[quote=Anonymous]You need to push the AP. Tell her the point is not for the kids to LIKE her, that's not her job. Tell her you will back up any discipline she gives the kids as long as it's not physical. And then don't ever critique the way she handles the kids in front of them. If she's telling him to come inside and he's not, she needs to walk over to him and say, without smiling, "Jason. You've been told to come inside. What are you supposed to be doing right now?" and then if he doesn't start moving inside she can tell him "For every minute you don't come inside, that's one minute tomorrow that you'll stand facing the wall doing nothing but thinking about how you'll listen when you're told to do something in the future. Now. Would you like to come inside like you were told?" I do NOT play. I discipline a lot when they're little so when they're older I can relax a little bit.[/quote]
