In a quiet and calm moment , explain what you will do - and then do it. I also found rewards for good behavior are also effective. And it is worth reminding her everytime you go out what you expect and what will happen if you don't get the behavior you want. Try not to yell or overreact. Just stay calm and follow through. - That's the best I have to offer.<BR/>Bon BonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428377956163704209.post-50619967159432538072007-07-24T06:30:00.000-05:002007-07-24T06:30:00.000-05:00HUGS SHELLEY!!!
