a win for parenting

• “Tea’s ready! Come sit at the table Daniel. C’mon Daniel, come have tea.”
• Cajoling just has no effect when a two year old is engrossed in Toy Story 2.
• Pick him up and carry him to the table.
• He hops down and runs back to the lounge.
• TV goes off.
• Screaming starts.
• Time out.
• He comes back out.
• “Sit down and have tea and watch Buzz?”
• “O’kay!”
• Tea, and Toy Story for everyone.
• Yay! 😀
