How to Further Challenge My Gifted 3 Year Old

My daughter is 3 years old and is very gifted in the area of letters and reading. Before she turned 2 years old she surprised one day. She pointed to a letter in a book and told me what it was. I never knew that she could recognize her ABC's-only say them. Then, I asked her what another letter was and she told me that one also. I randomly asked her what the letters I was pointing to were and she almost knew the whole alphabet.

My 4-Year-old Constantly Wants Me to Play with Her: Advice?

Hi, Just wondering how other moms have responded to their young kids when they want you to play with them. Lately my 4-year-old daughter is constantly asking me to play with her (usually pretend-play), and gets upset when I have to do other things like housework. She seems to have lost the ability to entertain herself, and it's driving me a bit crazy. She has a younger brother (19 months), but he's too young to really play with her the way that she wants to. Any ideas on what to do?

My 3 Year Old Has a Friend Who Encourages Bad Behavior

My daughter goes to daycare and the last couple of months she has been playing almost exclusively with one particular little girl. As I see it, the girl decided they would be friends and now they are. Before this, DD would play with other kids all day. Now, only this one. That would be fine with me, except this girl is bossy. She speaks for my daughter ("We like jaguars. We want a Spiderman cake. "), directs all of their activities, and encourages her to ignore the teacher. I got a talking to by both teachers about how DD was kept...
