

I have a question. Where are you when she has play pen time? In a different room? Is she alone in a room or can she see you at all? I'm looking at your schedule and I'm thinking that you are probably in the kitchen doing some sort of meal prep. Without knowing who else is doing what, would it be possible to move the play pen into the kitchen or by it and give her some sort of play dishes and talk to her as you prepare the meal . . .

Struggling with one year old

For outings, how about a baby backpack? My now 2 1/2 y ds went through that stage. He really preferred to be eye level with momma and safely behind her. Think about it from a one year olds' perspective - being pushed rapidly into oncoming strangers and not being able to see momma. A side benefit - my dh would much more willingly carry ds in a backpack than push him in the stroller (more manly, i guess) How is your bedtime routine? Does she have a specific routine of her own or is dd kind of getting lost in the shuffle of everybody getting ready for bed at the same time? I remember ds fighting sleep . . . (read rest of post )

Activities & toys for one year old during sibling time

I have my 11 month old son scheduled for time with his sisters during morning lessons; they each have one half hour with him. I am looking for activities they can do together in his bedroom. Later they will be able to take him downstairs but right now I can see the stairs as being a big interruption to our lessons.

Update on Abby!!!

At first I couldn't believe it, but it is starting to sink in that our baby #4 (who is now 18 months) is FINALLY settling back into a predictable routine. I am filled with thankfulness!

Her playpen and sibling times were also not going well . . . (read rest of post )

Advice on scheduling of "My Father's World"

Dear mom2sweet4, I do not have experience scheduling two MFW curriculums and preschoolers. I DO have experience scheduling MFW K with a K child and younger ones. I think this might benefit. You can schedule this curriculum several different ways. 1.) block off time to work with your k child alone while the preschoolers are occupied. 2.) block off time to do the phonics/writing/ math/workbook with your k child alone and include the younger ones in the activity guide portion . . .

school with K and 2nd grader in the fall...

There are a few things I have tried. Schedule a tape listening alone time with one while you work with the other. Have one one look at books, color, play with legos while you work with the other. We have a unique phonics program in our house. Dad gives the kids a bath and we have always had those letters that stick to the tub.

Schedule during crisis

I just wanted to share a word of praise and encouragement. Our one year old ds just had surgery a little over a week ago. Things were more difficult than we anticipated. We ended up at the hospital more than home and I spent all my waking time caring for him. Our schedule was an anchor that the Lord used in our lives. The children knew what to do and basically kept things going without me; I could just focus on taking care of baby . . . (read rest of post )

My heart goes out to you! We have seven students and a one year old as well. Could you go back to your worksheet and pray over it? First ask the Lord what is of eternal value in your schedule, then ask Him what is physically necessary (meals, laundry etc.) for the family to survive. After that ask the Lord to give you HIS priorities, and go through your list ranking the things you have written down . . . (read rest of post )

How do you schedule gardening and canning.....

Hi, I am brand new to MOTHboard and have not even started my schedule, although it is nearly ready to go. I can and freeze every year, and it is soooooooooooooo time consuming. Since I have not started my schedule yet, I am not sure how it would work in, but I think what may happen is that on canning days, the whole afternoon or evening would be taken on canning days, and it would be kids can help, watch a video, play with Dad or freeplay, instead of the normal schedule if you are busy and not able to implement it . . .

Scheduling 16 mth old who doesn't know how to sleep without nursing :(

Teri (Maxwell) -- poster put in the title that the baby is 16 months if that helps any. I second the working on the daytime before worrying about the nighttime. For one thing, you will need all your energy to be consistent during the day and so getting your baby back to sleep quickly during the night will be essential for now. Once you have the daytime habits in place, you will feel up to being consistent on the nighttime . . . (read rest of post )
