As I mentioned in an earlier post, Connor has had his fair share of timeouts lately (all part of the terrible FOURS, not TWOS). Brady has his share...on occasion and when he is willing to face the punishment. There is a HUGE difference in attitudes regarding timeouts between the two.
Connor's reaction: Not the timeout chair...I won't do it again...don't put me in timeout...I promise I will be better. Or sometimes, flat out denial that he did anything.
Brady's reaction: Yeah, I bit Connor and I will serve my punishment! He made me mad, so I lashed out. I won't do it again (unless of course he pushes me over the edge again). By the way, it takes a lot to push Mr. Laid Back Brady to the edge, so watch out when you do!
At least we haven't seen too much of the blame game. A friend had a birthday party for his boys and anything that went wrong for the invited child was someone else's fault. He could not believe how much HE was blamed.
