Re: Stupid Monkey
Thats a tough thing...I mean you dont know what the circumstances are behind the kids acting out. We dont tolerate bad behavior from our littles but we also have understanding in certain circumstances. Like our big road trip over the summer....we had been driving for 11 hours so boyz were all cooped up in their car seats all day. When they got out, it was for dinner but they ran around the bar/restaurant that was part of the campground where we stayed. Of course they had too much energy and were overly excited so we let it go - a BIT. Little ones respond so much better to positive reinforcement than negative but of course there are limits. And you always run into those who think kids are obnoxious unless they act like prim soldiers...you just have to strive to find that happy medium. Which doesnt really exist lol! But you hafta try, yeah?
