It ...I'm a firm believer in consequences too. It saves a whole of stress... and my vocal cords! You don't want to clean up your toys? Okay, no problem. Which actually means: no problem for ME - big possible problem for you. So, if the child chooses to not obey, then no, I'm sorry mommy cannot read you another book because I will need the time to clean up your mess, that you refused to clean up when I asked. I think the child can very easily connect this concept -- mommy only has so much time, and if she has to spend it doing the things we don't do when we are asked - no fun mom. And I don't have to force a child to stay in time out, or yell... it's just very simple action - consequence. <br /><br />Of course, there are different rules for really big things. I will not tolerate outright rudeness or defiance. My children know they can disagree, be frustrated, or even angry: but they have to always be respectful.LA Botcharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045857399816360885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332235454173435701.post-9816967120305115532014-04-09T20:06:12.686-07:002014-04-09T20:06:12.686-07:00I agree with you on that kind of discipline.

My daughter's 4 and I'm already a bit freaked about those big issues that are to come! Abbyhttp://www.truebelovedblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
