2 days agoAgrees in Theory, Protests in Practice
Manage your expectations: A child agreeing to a limit in theory but protesting in practice is to be expected. They aren't "tricking" you, they're just having a hard time accepting it once it's a reality. Getting frustrated and angry almost always escalates the situation and doesn't result in any lessons learned. Be prepared for this curveball so you can respond in a way that's supportive while holding the limit.
