| It doesn't matter so much what tactic you use as long as you are firm and consistent.....EVERY time! If you tell them "No!" 19 times but give in on the 20th time, they win, and they now know they can wear you down if they keep at it long enough. A smack on the butt will definitely get their attention and let them know you mean business. So does taking away a favorite toy or all toys until their behavior improves. |
