List of the top 10 Things I Say Over and Over Every Day

[sahm2three]

UGH! I am seriously thinking of recording a loop of me saying this list so that I can just have it playing all day long. Here is my list:

Shut the door
Turn off the light
No inside toys outside
Worry about yourself
We do not put our hands on other people
Be quiet and eat
Babies are sleeping, be quiet
Take turns
One person in the bathroom at a time
Shut the door when you are using the bathroom

I could write about 20 to 30 more I am sure, as most of you all could too! UGH! I am sooooooo ready for Friday at 5 PM!!!

All those sound very familiar. ::

LOL, this is a very timely post!

I actually wrote the top three on the white board this morning and used slash marks to keep track of how many times I have to say them in a day:

"Walking feet"....eventually becomes "Stop Running!"
"Inside voices"...eventually becomes "Stop screaming!"
"We keep our hands to ourselves"....eventually becomes "If you can't control your hands, I will! Sit in that chair!"

Ahhhhhh, that felt good to get off my chest.

Anyone else ready for school to start besides me??

Walking feet
If your done with that put it away
FLUSH THE TOILET
Sit on your bottom
Go play

When I actually think about it, it's names.
There's 2 of them that I say over and over.
My dcg4 (almost 5) with very low impulse control and dcg7 who is ADHD.
Dcg7 has been on vacation for 2 weeks and my husband mentioned he's glad he hasn't had to listen to her name over, and over, and over again.

"No, its not time for snack yet."
"Don't throw mulch at each other."
"Dancing does not involve touching each other."
"Who pooped?"
"Hands are not for hitting."
"Stop climbing."
"What's the magic word?"

[jen]

-Less talking, more eating
-No Running
-No screaming at Jen's house
-We DO NOT throw toys
-If you did not use soap, you did not wash your hands...you just got them wet(that's for my schoolagers)
-We do not take toys from our friends

[DBug]

"No thankyou!" (takes the edge off of just plain "no")

"Use your words"

"Good for you!"

"You were (fill in the blank). We don't (fill in the blank). (Fill in the blank) is NOT acceptable. You are having a timeout for (fill in the blank). You will stay here until I say you can get up. Do you understand?" ... really wish I had a recording for that one ::

"Nice work!"

"What are you supposed to be doing right now?"

... boy, looking at that list, you can really tell my dc kids are mostly toddlers!::::

[AmandasFCC]

"What did I ask you to do?" (usually that's show me your quiet hands at the table, because I have one who is obsessed with playing with his cup and clapping and otherwise being a PITA at the table)

"Inside voices please!"

"Walking feet please!"

"No thank you"

"It is NOT ok to hit our friends"

"Hands to yourself"

And then it's one name over .... and over .... and over .....

[nannyde]

No

Sit
Stay

[sahm2three]

OMG! I am LOL at Who Pooped! LOL! I say this too! Sad thing is, a few times it hasn't been the babies! UGH! LOL! This is great ! Keep them coming!

I thought of more:

No it isn't snack/lunch time. We just ate!
Leave the cat alone.
Take out only one book at a time.
Furniture is for sitting, not jumping or standing.
There is no talking/playing during quiet/nap time.

How bout my own kids???? They are the ones! No, you can't have a snack AGAIN, shut the door!!, stop touching your sister! Just don't even look at her!, No you cannot watch Star wars right now! What will the parents think when the toddlers are telling them about Anakin Skywalker melting! No naptime is not over yet!

[GretasLittleFriends]

"Not yours, don't touch!" (My daycare area is shared with my home space) Of course, I also have to tell my own 5yr old boy this on a regular basis as well.

[Lilbutterflie]

Use your words
How do you ask nicely?
Is anyone hurt? Then stop tattling!!!
We do NOT lay or sit on the dog (we have a large dog, thank God he's great with kids!!)
Sit on your bottom
No inside toys go outside
We keep our hands to ourselves

[Childminder]

Walk!
Stop.
Calm down.
No screaming.
There are no 'boy' or 'girl' toys (My dcbs are such sexist pigs right now)
Are you trying to get someone in trouble or out of trouble?
Play room.
Now!
Gabby stop whining!
Those are NOT your toys they are mine.
