[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've found that saying "no" brings one unpleasant response but saying "Yes, after dinner" or "Yes, when you're better at listening" or "Yes, tomorrow after your nap" brings a much more pleasant response.[/quote] This doesn't work for us because she sees it as the equivalent of no. She wants to go outside and play but its time to eat dinner, we say "Yes, we'll go outside to play after dinner" and she tantrums. Sometimes we can compromise and do something like eat dinner outside and we do that when we can and sometimes it avoids the tantrum but not always because we still aren't playing outside but instead we are eating dinner outside. We've tried play outside for 5 minutes and then eat dinner and that just causes the tantrum 5 minutes later.[/quote]
