Good to know. I usually end up “reasoning” with my son. He’s VERY well behaved except for minor naughtiness... which is entirely because I laugh at it, which encourages him. I try not to, but he’s so CLEVER I can’t help it.
And that’s why I’ve continued the reasoning approach: he’s waaaay too smart for me to rely on raw discipline as he gets older.
I used the “reasoning approach” With my Chinese Lady friend;s daughter. It always worked! But she’s an exceptional human! College at 16, with a double major in Chemistry and Bio-mecanical Engineering. Just had to show her the truth, and she’s come right around!
