[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 6 we did loss of screen time for X amount of time, loss of dessert, or going to bed 30 mins earlier. I have never taken away my kids lovey, I think that’s mean personally. My DD is 9 now and I’ve still never taken away the lovey. How long does hair styling take that she has to sit for every morning? [/quote]

This is OP. I also think it’s mean to take away the lovey and I did convince DH to give it back. He does not agree that it is mean, but he did return it and agreed not to use it as a consequence.

It usually takes 5-10 minutes to do her hair, depending on what she asks me to do. I would love to just braid it and be done but it’s really how she expresses herself because she hates her school uniform. So I support that as long as she cooperates. [/quote]

Time out, send to room, early bed, no electronics.

Just send her to school without her hair done.  Her choice. [/quote]

I do send her to school without her hair done if she doesn’t sit still for it. She gets one warning and usually that’s enough because she hates going to school without her hair done (and so usually is in full tantrum and has to be carried out the door screaming if it happens, but we do it). I was giving that as an example of an effective consequence. [/quote]

Stop forcing things like teeth brushing.  Give her a time out and enforce it until she agrees to do what she is asked.

Make it clear if she is late for school for a tantrum there will be no electronics for xxx days.[/quote]
