[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Woo woo PP here. I learned to also not show emotion when enforcing consequences. He had an orange chair he had to sit in. When he left it I would pick him up stone faced and place him on it. When I would get outraged (like wtf you dont dare hit ME!) itd be like adding fuel to his fire vs another of my kids getting scared theyd poked the bear so to speak. Just adding this to flesh out we did have consequences for hitting, I didnt just shrug and go oh its his enneagram! Hah[/quote] I don’t know what an enneagram is but I really like the way you wrote your posts so I will look it up. My 4 yo is pretty calm but when she does get upset me staying very calm and using a monotone voice really helps the situation. Sometimes I take deep breaths not facing her so I don’t show her I’m angry but it definitely calms the situation more quickly.[/quote]
