      Kelley Wilkinson replies: This depends on your family situation and the personality of the child. At Preschool Pals, in a two-day class, the core of the curriculum is taught and practiced. The third day offers new activities that help the child further practice what they learned during the first two days.

        Kelley Wilkinson shared a few ideas:
        *If you’re at the store and your child asks you to buy something, try saying “not today” instead of “no.”
        *If your child wants to play while you are busy, try telling them, “we will (read books) in five minutes if you wait patiently.”
        *Share the schedule with your child, like this, “First we will (list what you need done), then we can (list what child wants to be done).
