[quote=Anonymous]There's no reason to yell at a kid who is going to slow. Natural consequences are available--he goes out to the bus in pajamas, or he walks to school. More important, what are you yelling when you yell at him. "HURRY UP, I CAN'T DRIVE YOU TODAY" or "WHY ARE YOU SUCH A SLOWPOKE? I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU AT ALL"? He does need to understand that abuse is about power. A 2 year old has no power over him (except the power you give her); she's not "abusing" him. But his overall feeling may be reasonable, depending on what you're saying and how often you're saying it. [/quote]
