[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 402682, member: 11001"] Cathy, My daughter has the same tendency to be demanding and wanting things now. One thing that works (sometimes-not always) is to put it in her court. I say things like, " It sounds like you really want that __________. How are you going to get it?" " I cant help you until ____________. How will you help yourself wait until then?" I think you can empathize with him by saying," I know your excited about the scooter and its hard to wait." I wouldn't give in though. They can be so demanding and in your face it is easy to give in-when we do ,we teach them that being demanding is ok. [/QUOTE]
