Sitting on your chair and yelling at your child to stop might work for some kids, but IMO it's not realistic to expect an excited 4 year old to just listen to words you're saying without backing it up with actions.
Actions include getting close to them, making eye contact, holding their hand or otherwise touching them, and restraining as needed. Restraining is different than hitting. There is a difference between protective force and punitive force (check out https://www.naturalchild.org/a.....nger. if you're interested) But oftentimes, just getting up, getting close, looking in the eye and touching is enough to get them to stop.
If you sit there and yell at them as they keep on throwing and you don't quickly get up and make a move to stop them, they're getting more wound up and you're getting more angry until you explode. |
I was taking care of the baby in the other room. I heard them laughing but didnt think anything of it. Then my husband walked in from Shul.
What if you hold their hands and theyre just laughing?
