[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter responds well to humor, so I typically take one of the "Thank you! I'm trying!" routes with a smile and a nudge. She'll usually then do as I ask, making it well known she is not happy. I thank her for being cooperative when she finishes. At a later point, when she's calm, I might bring it up again, generally reiterating my appreciation. "I know you didn't want to take a shower when I asked you to. I appreciate that you did it anyway. Do you want to talk about ways to make it less of a problem in the future?" Usually she'll roll her eyes like what is wrong with me that I'm asking, but sometimes it opens the door for her to express something she couldn't or wouldn't in the moment and that's been really valuable too.[/quote] Lucky you. Humor only further infuriates my daughter. [/quote]
