When a situation makes us react, some of us tend to give a speech and others tend to complain in front of our children.
The aforementioned examples are answers that were given in reaction to a situation. And answers such as these, usually end up escalading and causing a reaction from the children themselves. Not the best way for them to cooperate. Just imagine if your employer or spouse answered in such a fashion? Do we want our children to start answering this way? Is this how we want our children to express themselves when they are dealing with a frustrating situation?
Be proactive regarding the situation at hand by talking about the facts, by describing the situation and giving details. You can then add your instruction and ask your child to collaborate (which is what we wanted to start with).
