[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about having her see the logical (and natural) consequences?" You don't want to wear a coat? Are you sure, it's really cold out? " if she says no, let her go out, and see how cold it is.  Im not saying force her to suffer, if this is a park visit or what have you, maybe it's not the best time to try, or plan on being ok with a VERY short trip. But to run to the car from the house, then the car to school won't hurt her, and is a logical consequence. Pick your battles...what must be done (we must hold hands in a parking lot), and where is it better to let her see for herself what happens when she ignores. [/quote]

OP here. I am usually on board with natural consequences, at this point, it is just becoming a power struggle. I think it sends a pretty clear message when I say "put on your coat" (or whatever else), she says "no" and then I come back with "Ok, see what happens".  I fear that all she will learn is that she gets her way whenever she says no. I really struggle with this one because, honestly, I don't care half the time. I am usually great at picking my battles, this little one is just really testing me. [/quote]
