Now Dr. Karp, assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of California, Los Angeles, has turned his attention to the toddler years...The little Neanderthals have their own videos now:
Ask a Toddler: How to throw a tantrum"
To: neverdem
...a toddler throwing a tantrum over a cookie might wail... I wonder if that would work to quiet liberals.
To: neverdem
Dr. Karp adopts a soothing, childlike voice to demonstrate how to respond to the toddlers cookie demands.
You want. You want. You want cookie. You say, Cookie, now. Cookie now. ,
Actually I used a variation of this technique years ago when my kids were little.
It worked for me. Admittedly, some people thought I was nuts but what the heck....
It usually worked.

Utter Bull!
If you don't say "NO COOKIE" child has achieved control, and then child does not learn discipline, and child grows up to be a liberal socialist instead of a conservative.
YOU NO WANT COOKIE NOW!

To: neverdem
Children are clever savages who are inherently expert at analyzing and exploiting the weakness of adults for their own perceived advantages. They are also possessed of the belief that what they want is the most important thing in the universe because they are the most important person of their universe. The purpose of parenting is to civilize them, to demonstrate to them that they are not the center of the universe and that the sooner they learn that they have to take others into account as having competing and ofttimes more valid claims, the better off they will be.

Dr. Karp’s ideas sound a little, well, never mind...
Gently whirling a newborn in a blanket used to be used to regularize irregular heartbeat.

Dr. Karps method, endorsed by child advocates and demonstrated in television appearances and a DVD version of his book, shows fussy babies who are quickly, almost eerily soothed by a combination of tight swaddling, loud shushing and swinging, which he says mimics the sensations of the womb. This is nothing new. Babies have been swaddled for thousands of years. And in most cultures, babies are almost constantly carried.

I will say that I see this with my own toddler -- he will keep repeating his current observation or demand, until you repeat it back to him. It's a cognitive thing, I guess -- by hearing you repeat it, he knows you have listened and understood.

I thought the point of raising kids was teaching them to be good adults, not to learn from them how to be annoying toddlers.
