RE: Psychology Addict # 35 | Talking About Naughty Children: Treading on Egg Shells

Thank you for your wonderful article @abigail-dantes :)

Having been blessed with 2 beautiful daughters I have to admit at times it has not been easy. The youngest, in particular, knows how to "push buttons" and even when attempting to reward good behavior you are often confronted with a negotiation process. For instance, I might offer to drive her to a friend or take her to the movies for doing a chore (like clean her room) but might get "oh it's not worth it!" . No doubt she will do well in life as a negotiator !

Oh! Smarty pants 😅 Kids never cease to amaze me! If this is an isolated case, or it only happens every once in a while, it shows how confident in herself she is. If it is a pattern, it is important to modulate her sense of self-importance :)

It looks like you have a bright, confident daughter with a promising future ahead Terry 😊

Thank you for stopping by.
All the best to you & your family always!
