[quote=Anonymous]Great advise above. And, you cannot win a power struggle with a [insert age of your child here] year old. Read that last sentence again, because they can always outlast you, if they are 5, 10, 15, etc. Best to step out of it - as you are doing! As they get older, you can add, "when you have calmed down and are able to discuss xxx with me, I am happy to do so." You can't give in, or you are teaching them to have the temper-tantrum to get what they want.[/quote]
