[quote=Anonymous]I used to tell myself -- learning to regulate is an important part of maturing (we used a goofy thing where I would hold up my finger and tell my daughter to 'blow out the candle' which would force her to breather).... but also would really really remind myself that caving or giving in to bad behavior only teaches your child that it "works." so once she was old enough to understand I would literally just tell her "I said no, and you know _____ (whining, crying, sulking) has no chance of changing my mind"[/quote]
