[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 403282"] Kiddo tries to negotiate a lot more now. She doesn't always hold up her end of it, but it sure beats a tantrum off the bat. She actually applied that skill to a new issue last night. We were reading a dinosaur book together, and she asked what "impale" means. There was a fork right there, so I grabbed it an motioned over my arm how it's different from a slashing motion and she flipped out thinking I was going to "impale" myself on the fork. She calmed down pretty quick and said "Next time I ask, if it's something gory that might upset me, would you tell me that it might upset me first and let me decide if I really want to know?" I couldn't say no to that request and told her I was proud of her for appropriately making her request. [/QUOTE]
