Definitely a fave of mine! With my oldest son when he was around 3 or 4 and would just be crying and fussing over something unimportant or yelling or whatever we would say "go to your room until you're happy". And sure enough he would go in his room, and come back out a few minutes later when he was happy! lol We Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712410452679769307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601606375627781205.post-69117053287215614392007-11-13T10:04:00.000-05:002007-11-13T10:04:00.000-05:00I like the "I don't like it, don't do it again". ...I like the "I don't like it, don't do it again".

They would have blood spurting out of a cut, but I'd slap a bandaid on it, and it was all better. It worked wonders on invisible cuts too! My daughter's legs were always covered with the things! I don't think phrases like that would work on my kids anymore, though. :-(Snizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12609352449272402863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601606375627781205.post-61436923940855375192007-11-10T19:44:00.000-05:002007-11-10T19:44:00.000-05:00Those are good phrases - I'll have to try them out...Those are good phrases - I'll have to try them out.
