It sounds like the additional nap is making a world of difference and I'm sure he will be ready to be reintroduced to the cylinders in no time!Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192829947925510739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-501824432676733753.post-53119915816246866532011-07-17T09:22:32.432-07:002011-07-17T09:22:32.432-07:00Thanks very much.

I've removed the cylinders for now and added another nap to his day and he is doing much better. I think he's ready to be reintroduced to them soon.<br /><br />Thanks for your help!Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917161378121548777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-501824432676733753.post-39006714354754304122011-06-29T20:22:56.503-07:002011-06-29T20:22:56.503-07:00What a determined little boy you have! If your so...What a determined little boy you have! If your son is still wanting to continue the activity even after you have gently suggested he try something else, I would simply point to the correct hole to give him some subtle guidance to ease his frustration. It is important not to say anything, just a gentle, guiding finger should suffice. If he gets frustrated with several of the cylinders, I would continue to simply point at the correct hole but make a mental note that he is maybe not quite ready for the cylinders. At the end of the day, I would simply remove the cylinders from the shelf and in a few weeks try again. I hope my response is helpful!Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192829947925510739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-501824432676733753.post-73003796939863825612011-06-24T18:50:19.025-07:002011-06-24T18:50:19.025-07:00How adorable!
I have a question relating to these...How adorable!<br /><br />I have a question relating to these cylinders. My son who is 2 got quite frustrated when working with these the other day and started to cry when he couldn't get the cylinder to fit. I softly told him he should work on something else but he refused determined to continue even though it was making him upset. What should I do in this situation? Help him, insist he go onto something different or allow him to continue?Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917161378121548777noreply@blogger.com
