[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 470431, member: 1514"] I dont think any child under the age of about 7 or 8 would actually be able to completely go through that routine without having a bit of a meltdown. A 4 year old really shouldnt be expected to completely pick up a large number of cards if they drop out of a box like that. He didnt throw the box in anger. It dropped. Even in anger, I would have been on the floor with him helping...Ok J, can you help me pick up all the yellow cards...good job...Now where are all the ones with a blue ball on them. Something like that because I have no clue what the game was. Now if he dropped one car and threw a fit because he didnt want to pick up the ONE car, that is different but if it is a lot of objects, then yes, the parent has to help them organize how to pick up. Its a game of "you pick up and I pick up. Can we race?" [/QUOTE]
