Parenting 101

Make them choose to obey.
Tiger had a noisy toy.
He was making noise in his sister's face
While she was watching TV.
I went over, squatted down and said:
"Luke, no, put the toy in my hand"
Luke hit is sister with the toy.
I repeated: "Luke, no, put the toy in my hand"
Luke threw the toy on the floor
I picked up the toy and put it back on the chair in front of him.
I repeated: "Luke, no, put the toy in my hand"
Luke took the toy,
Pushed it towards my outstretched hand.
I repeated: "Luke, no, put the toy in my hand"
Luke grabbed the toy and smashed it in my hand.
He was furious, but not crying and
He choose to obey.
He quickly moved on to another task.
