Which I can barely do (it's not automatic and doesn't even have a stinkin' handle on it; you have to put both palms flat on it and push REALLY hard).Gretchenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06071058891307637101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8386603446757850437.post-40425454275496568722008-07-29T14:41:00.000-04:002008-07-29T14:41:00.000-04:00This is funny..because I dont have kids...but a suggestion...<BR/><BR/>When I nannied (there is my credential for you!) the little girl I watched didn't respond to spanking or time out...neither worked, she really just didn't care.<BR/><BR/>BUT...we finally caught on to something that did work.<BR/><BR/>When caught in an act she was not supposed to do, we would grab her hands, and hold them still, (I know silly, but this loss of control was too much for her!). So for example, when she hit a sibling, I would grab both of her hands, in mine, squeeze, and explain...Sara,these hands are not for hitting your brother...you will stop hitting your brother. I would hold them for a minute, resisting her attempt to take control. <BR/><BR/>Oddly enough, it worked. The first few days, I had to do it about 100 times, afterwards, she caught on quite fast.<BR/><BR/>I want to see pics of the sundial!Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05587116774076139972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8386603446757850437.post-12670679617867966102008-07-29T13:06:00.000-04:002008-07-29T13:06:00.000-04:00Don't worry, it is normal.
