I'm inclined to believe that they would both try to take things out of this space and drop them everywhere all over the house. How to you keep this space somewhat contained?austin and kaytihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289575054147240872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-23896037697147897642012-12-17T06:29:26.470-04:002012-12-17T06:29:26.470-04:00I love your peaceful space and will try to make on...I love your peaceful space and will try to make one for my 3,5y old daughter!

Two beautiful books that teach that while anger isn't a wrong emotion, it is how we deal with anger that can be wrong. My son is 3 & we tell him to "go sit with his anger" quite a lot lately. We also encourage to take deep breaths & count. The illustrations by Chirstaine Kromer are beautiful! Well done on creating such a beautiful space for your son!Tracy Gattenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07524387829545313731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-90794660121547404172012-03-21T23:46:05.047-03:002012-03-21T23:46:05.047-03:00What a beautiful space, Mari-Ann!
