[quote=Anonymous]Kids are allowed to feel their feelings while also following house rules and not being rude. I also try not to set up my kids for failure but knowing what they are capable of. And where did he learn the eye rolling? 
For those that say it wont be tolerated, what would do right after it happens? What is the consequence? 
My 5 year old dd can be spirited but i know that she cannot go to ber room and pick out clothes in the am. Its too stressful in the am. So we pick the day before, if she doesn't like it in the am she can go change them but she never does. She now even reminds me at bedtime to get clothes from her room (she is in an upstairs bedroom and gets dressed in her baby sisters room downstairs) because she knows itll make for a better morning. I get sass back sometimes and i acknowledged that shes is feeling angry or frustrated or sad and remind her not to be rude and go to another room and calm down or ask of she needs something shes not getting. So more and more she will say she is in a bad mood when she is and can she go to her room and be away from us. A lot of my parenting is reminding that is can be in control of a lot of her life and emotions and Im there to help her and not control her.  Safety comes first of course but we don't run into issues woth that much. [/quote]
