Ok so you tell your 4 year old son clean your room because by now he is more than capable of doing this chore on his own & the response you get is tears. I mean screaming yelling and almost falling out "really is that what we do"? You say to yourself as you almost lose it because you've been going back and forth for the last hour and then a light bulb comes on you get an EPIPHANY! You say these words.....clean your room or I am throwing every last toy in the trash! You come back room is spotless in record time.
So now it's the following week this 4 yr old is tricky he's hip to the game threatening to throw his toys out won't work this time he commences to the same shenanigans.......crying , falling out and screaming Mommy No this time!! So now you say be quiet clean this room or I'm taking the TV out of this room......and suddenly there is silence...it's alarming because it's so quiet you have to go in the room to check on your child & guess what he's sleep....YAYYYY! I don't care if the toys are all around the room if I can get this kid to go to sleep without having to almost come to blows I am pleased....LOL.
Oh did you think I had a cure for getting your child to listen???? HaHaHa no not really but I have a recipe to get you some peace of mind.....choose your battles mom there will be more temper tantrums tomorrow :-)
