I f@ckin' hate my dh right now. 5 yo DS is saying he's scared and can't sleep, and while some of it's likely a stall tactic, dh's response is to take away his favorite toys ans yell at him to stop crying. He has absolutely no empathy, and ds is genuinely upset. When I asked dh to back off and let him cry if he needs to, he got all pissed at me. Grrrr.... [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I've btdt, too. Now you get to play the good cop. Go in to your child and comfort him (as briefly as possible). All will be well. [ Reply | More ]

You should read the book. Basically you count the kid and then they get a punishment if yu get to 3. I found after just a few time outs DD will just comply and do what I am asking by 1 or 2. Sort of feels like animal training, but it works. I use it in limited amounts. [ Reply | More ]
