[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 251515, member: 5663"] GCVMom - yep, I do exactly what you're saying about pre-warning her about what's to come next, how long she has to do X, that she can or can't have something before the temptation isn't even there (like asking for a toy every single time we go to Target, darn $1 spot!). Generally it works well. It's the after she's hit the wall and is worked up is what I'm confused about. I can do preventive stuff all day long, and be totally calm about things, but there is always something once or twice a week that makes her get like this. If you don't want them hurting themselves or damaging the house, and it's "bad" to keep them in their room, what other options are there? I refuse to let her make the rules! Like if she knows she's not supposed to go in my room, and keeps doing it, I'll pull her out over and over until she stays out. Sure, I could lock the door but then that keeps ME out and makes it worse for me because maybe I'm doing laundry or something that I need to keep going in and out. I want her to learn respect, not how to pick locks. No offense to anybody - because so many of you have it worse that I do, but I feel like I'm getting mixed instructions. Don't force them into their room, but don't let them rule the roost. Fine, but where is that solution between that my child will actually obey? If I need her out of my hair for fear that I'll strangle her (not really, but you know what I mean), what other options are there than keep her in her room until we've both calmed down? [/QUOTE]
