[quote=Anonymous]Just want to add that I think it’s not uncommon for kids to have this kind of outsized reaction to what might have been a totally legitimate request. My kid also does this and therapist has advised just to be firm and not emotional about it. Of course assess whether the request/rule was reasonable but don’t assume that just because her reaction was strong it’s necessarily a legitimate critique of the rule. I personally tend to give in too much when the kids complain or criticize because I tend to think that if they are upset they may well have a good point—but that’s not always a good idea. [/quote]
