Well, Hmmm

This article about three year olds includes a list of "reasonable expectations," which says, among other things, that a three year old:

**COMPLETES 10 PERCENT OF A TASK WITH ATTENTION AND REINFORCING BY AN ADULT; will start a task only when reminded at around three and a half and at that point may be able to complete 10 percent of the task with little input from an adult. 

Maybe I'm the one who needs an attitude adjustment, not Peeper.
