[quote=Anonymous]I would be very direct and give concrete examples instead of abstract ones. Instead of saying "Try something else if they don't listen" say "When they don't listen to 'no', offer to read a book" or "When you feel they are listening take away their toy" etc. Ours is pretty natural with kids but still needed a bit of encouragement with how to handle situations. I told her if they fight over a toy they get 1 warning. If they still fight she is to take the toy away and say 'because you couldn't share, you cannot play with this today". It took 2 times of me doing it but she does it now and the kids are much better as they know she will follow through. She feels more confident knowing it is consistent with what we do and the kids respond well. [/quote]
