Monday – The Brownie Talk

My husband and I are masters of the calm, reasoned, corrective talk method of pointing out errors to our child. We learned early on that he was not the sort of kid who responds to being yelled at (rather than correct his behavior, it escalates the emotions of all involved). When he acts up, we firmly and gently remind him of the rule he has broken, and state how we want him to have in the future.* Still, it's pretty funny to get the same treatment from him when he believes we have broken rules. My husband learned this on Friday night when he we the recipient of not one, but two calm, reasoned lectured from a very stern and serious preschooler.
