[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] She is completely uncooperative with: getting dressed, going to the potty when it wasn't her idea (ie: if its bedtime or we're leaving the house), getting undressed, getting in carseat, getting on sunscreen, picking up toys, coming to the meal table. [/quote] Getting Dressed - Give her 2 choices. She can decide between the two, or you can make the choice for her. Going Potty - Give her 2 choices - Either she goes potty or she gets a diaper. Picking up Toys - Either she picks them up, or you do and they go away. Table to Eat - Either she comes to the table to eat or she doesn't eat. She won't go hungry, she'll most likely miss a meal (or two if she's really stubborn). You are the parent, you've given her FAR too much control. She's 4. Yes she should be given the privilege of making some decisions, but ultimately you are the parent - you have final say.[/quote]
