[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be annoyed if a kid repeatedly asked for something. My kids know “asked and answered.” I’m guessing that girls parents frequently give in if she persists, so she knows she just has to keep going. Intermittent reinforcement works for lab rats and motivated children ;) I would sweetly teach her that in our house once you asked and I’ve answered I’m not changing my mind. I would also put away the box so it wasn’t tempting her and I would be fine giving chips if I had them even if hadn’t really planned on it. [/quote] +100[/quote]
