[QUOTE="klmno, post: 263037, member: 3699"] Because you've always stepped in with an easier option that prevents him from having to go through with more difficult steps- and if he waits long enough, someone might step in with an easier option this time, too- especially if they are so worried about him. Think of the kid that holds his breath to get his way. The first time he might hold it for 10 secs. If you give in, the second time the kid might hold his breath for 15 secs waiting for you to give in. After this has happened several times, the kid will hold his breath for 45 secs. Once he learns that it works, he never learns to stop this until you quit giving in and let him pass out. [/QUOTE]
