[quote=Anonymous]Check out How to Talk So Little Kids will Listen The people counseling force are well-intentioned, but as you noticed by 5 you are very much dealing with another person. That means every interaction like you described has two purposes: 1) elicit coopération and 2) model social skills. Of course there have to be times when what you say goes period, but do you really want to escalate every interaction to a power struggle? Or do you want to teach your kids how to lead with grace, humor, empathy, and charisma? I’ve used the tips from that book as well as No-Drama Discipline, Listen, and other similar resources. There’s very little drama in our family as a result and I just don’t give the kids grounds for defiance. I want them to learn what it means to belong to a family. If I wanted them to be little robots I would send them to military school.[/quote]
