Me (exasperated): “Why can’t you have good behaviour? You know you would get what you want if you had good behaviour”!
6 year old: “No I wouldn’t! I had good behaviour last night and you wouldn’t let me have McDonalds for dinner. And I had good behaviour this morning and you wouldn’t let me have my Thomas sweets for lunch!”
Mmmmm all of this is true. I am going to have to rethink my persuasive arguments.
Of course it bleedin’ obvious why kids misbehave. Because 8 times out of ten they can’t have what they want, even if they do behave!
So what is the answer for good behaviour? Tell me your thoughts.
