[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 155954, member: 3626"] It's not walking on eggshells, it's just preventing the unnecessary explosions. As you said, he's not a runner and you used humor and words to get him to stand back. To me, you did an excellent job! If we can get our kids to do what is necessary without them melting down, without even a minor battle, a lot has been accomplished. However, if you feel your are walking on eggshells all the time, you're going to end up feeling resentful. It really is a matter of picking your battles and just letting the rest go. At first, it is hard and you do have to rein in your natural inclinations. It becomes easier and more natural. It also stops some major tantrums, gives you a better relationship with your child and, ultimately, gives you more fun time with your child. Good luck! The change in parenting style can make a huge difference in the long run. [/QUOTE]
