I came across <a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/15-ways-not-raise-toddler-184200408.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> article soon after this post and couldn't help but laugh at the timing. Enjoy.<br /><br />I agree with you that if, if, <b>if</b> it were maintained it has a good chance of working. I just think it's pretty much impossible to be consistent that way. A concern I'd have would be the moderation of love vs. "harshness" shown. <br /><br />As an aunt/uncle, it's easy to be makpid when they act out and then shower them with love; I don't think it's as easy for a parent.%Shocked%https://www.blogger.com/profile/08017279590797608442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-69593798731913821752011-11-15T09:30:03.134-05:002011-11-15T09:30:03.134-05:00I've been an aunt for more than half of my lif...I've been an aunt for more than half of my life, and I can say that if they maintained it, the kid would never tantrum again.

Most of them told me that they walked into raising children with just that style of parenting. Every one of them told me that eventually they gave up. Apparently it stops working after a while, or, the parents are just too exhausted to carry through with it.<br /><br />I think the saying , "easier said than done" fits nicely here... Unfortunately...<br /><br />I also discovered that the booming "DON'T YOU DARE KICK ME!" works well for a very long time, but then they catch on that nothing terrible will happen if they actually do kick you, so that stops working too Also unfortunately lol%Shocked%https://www.blogger.com/profile/08017279590797608442noreply@blogger.com
