[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's still upsetting to me. I'm not the OP--my child is nine--but she does it in front of the TV, at night when we're reading her a story...I'm uncomfortable with it. Yes, I've stopped her doing it in public. [/quote] I would just say to her "That's something to do when you're alone, either in your bedroom or the bathroom. Do you want to continue or would you like me to continue reading to you?" [/quote] I don't know if you specifically posted this advice in previous threads on the same topic or someone else, but I would like to thank you. I read this awhile back and am now saying to my 3.5 year old son, not frequently but not not infrequently either. It's direct, clear, non-shaming, and appropriate. It also really works, as I've never, ever seen him run up the stairs so fast before. [/quote]
