Kylie has learned how to throw a temper tantrum, and we have learned how to not give in. I hope that is the right strategy. Recently she has been throwing quite a few of them, particularly about the yogurt. She loves yogurt, and if she had it her way, she would eat nothing but yogurt. Or ice cream. But we think she needs some more balance than that, so she throws a tantrum when we don't give her yogurt. So then we just say "Too bad. You can have some fruit or carrots if you want, but you had your yogurt today." And after a minute or two of crying about the big mean parents who won't give her every thing she wants, she gives up and comes in, smiling, and wanting to make up. |
