I posted the first part

Okay, so I have now joined daycare.com because I was sick of seeing me as unregistered....I just bought the books by the way. HEHE my DH is going to wonder how I paid for it...I LOVE AMAZON, they keep your CC number in the account if you like.

No really, it is worth the buy...I need all the help I can get. The parents didn't want me using taking away his TV priviledge because that was something they couldn't see doing at home. Give me a break...I am okay with TV, but I think it should be used as an incentive for good behavior...or maybe I could just say.....Oh I'm sorry, you don't like to listen to me? Oh, the tv isn't turning on today...well maybe it doesn't like it when you don't mind me so now it doesn't want to turn on... WOW I am crabby....

Wow.. you're right. I had to look at mine because I got confused too.

http://www.amazon.com/Positive-Disci...9700039&sr=1-1 I have this one by Jane Nelson.

I also wanted to buy a book by Barbara Coloroso called "Kids are worth it". But, when I downloaded the sample, I thought it seemed weird and a little stupid. It gave me a weird feeling. I love the idea of giving kids choices, but the part I read made it sound like no matter what YOU need, the child should always make the choice... if it's not "agreeable" to the child, you should wait until it is agreeable to him or her, otherwise it undermines the child's dignity.

So, what I understood (and it was just a sample, so I could be way off) Is if you need to go to pick up your husband at the airport, but your son doesn't agree to sit in the carseat, you should wait until he's agreeable to it. You should never impose your will on your child. Soooo... I thought that was too strange.

We have really lost our way.

You don't see this anywhere in the animal kingdom but we humans are so special that we can have the young lead the way. If any other species took this approach they would die out within a generation.

It's rediculous.

Glad to see you registered! Let us know how you like the books. I hope the parents can be a little more accommodating for you. They can't take tv privileges away at home?

I know, it is wierd. I am pretty sure they kids watch tv all night when they get home. Here I only allow a movie on FRIDAY FUNDAY, and then every so often during the week we watch something to change things up. But, I hope they are able to take it away...

My gut tells me they probably have a TV in his room and don't want to take it out....
