I'm so glad that...The Quiet Bag is a great idea! <br /><br />I'm so glad that people are talking<br />about how to train little ones to entertain themselves quietly in situations where silence is called for. I'm glad that practical ideas like this one are being shared. <br /><br />I think many moms need help in this area; I've talked to quite a few who don't even know that young children can be taught to sit still and quietly entertain themselves. Since they don't even have it as a goal in their minds, they are caught unprepared in situations where it's necessary for little ones to silent. <br /><br />As an old dinosaur, I can remember being taught this from a very young age. It worked, except for one time when I was about three. A little friend of mine was sitting next to her mom and I, next to mine. She randomly leaned over to me and told me, in a voice loud enough for the whole church to hear, excatly how old her mother was. It's a funny thing, but for several years after that, my mother never told me exactly how old <i>she</i> was. LOL.<br /><br />I am sympathetic here. From having young children of my own, I know that helping healthy, energetic, toddlers and preschoolders be appropriately quiet can be challenging! But, it's well worth the effort. It's not only considerate of others, it teaches children valuable lessons about respect, concentration, and self-control.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429722263321739095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-4060911975768297082006-12-20T11:42:00.000-05:002006-12-20T11:42:00.000-05:00I know what you mean about so many wonderful blogs...I know what you mean about so many wonderful blogs!!!<br /><br />Hoping this comment goes through, I have been reading, but blogger hasn't let me comment for awhile on your blog:(<br /><br />Julieann:)Julieannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11366445046704238024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-16537853508296181172006-12-19T22:13:00.000-05:002006-12-19T22:13:00.000-05:00Hi Kelli!!!
