[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No eye rolling, no huffing, no ignoring, no walking away. Set the standard NOW when it’s easier so you have a good baseline in the teen years when things can get really tough. [/quote]

No eye rolling by you either, no ignoring or disrespectful talking back. Hopefully you follow what you preach and be a robot yourself. [/quote]

I'm the person you are replying to and no...I don't eye roll or ignore people or disrespectfully "talk back" to anyone. if I have a problem with a person or a situation, I deal with it without theatrics. It's not that difficult and it's not robotic. I can certainly get upset and angry. I communicate that in ways that aren't petty or unproductive.[/quote]

I doubt that when something really triggers you that you immediately are calm and act in a fully calculated way. That’s the definition of being upset. But let’s say that hypothetically what you say is true. It’s still a fact that 4y olds pre frontal cortex is not developed and they literally don’t have the self control to internalise “calming down” by themselves yet. They need to let the feelings out.[/quote]
