[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP and I think this is direct result of maybe two generations of parents who OVER explain and complicate every thing that pertains to their child. There’s never a simple “no!” or a withering look - it’s “Kaden Drake? Friend? Let’s put it down. Kaden? Are you hearing me? Hello? Kaden? Let’s re-think: are you making a good choice? You should go ahead and think about putting it down, mmmkay? Alright, buddy. That’s 1. One. Twooooo. Kaden? Remember what I asked?”

Parents have become wimpy pushovers. Choices given. Questions asked. Zero discipline. Time outs and count downs mean plenty of time to throw a temper tantrum or bargain.

I agree with this. And you see it right here on DCUM - someone posts about how to get their three year old to behave and there are tons of responses that read like "oh, imagine being three and not understanding anything and you're so upset and no one listens to you! You have to listen to them, hug them, let them know you understand their feelings, then redirect them."

No. First time obedience. I say something, you do it, if you don't, you go to your room, or you lose a privilege. We can talk about it later, and address the feelings. But if mom says no, the answer is no, and there will be no negotiation. [/quote]
