[QUOTE="Malika, post: 444361, member: 11227"] J will always agree to ask properly and speak in a normal voice when I ask him - but that still leaves the problem of not giving him what he wants. And if he doesn't get that, the whining begins again... I like this "no, yes, yes" idea. It must mean you have to think quickly on your feet - of two things the child CAN have in that moment. Certainly the word "no" is one that J finds deeply emotionally upsetting... guaranteed to make him wail and shriek as though he has been shot, his body often writhing in shock... Sometimes it just makes me determined to say it, unwilling to have to tread on these eggshells all the time... Oy vey. [/QUOTE]
