He is not allowed to get away with this behavior, but that doesn't stop him from continually trying."<br /><br />Thank you! This point is seriously missing in things I read and people I talk to. We can spend all day correcting a child and at the end of it, they'll still find another button to push or battle to wage. And it's not due to the parent being permissive or non-corrective! <br />Lately mine have thought they could perform tricks while standing on their little step-stools.

He is argumentative, and strong-willed at times! and today was one of those days! It would be so much easier to just give up and give in, but, I know that would only hurt the both of us in the long run and his future even more so! So, I deal with it, and pray, and pray and pray :) And boy, it is tiring :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
