Hello Dear Friend, One of my favorite topics is children. I have watched Mother’s do some really mean things to their youngsters under the age of 4. So sad when they are already at an age when they are learning there are consequences to behavior, be it good or bad. Agree with others comments about children needing attention from a parent may devise all kinds of ways to get it. Do you reward the good or bad behavior? Even being punished becomes a reward if a child is getting no attention at all. Negative rewards may become a way for a child to thrive if the household is one where neglect is the norm.
Kids learn so quickly, especially in their most formative years up to age 6.
Great post. You handled the child well. It showed that Lilly does indeed have impulse control. She just needed a response to activate it, which you adeptly gave her. Much Love to you. ❤️🐓🐓
EXCELLENT point you have made here my dear friend! Thank you for pointing this out. I have often seen parents sending mixed messages to their little ones, in similar contexts.
I wish you all the best always ❤️
