[quote=Anonymous]First of all, the fact that you asked this question means you are a good parent. The ages of your kids are the absolute worst - especially the older one. We called them the f$&ing four's. Everything was a power struggle. No was an automatic response and she learned to argue so early. Mine responded to choices at that age. For example, to get her in the bath..."It's bath time. Do you want ice cubes or glow sticks in the bath tonight?" Choosing an option means she also makes the decision to get in the bath. "It's time to get dressed. Do you want your pink dress or your rainbow dress?" Choosing a dress means she is also choosing to get dressed. I know...it's absolutely exhausting. Power through! It won't last forever. [/quote]
