How many of you give warnings?

[Momof4]

I completely agree witih Crayola. I raised 4 children of my own and I know for a fact that children will push their limits if you let them. So my practice is to teach children that when I say something I mean it and they have to do it or stop doing it.

As far as cleaning up or trying to complete a task, no I don't expect them to be robots and we work together to get things done. But I don't give warnings when they must stop doing something wrong, I expect them to stop immediately when I say stop. When I ask them to do something and they are distracted I'll say it again, no problem, but there is a huge spectrum here!
