Guest guest Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Remember when you mentioned giving options for our 3 1/2 yr olds so they were able to make decisions about things - thus, the end result would be getting what you wanted but not having to argue about it?? Well, I started doing that and my sly has decided when I give him a choice, i.e., brushing teeth or pajamas first - his response is: " nuffin " (nothing). Of course, I repeat it a couple of more times - hoping maybe he just didn't get it the first two times and his continued response is " nuffin " . LOL So, did this happen to you and what did you do then?? I've told him that " nuffin " is not one of his choices and if he can't make a decision, I would make the decision for him. He doesn't like that and usually decides (after a couple of minutes). Part of me feels like I'm still reverting back to where we were with arguments about everything. I met a woman at the park today and she said she had a terrible time between the ages of 3 to 4 1/2. Again, it's always comforting to hear from another mother. Just curious if this ever happened to you. Thanks - H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
