[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an idea for you - declare one afternoon a kids choice afternoon - let them pick their own meal, what they want to do that afternoon and just accept it!! See how it goes for you - can you do it? I mean my biggest concern is these kids are adults by 18 and will be making their own choices and you want to raise kids that can gradually grow into that space - controlling them will mean they can never really launch themselves [/quote] Jennifer Garner highlighted a book about Yes Day - I think she does it once a year. She'll say yes to anything all day that her kids ask for as long as it won't kill anyone or start a fire, basically. So, pizza and french fries for breakfast? Yes! Driving the car? Ehhh .... want to go drive go-karts? Yes! Jumping on the beds while blasting music? Yes! [/quote]
