[quote=Anonymous]Help! I’m having a hard time getting my 6yo kid to come in from playing at the end of the day. I need strategies, please! Trouble is, if I call her in for dinner, she rushes through it thinking she can go back outside. If I tell her she needs to sit and eat, playtime is over, I get an overtired tantrum. If the issue is it’s time to come in and shower, I get crying and begging and pleading and “10 more minutes, pleeease?” If I then punish from playing the next day, I have a day of crying and pleading with me to let her out. I’m a single mom, and I admit most of this is my own fault. Giving in has been easier than fighting. But summer hasn’t even begun and I’m already exhausted from the begging and crying. The other kids, when their mom calls them, just head home and go in. I get, “But mom, pleeease, 10 more minutes?” and worse pouting if she is made to come inside. I need firmer rules, I know. I’m lost as to how to set them up now! Please, help! [/quote]
