Give me strength

[Dreamalittledream]

This can be so frustrating; I have a relative who is also very passive with disipline and non-existent follow through...but, for sure, her children know that they do not get away with that here. Something that worked for me was to do time out in a booster chair with tray (something about being restrained until the timer went, worked well for my child like this) and give all kinds of positive attention to the child that was hurt/disrupted. As well, to give the 'offender' all kinds of positives when he is being good (one thing I do is carry mini-gummy bears and hand them out as a rare treat "great sharing Timmy, here's a gummy bear)". Just my 2 cents.
