It did help us to preface each event with explaining to her exactly what was happening and that mommy and daddy would be right back; (ex: sunday school - we're going to church, you are going to play with your friends in mrs.X's class for 30 min, then we'll be right back to get you).

I personally think it's just a stage and part of her age and growing up!<br />(Although none of that helps during the days you're actually living through it!)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639350934212698122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4457574314754691381.post-75046901646956668962011-01-21T14:04:16.172-06:002011-01-21T14:04:16.172-06:00Well, it sounds like you have a great game plan an...Well, it sounds like you have a great game plan and you're off to a running start. I can't say we've had much behavior changes since Addie came along. I think this is largely due to Rhett and Deacon having a friend with them at all times. That has NOTHING to do with my parenting skills, just God's showing Ryan and me grace. The best advice I can give you is to "let your yes be yes and your no be no." No big revelation there, but it's so much harder than it sounds. She'll learn her limits eventually. Also, don't say "Good-bye!" Say, "I'll see you right after _____." We bribe, too. Please don't tell me this is wrong ;)! For example, "R&D if we get a good report from your teacher you can watch 1 Mickey Mouse Clubhouse after school." That seems to work. We stick with the 1 show so 1. they don't watch too much t.v. and 2. to keep that magical moving picture box, well, magical. There's my novel for you. Like I said, there's nothing new here, but these are the things that work with the boys. Call if you need anything.Ryan and Deminy...https://www.blogger.com/profile/13501393467834462213noreply@blogger.com
