Excuse my French, but you go, mama!! Miss A will biatch and moan for a whole week, and then she'll probably thank you when she wakes up to herself That is an ace way to put your point across. Best of luck with it, I really hope it gets the results you're looking for! Keep us posted, please!
I think it's a great idea! Good luck with it all. I would love to do something with my DD, but she is only 2 3/4! She doesn't understand the concept but I wan't her to learn now. I have no idea how to teach a toddler appreciation and gratitude!
Thanks ladies.. good to hear that its not a knee jerk overreaction by DH and I. They just stopped saying thank you, and spend more time complaining about what we wont get them than anything else. Today the school sent a note home to return the library books Miss A and Mr C have borrowed and not returned seeing how they have moved into HS... Alternatively we can pay $200 to replace them.... $200 worth of books!?!?!?!?! been finding them all over the place. Miss A stands there "But I returned this mum" - well CLEARLY you didnt, its in my flaming hand!!!! I have a stack of 20 odd books here that belong to the school. I didn't even know they had all these! I went to check Miss A's room and she pipes up "There is no school books in there mum"... No, except this one, and this one, and this one, and this one..... No appreciation, no respect. I would normally ask where I went wrong but I can clearly remember a time when these kids had both + Manners. *sigh*
