[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS has become contrary about everything. Examples: Me: it’s lunch time DS: no, it’s not lunch time Me: do you want to wait a few minutes DS: I don’t want to wait. I want lunch now. Me: we’re having you favorite noodles DS: no, we’re not. Me: we are. See? DS: those are not noodles. We do this all fricking day. “Look! There’s the trash truck”. “That’s not a trash truck.” When does this end?!! [/quote] Stop engaging. You: It's lunchtime. Child: No it's not. You: Child won't know how to respond. You put lunch on the table. If he's hungry, he'll eat. If not, he'll wait. Stop making statements that aren't necessary. Ask questions that allow him to show you what he knows, like "What's that? I think I hear something." Also, give more choices. This is a cry for independence.[/quote]
