Dear Care and Feeding,
I am the mother of a very high-energy, spirited 4-year-old daughter, “Annie.” I work part-time, and my husband is her primary caregiver during the day, though she just started morning preschool. Annie can be challenging, as she is fully in the kicking/hitting/biting/ spitting/tantrum toddler phase, but according to her pediatrician, it’s nothing out of the ordinary for her age. We struggled a lot with potty training her.
