[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP with the 13yo. Thought of something else that has worked too. Ive a labeled her behavior as a choice she’s making. So one time she argued about changing clothes for a somewhat dressy event, tears etc. made us late. All I was asking was for non athletic clothing. As she got in the car I said to her “ I’ve asked u to change and that’s what youre wearing? That’s the choice u made?” Got a sullen nod. We went to the event. On the way home she asked me to go to Dicks as I had said earlier in the day we might. So I calmly looked at her and said no. When she asked why I told her I was choosing not to. I reminded her she made a choice earlier and now I’m making a choice too. I could tell she was seething but she didn’t say a word. No if she starts acting up I’ll say “ is that the choice you’re making?” She knows I’ll come back with my own choice that she won’t like. [/quote] That is petty and manipulative and un helpful.
