You tell your kid that misbehavior really drains your energy and ask the child how they would like to replenish your energy level and give them options of chores they can do. I tried this once on Evan. He kept dawdling during the chore, hoping that I would do it for him, so I gave him a time limit and said if he didn't get it done in ten minutes then he'd have to do a second chore. During our second chore he piped in with, "Gee, this really drains my energy!" I told him that he could replenish his with a nap. I just thought it was funny that after I'd only used this technique one time he caught onto me and used the same trick on me!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289237938435120921noreply@blogger.com
