[quote=Anonymous]I, too, love "How to Talk So Kids Will Listen," etc. I like the one where you goofily agree to the hyperbole: "You're right--we should have cookies for dinner! Do we have enough? Please, help me hunt down every cookie in the house...." Sometimes, I also act out situations using whatever's on hand--salt and pepper shaker, etc. The salt calls the pepper to the table, and the pepper goes up to his room and slams the door. We all laugh. Then I say, How do we think this could go better? Or, how does the salt feel when the pepper runs away? I am being driven so nuts with my 5-year-old right now (for different reasons), so the advice here to show love as much as you can is helpful for me, too. Good luck! I hope you get over this hump.
