She has to clean her room and help me clean the house before friends can come over. Works like a charm. She knows after many years of impressing it upon her and consequences, that she's expected to pick up her things out of the main areas. She even impressed me with how well she cleaned up her room. You're on the right track, and hopefully he isn't as stubborn as R. is.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533055716012674763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-16585870281115887452010-03-12T13:56:37.093-08:002010-03-12T13:56:37.093-08:00ooooh, we have the same sorts of things happen, bu...ooooh, we have the same sorts of things happen, but now A *really* digs in her heals. My problem is tying it to food - she's so underweight and refuses to eat, but not eating means a meltdown is sure to come, so I try desperately not to associate any task with eating. It's so hard to deal with the "no, I don't want to. You do it." and she doesn't budge. Alas, she got her stubbornness from both her parents, so we don't budge either....I wish you better luck!Cherisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18309835002251352483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-70269849448536779802010-03-12T09:16:40.978-08:002010-03-12T09:16:40.978-08:00You should be proud of yourself for not picking up...You should be proud of yourself for not picking up the crayons yourself after he changed his mind and went outside. I think that was the pivotal point in his little lesson. Pat yourself on the back, you won round #1. :) Lots of rounds to go!We 4 Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057992903280509625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-32093314505738285322010-03-12T08:10:28.557-08:002010-03-12T08:10:28.557-08:00Since you asked him to pick up the crayons before ...Since you asked him to pick up the crayons before doing the other fun thing he wanted to do, he probably figured out (or will figure out) that when you ask him to do something, he's going to have to do it eventually. If he had refused the second time, and gone back outside to play instead of going on the walk, then you might have been in for a fun time...<br /><br />(Then again, maybe he just wasn't that hungry...)Criss L.

Not cool. She ended up caving and picked up her sippy but I don't expect it to always be that way so I'm pondering strategies in advance...<br /><br />Have fun on your trip!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14018918218082501818noreply@blogger.com
