Parents, you know you’ve done it. You’ve given a threat to your child hoping it
would break the monotonous strong willed fit.
A threat you just knew would
stop the madness. And then it
happens. Your child acts as if you
hadn’t spoken a word. They continue down
the path of disobedience with no chance of letting down.
It took me forever to think of an example because my
children are perfect (sarcastic).
Ok. Here’s one. One of my daughters decided to hold her
ground on a wrong behavior. After several
attempts to give her choices to change her mind, I threw out, “If you don’t stop, you will not
get to go to your friend’s birthday party.”
I know, Ridiculous! But, I really thought it would work. So when she decided to ignore my request, I
had a decision. Do I make her stay home
from a birthday party? Do I affect
another child that had nothing to do with this punishment?
