It's not, is it?? Because I find myself doing it more and more these days, when DS (4) gets into "the zone" of behaving badly and I can't think of anything else to do. When he's looking around for things to throw off any surface ... trying to escape out of the front door to the extent that I have to sellotape it shut ...
I just feel I have to withdraw all attention from him ? all the fuel that is fanning the flames, if you like ? but I suppose that could be interpreted by him as love withdrawal, yep?
WWYD??
