[quote=Anonymous]I would love to be more fun with my kid, but I feel like she’s insatiable and if I start fun things, she is Whitney when we need ti stop. I saw the post about watching funny YouTube videos, and I’d love to do that with my kid for 20 minutes, but she would whine when it was time to go to bed. Same thing with treats, being silly, and other fun stuff. I want to do that stuff, but she doesn’t have an “off button” and when it’s time to switch gears and get ready for school, eat dinner, practice an instrument or transition to any less fun activity, she whines. So I’m less fun than I want to be! I’ve tried to explain this to her (she’s 7), but it doesn’t really help. Whenever I think, “ohhhh, we have 20 minutes and I would love to do something fun,” my next thought is about the ensuing fight when it’s time to move on to a less fun activity. [/quote]
