I read a parenting book and learned a techniqe to better parent. Instead of telling my kids "Go do your homework." I give them 2 options, example: "Do you want to do your homework before dinner or after?" or "You can either stop crying, or go to your room and cry." This technique has worked pretty well for me. The other day I was busy painting and McKenzie walked up to me telling me she needed a toy that was downstairs in a bin. She then asked: "Do you want to get it for me now, or after you pick up Parker from school"
Using my own tricks against me, this girl is good.
