[quote=Anonymous]You have to be consistent. If you sometimes give in and let her stay out longer, then she will push and whine every single day. So either set a schedule that she has to be in at the same time every day, or explain that she comes in right away or no playing tomorrow. And then stick to it. Remind her that if she doesn’t come in, she can’t play outside tomorrow. My son was the same way about leaving playgrounds or the pool. I’d give him several warning (10 mins, 5 min etc) but he would run away from me and I’d be chasing after him with a younger sibling. So I told him if he doesn’t leave when it’s time, we won’t go back. I explained I can’t get him down off the equipment or out of the pool when I’m holding the baby, so we will have to stay at home. It only took a couple of times for him to know I was serious. He does still whine a little, but he walks willingly to the car instead of me having to drag him kicking and screaming.[/quote]
