[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 201845, member: 3907"] Further to what MWM and Marg mentioned, I've found that a firm but flexible structure really helps as well. "Little easy child, you need to be in the bath at 3:00 because we're leaving for Nana's at 4:30" "But Mummy, my favourite show is on then. Can I have my bath at 3:30?" "Yes. But that means no dawdling, and no fussing at bath time. Bath right at 3, no arguments and no negotiating. Got it?." "Got it." "Okay. I'll be in the bathroom at 3, to help you run the bath." Clear unambiguous expectations ahead of time, with all loopholes filled, seems to curtail a LOT of oppositional behaviour on Little easy child's part. I wonder if similar techniques might help with your daughter as well... [/QUOTE]
