[QUOTE="Malika, post: 589715, member: 11227"] Thanks, useful advice! Honestly, I have NO problem with J colouring himself... he can draw tribal patterns all over his body in a rainbow of colours, that's fine by me. I just had a worry (paranoid?) about these things maybe being toxic - they were special kids' ones, so you'd think not. And saying no like that, though I did explain why, probably seemed arbitrary. I'm just not a routine/organised activities kind of person, maybe that's part of the trouble. And I don't think J is a routine/organised activities kind of kid, beyond a certain point. Lots to learn from this, I agree. How to avoid no... yes, it was earlyish morning and I was just reacting spontaneously, I s'pose. All these ideas for not having to say the dread word are good. You can negotiate with J to a [I]certain[/I] degree, particularly with humour. I probably want more of an easy life than is ever going to be on offer... [/QUOTE]
