Of course, I think my situation is way way wayyyy worse than yours. Maybe it is just all the new changes. Brother was really antsy before Jelly Bean was born. But after, he did calm down quite a bit. <BR/><BR/>And I am going to steal Jess's idea about the list!

Kind of like time-out, but not "x minutes in your room," more like "you can come out when you can speak nicely and treat other people well" (I say it in a kind and understanding voice, like "this happens to all of us sometimes, and this is what we do when it happens." This also buys ME time by MYself when I'M not speaking nicely!)Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304408055161689399.post-57577642272619978712008-06-11T14:12:00.000-04:002008-06-11T14:12:00.000-04:00Oh, poor Lucy.Oooooh, poor you.

I think she was testing me more than usual because I was tired and slow (and because that's what 4-year olds do). Things got much better after E. was born.Nowheymamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977594440010163078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304408055161689399.post-24932836386595996332008-06-11T12:58:00.000-04:002008-06-11T12:58:00.000-04:00Poor Lucy!

I'm impressed with what a throwing-up champ she is.<BR/><BR/>For Bud, I don't know if this will work but I can tell you what my parents did that worked very effectively for my sister and me. They made a list of privileges that we had, and the list stayed on the fridge. They were increasing order of importance and personalized to us individually (so my sister had TV as more important on her list because she watched it a lot more than I did). Our gymnastics lessons were the very last thing on the list. Every time we did something that had a consequence, we lost the next privilege on the list. It re-set every week.<BR/><BR/>I know it sounds complicated, but it really worked for us because consequences were clear and consistent and we always knew what was coming. There couldn't be arguing and the limits were extremely visible. It made it a lot easier to think, even at age four, "If I do this, then I'll won't get to do that." It was very effective.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942269316108576622noreply@blogger.com
