At what age does a mother have to accept that her daughter is now old enough to makeher own decisions, and peacefully accept rather than try to advise and correct herbehavior?
When you’re assigning a job as a consequence, how do you go about it if you’re not athome?
How do I wean my little daughter from a reward-based system but still help her with pottying in the toilet every time? Also, she is “happily hurtful.” How do I help that?
My kids think that the calm down spot isn’t a place for them to just calm down. If they stop crying immediately, can they leave the calm down spot right then or not have to go at all?

“My 2yo has started crying a LOT the past few days. Over every little thing. Nothing is different physically or environmentally that I can tell. He already has his 2yo molars, too.. He’s just been crying about everything that he doesn’t like, with some pretty good tantrums thrown in the mix of the average crying. I tried holding him in timeout (he’s never stayed in time out on his own so far), but he screamed and threw a serious tantrum the whole time.. which wouldn’t be a problem for me except that I have to take care of the other kids, too! I tried holding him in our time-out spot until he was done with the tantrum so I could praise him for being happy, etc., but after 40 minutes of continuous screaming, my baby was also crying, needing to be fed, and the other young kids had destroyed the basement. At that point I just took him to his bed to finish his crying fit. So I’m thinking the holding in time out option might not work for us. Yesterday and today I’ve started just taking him to his room when he starts having a breaking down crying fit. What would you suggest? Do you think I should just take him to his room every time he cries? Or should I try
