[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leave Herat home next time. Tell her kids who pee their pants can’t go to the park. [/quote]

Nope. This is the wrong approach. Being punitive and petty will result in more defiant behavior. Plus this consequence is way way too far in the future to be effective. The people saying that you need to stay at the park abd not reward the behavior are right on.

Nope. Kids need limits and the sooner they learn them, the better for everyone. [/quote]

We’re not saying they don’t.  But if the next trip to the park isn’t later that day or the next afternoon, it’s too far to connect.  Consequences need to be clearly linked; sitting in per pants after you peed on purpose does that.[/quote]

Plus leaving early punishes her sister. You are both rewarding her bratty behavior in the moment AND punishing her sister by cutting short her play date. That’s giving her a lot of power.

Suppose you’re going to the playground again the very next day. Now there aren’t other kids there so the sister gets punished again by having to go alone. Also, who is going to watch your 5 year old while you take her older sister to the playground? Are you really getting a sitter for this? That punishes ME. It turns an easy playground run into a hassle I need to coordinate with a sitter AND pay extra for. This is the type of knee-jerk solution that sounds good to threaten but is very impractical. It’s a rookie mistake.

Leave her with her dad and have fun with the other sibling. You guys need help to figure this out? Your kids are doomed. [/quote]
