[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 474116, member: 3419"] I agree, that our kids ramp up when they finish a task--show, sports, school day, whatever--and then don't know how to turn it off, so keep on going, and then when we put a stop to it, they have a meltdown. Typical. Malika, just chalk it up to experience. (Was there a way you could have suggested he play outside with-the umbrella?) Janet, yes, gumball machines ... when difficult child was a preschooler, I put him in timeout just as we walked into a grocery store. NO QUARTERS. Nothing off the shelves. Period. Of course, a woman comes along and sees him crying in front of the machines and against my wishes--I specficially and explicitly told her he was in time out--she gave him two quarters, which he immediately slid into the machine. He gave me this "Haha, gotcha!" sly sort of look as he did it, too. I think I was angrier with-the woman than I was with-him. [/QUOTE]
