[QUOTE="donna723, post: 228609, member: 1883"] I think Linda is on to something about the 'choices'. When you narrow the field, you still get the results you want and they still get some input. Maybe instead of "[I]What do you want for dinner[/I]?", it could be "[I]Would you rather have fried chicken or baked[/I]?" or even "[I]Would you like hamburgers or hot dogs[/I]?" I've heard of parents who laid out two outfits in the morning and let the child choose between just the two instead of having battles over what they would wear. I vividly remember one time when my daughter was very small and I had asked her to decide what she wanted to wear to day care. She decided that she would wear her winter coat (in July in [U]Florida[/U]!), a pair of pink ruffle-butt panties and white sandals - and the fight was on! Note, I only did that ONCE! Maybe you could word it like, "[I]Would you rather take a bath or a shower[/I]?" [/QUOTE]
