[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience the people who say this stuff are actually trying to talk and negotiate with 3 year olds like they’re adults. It never ends and of course it’s exhausting. Usually they don’t realize how ridiculous they’re being. It is what it is. [/quote]

now that my kid is older and we’ve gotten parenting therapy for other issues, I’ve really seen how BAD so many people are at parenting. I don’t blame them. it’s hard to do properly and nobody really teaches it. Most of the popular culture on parenting encourages parents to be really permissive and ineffective. [/quote]

Can you give us some tidbits that you've learned in your parenting therapy?  Sometimes I feel like I'm being really bad at parenting when my kid is acting up and I don't know if I should be bringing down the iron fist and making sure he knows who is boss, distracting him in hopes he'll forget about his outburst and move on, giving in because I realize halfway through his yelling that his request was pretty reasonable and I don't actually care if he does XYZ that he's asking to do.... I just feel like I need to be consistent and I suck.[/quote]
