We are required to teach our children what to do first. Then,it is especially important to make the expectations and consequences clear in a calm moment not in the heat of the battle. And I am a firm believer in Selective Attention (Dr. Lehman's term!). I agree wholeheartedly with your comments. We are required to teach our children what to do first.

I couldn't agree more. 1) I think sometimes parents expect their children to just know or figure it out but they haven't learned so we need to make our explications clear. 2) No use getting involved in an argument when they want to argue just for the attention. No good rewarding bad behavior. 3) I just learned about this (Make the consequences task-oriented and time-limited) and it totally makes since. Consequences that match the offense make it simpler for them see what they did wrong. Good post. I couldn’t agree more.
