Sometimes I would complain to Papa that it is really tough to teach Sophie anything because she is an impatient toddler with super short attention span. I know toddlers are typically like that but I am an impatient mommy too! It does not help when she seems to have inherited my temperament as well.
Sophie would get frustrated every time she tried to fit the puzzles together because she could not control her fingers well enough to adjust the pieces. She still wanted to do it though. In fact, I think it is a good decision to leave some puzzles on the shelves for her to try every now and then. It is less threatening and she can decide for herself when and for how long she wants to do it.
I love it when she managed to calm herself down and put away the blocks after throwing a fit. Weeks of teaching, practising and nagging finally worked on her. Although she does not always put away her toys after use, she knows she has to and she will do it when she is on a good mood.
