[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 171480, member: 1498"] I came to that conclusion partly based on my experiences trying not to trigger my son's temporal lobe seizures and partly based on your narrative. Why did you let her grab your keys? Why did she even think that was something she could get away with doing? Why didn't you make her give them back immediately? No way I'd let my kid take my car keys into a store. Too much risk of them getting lost. Keys aren't toys, kids shouldn't have them. Then you "asked her nicely and firmly to give them back". Huh? As though she had a right to them and you would like to borrow them for awhile? That should have been handled with a simple "Give me the keys" spoken unemotionally and matter-of-factly with every expectation of being handed the keys. [/QUOTE]
