[quote=Anonymous]When my DD started some of these behaviors - I started a 'patient' version of the golden rule. when she behaves a way i don't like or does things where it seems like she's trying to control me - I say very calmly and flatly something like 'I don't think you'd like it if I threw something on the ground and asked you to pick it up, would you?" and try not to respond otherwise (not to get a big reaction) (and talk about the golden rule at other times - where in our family, we respect people and treat others the way we want to be treated.) And it mostly annoys her enough that she'll do whatever or stop doing whatever... not always, but often. Not sure about the not eating, can't get my DS to eat his lunch most days at all.[/quote]
