[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give consequences. Be consistent. Spirited child is an excuse. Don't give empty threats[/quote] What do you mean, spirited child is an excuse? You assume because I say "spirited" I mean undisciplined. Just jump right into the discipline.....which shows that you don't understand the concept of spirited children. Anyone who actually HAS a spirited child who can weigh in?[/quote] I'm not the PP, but, yep, it is generally the case that the kid is undisciplined and spoiled. Maybe your child is the exception to the rule. All healthy children are "spirited," but setting boundaries with them, saying "no" and meaning what you say does not break their spirit but helps them to channel it properly.[/quote]
