Society & Culture
Your child grabs the one extra cookie you said he wasn’t allowed…
What do you do?
Or your daughter whines the minute she sees you pull out peanut butter for her toast...
Or, when your son hears that his sister is having a sleepover he yells that you’re a mean mom...and that you have wrinkles!
Yes he did.
To Play or Not to Play...That is the QuestionWould you, could you playfully parent in these situations, or would you Staylisten to your child’s upset?
A lot of parents ask us when to play and when to stay and we answer in the podcast this week:
When to play and when to stay...
When can you play and then stay…
And why would you stay then play…
Ok, we’ll stop with the rhyming now and get down to business.
