[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It took me SO LONG to just have no reaction in this type of situation. I'm still not perfect, but getting much better. In a calm, even tone, "I'm sorry we are out of waffles. I will put them on the shopping list. Would you like X, Y, or Z instead? No? Okay, its up to you." Then I might toss an extra something in the lunch box just in case. And move on. [/quote] This is the best way to handle. Believe me, it's HARD in the moment when the child is screaming but eventually they will get it out of their system and move on. And if they eat nothing, it won't kill them.[/quote] Agree with both PPs. It is hard in the moment, to 1) not lose your cool 2) not scramble to try to please them somehow But the reaction listed it the most effective IMO[/quote]
