[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 170094, member: 1233"] I have long wondered WHY car dealerships are set up to be so uncomfortable for kids?? Cause all of them are. They may have a small play area, but they really do not have a child-friendly atmosphere. And many of them here advertise aimed at families, they have "events" for families, and kids are totally uncomfortable there!!! We even were in one where the staff refused to let kids shows be on the giant screen tv (literally as tall as I am - and I am 5'0" short!). It wasn't because other customers - there was only 1 other customer, and it was a single parent with a child in tow!!! Even with them joining in my request, it was denied!! While husband really wanted a car they had, I wouldn't stay, and told him if he bought one from them he could live in it!! (I was pi$$ed off, as you can imagine!). I strongly suggest reading the book "Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood". It is excellent. They also have a book on L&L for kids with special needs which might be helpful to read. Explosive Child is great, but this book has other tools which are also very helpful. I think Star expressed things beautifully. She probably nailed what was going on in his head. Something to think about, in my opinion. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
