[quote=Anonymous]I think parents who have sensitive kids go through so much to keep their kids happy, but it ultimately bites them in the butt. You had good intentions, but yes I think indulging in the throwing the clothes in the dryer thing creates a demanding type monster. My nephews are indulged like this and they have a hard time when they don't immediately get their way (aka at school). This is a great time to start helping them practice frustration tolerance. You put food on a bluey plate and they ask for a Peppa pig plate. It seems easy to just switch the plates--no big deal in the moment, but indulging their tiny needs makes them unable to deal with bigger problems in the future. For a lot of kids this isn't a big deal, but for sensitive kids, it's just the beginning. This is a perfect time to work on it. Good luck! [/quote]
