[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, my 6 year old gets one warning, then loses whatever thing is distracting her. But remember, it really is distraction. They're still so young and it's absolutely developmentally normal. But we've had many conversations about it and she knows that I'll follow through if she makes the choice to continue to ignore me. When I warn her I make sure to remind her of the consequence - "Larla, I already asked you to stop play with those Legos and brush your teeth. Get up right now and do it, or I'm taking the Legos for a week." Then take them. No second chance, no "I need another second." Now means now, if you are already didn't listen the first time. And if they holler and whine and cry, too bad. Follow through with the consequence and make them swift and painful (reasonably so) for her. [/quote]
