[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. She calmly says things like "talk to me nicely" or "do you have something to say?" I just feel like it is to pushy. [/quote] She is modeling good manners and teaching the kids to speak politely and calmly to herself. This is a good thing. It is something they should have learned long before they were 6 and 8 years old. I am teaching my 2 and 3 year old charges the same things and they pretty consistently meet the expectations. At 2 and 3, I'll often rephrase the request and they will try again. I personally don't really like the direction to 'adjust your attitude' because I don't think it is clear enough to the child what the problem is, I would rather ask a child to talk to me nicely like you said she does. Anyway, I don't think those are unreasonable standards to have for your kids at all, especially if many pre-schoolers are learning these things, as you can see from me and the other responses in this thread. Good luck![/quote]
