[quote=Anonymous]I think it is really hard now, and sticking to a posted visual schedule can help, along with using timers. I am a big fan of 123 Magic, but your child has to have the cognitive understanding of it and you have to be very consistent. Read upon logical consequences. Read books to your kid about kids or cartoon animals who learn to follow directions. Talk about feelings when there is not an issue happening and role play how to cooperate, even when you don’t want to. TV can be very addictive for some kids, and you just have to hold the limit. Keep some distracting, special things on hand to whip out when you see a tantrum coming on to redirect before it hits. “Since TV time os over, we will have to blow these bubbles in the back yard and see if we can blow them over the fence!” Humor and challenges like blow over the fence are effective at this age.
