Re: ETLDTD - Week Two, Wednesday and Thursday
I'll ask a general question. I have been working to use the more positive phrasing and trying to remmber that what I focus on I get more of. What do you all do about whining? I know ETLDTD suggests telling stories about when they were babies, but TBH, I don't remember much since ds was tiny then too. I've been asking for her friendly voice, for Adeline's voice, for her fairy princess voice and telling her that her Whine - a - line voice won't get her what she wants. It feels CONSTANT though. In light of what you focus on . . . do you have other ideas?
Thanks for this! You all are keeping me working on gentler parenting & I need that!
