You take it as you go and know that you will make mistakes but everyone does and you can't avoid it; you just do the best you can. It’s all on a learning curve, for the parent and the child.

(NikkiZ might still be too little, though.) She'd take whatever we'd done, and the repercussion would flow from that. Can't share the toys with the other kids? Then you can't play with them, so you have to sit on the couch until you can share. Which means, if you get off the couch and still don't share, then you can't play with the kids yet and back you go. It was incredibly effective, and a technique she used all the way through our teens. By which time the results were much more painful than a punishment, and at the same time you couldn't complain much because they came from what you did in the first place... I don't know what logical consequence would flow from not coming to change your diaper, though. You might have to wait a few years on this one.

Elliot gets it, makes a big production about how SAD he is. Sometimes he throws a fit. I usually encourage the fit, tell him it needs to be bigger, louder. He usually won't do it because he feels silly. And that, is the point. Audrey doesn't like TO because we ignore her cuteness while she's sitting there, except to put her back. In my copious free time I'm reading, "How to behave so your preschooler will too." Something about setting a good example. I don't know for sure, I keep misbehaving hoping I'll get sent to my room.
