[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Expect - and get - compliance or nagging just becomes background noise. Give fewer commands. [b]The word “careful” for instance is meaningless to a kid.[/b] [/quote] What do you mean by this? I think my kid knows what "careful" means and using it helps me correct less. Like we use it when we just want her to think about what she's doing. So like she'll be riding her park around the park and I'll stop her and say "I'd like you to ride more carefully" and she knows this means to slow down a bit and pay closer attention to where she is going. It kind of forces her to take more responsibility for what she's doing with out me being like "slow down! Do you see that other kid? Don't ride right there, it's to crowded!" And so on.[/quote]
