[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 9239, member: 1835"] Sunny, I think you're right. I remember one book in particular that was my bible when my son was a newborn, infant, toddler. The writer advocated always allowing your toddler choices, i.e., never say a flat-out "no" unless there was danger involved. I am SO sorry that I listened to and followed that advice as it effectively taught MY son that EVERYTHING was negotiable. I remember my father admonishing me and my husband that we "talked to much" to our son--that we needed to set limits and not discuss them (this was when he was much younger, of course). I thought that was SO older generation of him! I so wish that we had listened to him. When I was growing up, my father only had to give me and my sister a look, and we complied, and he never had to raise his voice or use physical means. We just knew that he said what he meant and meant what he said. Oh, well, water under the bridge... PS They think my son may be bipolar... [/QUOTE]
