[quote=Anonymous]The Smithsonian daycare center had this policy maybe 8 years ago, don't know if they still do. DH and I loved the place except for this, because although we're not strict disciplinarians, stop using the word "no" and pretty soon you're negotiating over every cookie. YMMV. Anyway, here is what they used to suggest. Instead of saying "no" you had to say "use your walking feet." Instead of saying "don't scream in the house" you were supposed to say "indoor voices, please." It's not hard to think of creative alternatives, the only problem for you will be that your own kid will wonder why you're treating this other kid differently.[/quote]
