A Clever Solution
August 22, 2005 on 8:17 pm | In Main |I had some trouble with Sean this evening. He said he was too tired to go to the gym for his tumbling class. I left early, since I needed to stop by the store on the way. I struggled to get Sean in the car, and then Sean refused to get out of the car at the store. I somewhat dragged Sean out of the car, and he cried the whole time at the store.
On the way to the gym from the store, I reminded Sean about one of the new shows he watches, called Lazytown. I asked Sean if Robbie Rotten had given Sean any bad food (candy) to slow him down. When Sean said no, I told him Sporticus would be disappointed that Sean did not have enough energy for his tumbling class. This discussion did the trick, and was certainly more effective than me telling Sean he “had to.” Sean enjoyed his gym class and behaved well up until he went to bed.
