Better Days...

My mother is a genious! She told Cannon a "story" about a little boy who was so mean to his mom that he got his Spiderman backpack taken away..... She is the queen of reverse and passive psychology!! So, it sank in very deeply with Cannon. Now I just remind him of the story, and point to his beloved backpack, and everyone is happy! No more power struggle! No more yelling, or threatening, or losing our tempers! Hooray!!!

What a great mom! Mine would just get after me for teaching my kids those words. What she doesn't realize is that they are the ones teaching me all the swear words!

I am so glad that the reverse psychology is working. we tried that with potty training and didn't work. that would have been a much cheaper option.
