[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For starters, don't give a kid what they want when they're demanding something. I require a nice tone and the word please before giving it to them. Sometimes my kids have to try multiple times. "give me the ketchup", -no, try again. (Irritated)"give me the ketchup please"- no, try again. (Nice tone),"can you please give me the ketchup" - yes, here it is. [/quote] This is what we do. My kids recently got into the bad habit of responding to question with “yeah” instead on “yes” or “yes, please”. So when they say “yeah” we ask them to try again. [/quote]
