Link to the teenage version

I just tried acknowledging ds's feelings while washing his face (which he hates). And got a temper tantrum with biting in return, leading to the naughty step.

The teenage one and the kids one is available from www.schoollink.co.uk for £4.99.

HAve just ordered it too! Thanks for the link speccy. DH actually commented today about how negative i am at the moment when I speak to DS1 so am hoping to get some good ideas!

edam · 13/05/2007 11:11

So no sympathy for the complete and utter failure of acknowledging ds's feelings and getting bitten into the bargain, then? [grumpy emoticon]

is there one for 7 year olds??

Wallace · 13/05/2007 12:09

works well for 7 year olds

edam - loads of sympathy! How old is he? Maybe the "turn it into a fun game" approach would work better

edam · 13/05/2007 12:28

Somehow I can't see ds falling for that one...

edam i emphasise how dirty dd is. she's a bit of a clean freak though.
