For me it works.. maybe 1/3 of the time, but I still think the book makes good points! The other 2/3 is patience, a thick skin and a general disregard for the public. I just don’t want my son to think a tantrum is a weapon in his his arsenal to get what he wants.

I don’t know if this is going to do any good long term. But I marvel at the way he pushes Grandma around with whiny tactics that he doesn’t even bother trying with me! I do know that his negotiation skills are improving and that he can’t stand my “self-regulate” speech.
