[quote=Anonymous]It takes about 30 times for someone to see the results of a choice - so switching up things means you won't see results. Currently it seems like she screams or bangs and you feel the need to change course, so she sees that strategy as successful. "I will come out when you are quiet - let's take ten belly breaths together now" rinse and repeat. As soon as she stops screaming you come out. The time will shorten for the screaming over time as she sees that you don't come when she screams but come immediately when it is quiet.

She is exerting control - which is good and normal. Can you try to phrase things in the affirmative (and I am not a don't say no it damages kids believer, but I do believe you can win the game against toddlers).  So not, don't step on the food, but " can you take two monster hops to the fridge - in the direction away from the food ?? Great work! Do you want to sweep the crackers up or use the dust buster? Great choice. Basically limit the times she can defy you by not telling her what will piss you off.[/quote]
