[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem, as I see it, isn't so much that OP punished her child's misbehavior as that OP set her up for that misbehavior by hitting all kinds of 4-year-old trigger points and then punished her for doing exactly the thing that anyone with the vaguest understanding of 4-year-olds would have expected as a result. OP couldn't self-regulate enough to keep from setting her up, but the 4-year-old is supposed to self-regulate enough to not respond? That's a little backwards.[/quote] Exactly. Anyone with an ounce of common sense would have seen this coming from a mile away. OP set up her kid to fail, and then punished her for failing. [/quote]
