[quote=Anonymous]Some things like not cooking for your kid are empty threats that you can't realistically enforce. Whatever I do, I am modeling for my daughter. So if I threaten, she will threaten back and that is not good. You can express disapproval, but then don't tell them if you are punishing them because they just feel worse about themselves which drives more bad behavior. I don't get mad, I get even with things that are good for them like enforce earlier bedtime, serve more vegetables, stop buying junk food, suggest more brushing, flossing and reading books, make appointments for flu shot, covid shot, etc. Sometimes they are actually missing quality time with you and say they hate you because if they can't get positive attention, they will take negative attention.[/quote]
