Post 785: Freak Out

November 16, 20241 min read

My youngest went down a path of figuring out that if she freaks out enough, she can probably get what she wants. The interesting way I found to combat this was to just completely ignore her when she went into freak out mode.

Even more exciting, when she was using this as a tactic, and I responded by removing my attention, she almost immediately went back to just talking to me like a normal person.

I will point out this is for dealing with a child who is upset about not getting a cookie, not for someone who has just had something truly upsetting happen to them.
