RE: Need an advise to a person in doubt 😐

You can be firm but I would be careful about getting too mad at her. Being 4 years old yes they are more aware than before but they are still incredibly young. They are exploring their world and working to learn and understand situations and consequences.

It’s better to maybe yell a little bit but talk to her when she does these things. Ask her why she did it and figure out what you can do to do it better the next time.

There’s so much information out there on this specifically but please keep this in mind: “I will never forget the time my parents freaked out about me not eating dinner. For me it was really traumatizing, but for them it was just a Tuesday.”

The quote isn’t perfect but the point is there. We have to be careful what we get really upset with the kids on. Those times are what they remember in 10, 15 years when they are a lot older. They won’t remember the good times only the bad ones and then for us it’s another stressful day. For them it’s the most traumatic thing in their lifetime to day so they remember it extremely well.

I have made a lot of mistakes yelling and getting mad at my son for things and I deeply regret it. The best thing we can do is learn to be better so we don’t do these things again!
