Re: how do you change a default expectation?
Yes, helpful. But I'm not so verbal as you and it would be hard for me to pull that all off. My son argues before about 2 sentences get out of my mouth. Your way of making it palitable to your dc was much more than 2 sentences and maintaining "the floor" is something very hard for me with this "debater" son of mine, lol. Also, I like what you said about letting their upset cause you to reconsider *sometimes* and *that* helps you later.....I can see how that helps. I just have to make sure I am not letting the upset I am "caving" to be a true rage that my son often exhibits, huh.
