….really, it is just how you think about it.
I weighed this situation very carefully – great, worthwhile field trip for Hannah vs. potential irritability, whininess out of Ellie….I decided to be pro-active with a promise of a treat.
So, in the end, I got the behavior I wanted out of my three year old on a field trip today that was very long and uninteresting for said three-year old.
So, what was the “reward” you might ask?
A princess whistle/bubbleblower…
…that didn’t work…and is really irritating…
Poor kid
Poor Mommy
