[QUOTE="Malika, post: 607599, member: 11227"] Hi ravenlotus. I am far from being an expert on the matter, but I'm not sure that the scenario you describe is a real use of Plan B as set out in "The Explosive Child". As I understand it, at a time that is not an emergency (ie when your daughter wants apple and peanut butter but you don't have any), you ask her what it is about not having apple and peanut butter that is so terrible for her, and you really listen to her answer (perhaps asking more questions to get to the bottom of her concerns). You then invite her to find a solution for this problem - for example she might say: Make sure you always have peanut butter and apples! If this is a problem from your side, you need to explain your concern about that, and try to find a mutually agreeable solution (eg you could buy in lots of jars of peanut butter ahead of time but might not always have apples, and would celery be an acceptable substitute).
