REALLY like the "walk away" idea, and the idea of it becoming habit.</p><p>We've worked the respect thing too, but some of your points expand on what we have done. Forwarding link to my wife for later discussion now...</p>TurffTue, 07 Oct 2008 13:57:20 -0000http://dewde.com/?p=130#comment-3693611<p>Thx Wendy! Good stuff. Love the rewind thing. Never heard of John Rosemond, will look him up.</p>Chris AmesMon, 06 Oct 2008 19:13:22 -0000http://dewde.com/?p=130#comment-3693610<p>I have a "rewind" technique with Katharine. If she doesn't make eye-contact and in a clear, polite voice express herself, I say, "Rewind, try again." It gets the point across to her that I have no intention of responding until it is communicated in a certain way. Another piece of advice if you live in a multi-level home - I do not answer any question posed to me by someone I cannot see. Cuts down on the yelling :) I very sweetly say, "Katharine, I need to see your face to hear your words correctly." John Rosemond came to our school this past weekend. I heard he was fantastic, but I missed it. Have you read his books? I can only assume healthy eating is part of it since everyone emailed me the next day for the names of the things I feed Lily. They mocked me the day before!</p>WendyMon, 06 Oct 2008 16:13:21 -0000http://dewde.com/?p=130#comment-3693613<p>thx man.</p>Chris AmesSun, 05 Oct 2008 22:33:45 -0000http://dewde.com/?p=130#comment-3693612<p>what a great idea! i'm definitely putting it in my arsenal for the future. way to go dewde!</p>derrickSun, 05 Oct 2008 18:23:45 -0000
