[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 45316, member: 3419"] Ditto. I, too, wrestle with-the conflict between blatant defiance, and whether to avoid a meltdown. Now that my difficult child is older, I can delay the consequences, and say, "You are not behaving right now. I will do this for you (ie go back to look) but it will cost you a whole day of videos. Is it worth it?" Now, a 6-yr-old probably can't negotiate that, so I don't know what to offer. Sosososososo sorry that the bracelet was still at home! Can you get her to do something special for you, since she inconvenienced you and she had the bracelet all along? I have difficult child write "I'm sorry for throwing a fit at the mall," 10X once he's calmed down. At any rate, been there, done that. So sorry. [/QUOTE]
