Here is a little exchange I had with my daughter the other day with which I was quite pleased. We were playing in our make shift playroom in the basement. Me: It will be time to start cleaning up soon Sophia: Noooo! We just started playing! Me: I know, perhaps we could... Sophia: Ahhhh! That hurts my feelings! That makes me want to throw this at you (grabbing the lid off a small trash can in the corner)! Me: Thank you for not throwing that at me. I can understand why you are are upset, you were having lots of fun werent you? Sophia: --silence as she pouts in the corner-- Me: Honey, I can only hep you get what you want if you tell me what you want. Sophia: I want to keep playing. Me: Thats fine you can stay down here Sophia: With you? Me: I can stay down here, but if I do I wont be able to cook dinner. Do you want dinner soon? Sophia: --silence-- and then a grumpy muffled yes Me: If you want to be with me you can play something upstairs while I cook. Sophia: (with a distinct uptick in her mood) Yeah, maybe I can color!
