3. "Our 3 year old son just began daycare. He prefers to play with the girls and joins in when they play dress up. At home, we’ve found him playing with his sister’s dolls instead of his own toys. We’re worried that the other kids will make fun of him for acting like a girl.”• explain what is going on developmentally 3 year old son prefers to play with girls in the daycare and play with his sister's doll athome. The reason of the son act like that is because he still unsure about his gender identity.• advise what to do to promote optimal development and whyThe parents don't need to do anything for change their son to play with boy, because the son don't want to play alone at home and his sister have a clear gender identity andprefer to play girl's toy, the boy play the doll for play with somebody. And in the daycare, the son knows how to play with girl and he just chooses a environment which make him feels like playing with his sister.• let them know what they might expectAs long as their son growing up, maybe, he would sure that his gender identity is males and he would have more same gender friends, then he would change to play with boys and prefer boy's toys. But if that is not happen, it is fine that he thinks his gender identity is girl.4. “Friends call my two and a half year old daughter, a “spirited child”, but it’s more like she loses control when she doesn’t get exactly what she wants, when she wants it.I am just about at the end of my rope and am afraid to take her out in public because
she will inevitably throw a tantrum. Why is she like this and what can I do to make her behave?”• explain what is going on developmentallyThe daughter tries to get attention and she is not trained well. So she needs to be educated. The parents buying things to the kid every time, which is positive reinforcement to make daughter loses control every time when she did not get what she wants.• advise what to do to promote optimal development and whyHer parents should stop giving her whatever she wants for make her understanding that she would not get what she wants even she is losing control, which means stop the positive reinforcement.• let them know what they might expectAfter the parents stop response for her lose control, she would understand that it is useless that being lose control for getting the things she wants. Then she would not beannoying when she does not get whatever she wants.
