Please..Deal With Your Child. Am I Wrong?

[nannyde]

I do not believe in rewarding children for doing what they are supposed to do.

I do expect children to follow directions without coercion or bribing.

I do NOT however, believe in engaging in practices that serve no other purpose but to wear down a two-year-old into compliance.

It's better to have the adult watch a two year old slap his mother across the face? That's the end game you know.

I care about this provider. I care about HER happiness. I care about what's developmentally appropriate for HER.

This two year olds development isn't more important than hers.
