I hate the "I love you mummy" when they are being naughty cheek monkeys. It feels so manipulating.

Sorry but Im so glad somebody else is going through this.

I find when the monkey comes out we need directed activities- coloring, play doh, craft, baking. Or to get outside for a bit.

We have a star chart in action and helpfulness and good listening are two of the subjects.

Hugs hun. You aren't alone and your doing a super job
