Maybe we should all set up 12 email addresses and cast some more votes.<BR/><BR/>As for the tattle tale situation--I have a trick that worked. I used to teach kindergarten would rather eat glass than hear one more tattle. For the frequent offenders, I would attempt to convince the child that he/she had a tail. The more tattles he/she told, the longer the tail would grow. Having a few teacher friends in on it would help. Just a suggestion<BR/>:0).<BR/><BR/>A major fan in NYC.Newportgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07129128049682367618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-12743784460898699432008-01-29T16:22:00.000-05:002008-01-29T16:22:00.000-05:00That's great!

If my big kid was a little younger and more naive, I'd use it.<BR/><BR/>I told Celia that Santa will only bring her a stocking full of tissues (ie, no good toys) if she kept picking her nose like that. Girl had a serious problem. Not only did she stop picking her nose, she also told all of Target that Santa is bringing daddy tissues for Christmas.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957936326211980114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-76922147051250414552008-01-29T13:23:00.000-05:002008-01-29T13:23:00.000-05:00Hilarious!Hilarious!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-2240336974507552012008-01-29T12:05:00.000-05:002008-01-29T12:05:00.000-05:00This dialogue is precious!

When I say "things", I pretty much mean everything.<BR/><BR/>And so beyond the worry and the google searches that take me to pages I'm going to need therapy to get over, I've found a temporary cure for her.<BR/><BR/>I've told her that she shouldn't lick the walls because there is poop on them. Sometimes, I didn't even use the word poop. Sometimes, I used the word poops big sister.<BR/><BR/>And I didn't even feel guilty. Not for one second, even when she was bawling and wiping her tongue with a towel, trying to get the "shit off".Ms. Skywalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611709391769911868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-88444730418565170362008-01-29T00:33:00.000-05:002008-01-29T00:33:00.000-05:00I think you are brilliant.

She always does. She would rather have her loving mom than be ignored. She's only 3, but she needs to learn who's in charge. Harsh? Maybe... but very effective. My mom did the same to me and I am a highly functioning adult. And a happy one at that.
