Sending some love. Kids are hard. I've read that book, and I wasn't able to implement the tactics, because, my kids are a another level of complexity... But what I did take away from the book was, I wasn't alone in this. It was normal for kids to go through this too. I think I need to get this book out again and remind myself these things. We still get morning meltdowns from Master 3 because his breakfast didn't come out in the right order, the fruit wasn't the right one and the bowl was the wrong colour. Any attempt to fix it is met with, "No because you already did it, and I don't want it anymore." Scream in my pillow indeed. There's hope though. And it's called school. ;) x
