[quote=Anonymous]Could you go really simple with this and buy some cool shaped timer or countdown clock and call it the crying timer? Introduce it as a cool new thing. Tell her it's OK to cry for _ minutes, but then after that crying time is over. "You want to cry for a bit right now? Okay let me grab the crying timer. Then count it down. Start with 10 or 15min. Countdown throughout. "There's 5min of crying time left". Hmm what should we do after crying time. Then when crying time is done, either try firmness or leaving - crying time is over. Or reset the timer- oh do you want more crying time? Or make a deal - you get 15min of crying time because you like doing crying time, then mommy gets 15min of quiet time because that's what I like. Talk about fairness.[/quote]
