I recently made up a little creed to say with Peter stating the house rules.
Here is how it is supposed to go:
Me - No Fighting
Peter - No Biting
Me - Big Hugs
Peter - No Drugs
Me - Say Please and Thanks and you won't get
Peter - SPANKS!
Me - Follow the Rules
Peter - Stay Cool
The only problem is this is how he does it:
Me - No Fighting
Peter - No Biting
Me - Big Hugs
Peter - No Drugs
Me - Say Please and Thanks and you won't get
Peter - No Drugs!
Me - Follow the Rules
Peter - No Drugs! NO DRUGS!!!
Then today Peter received a time out because he was not saying please, and throwing a tantrum because he wasn't getting what he asked for.
After his time out I sat down with him to talk about why he had gotten the punishment.
Me - Peter, you know the rules. You need to ask nicely, with no screaming and no crying.
Peter - and no drugs
I am hoping this is the last drug talk I have to ever have with him.
Oh, and on the topic of following rules, Peter has also started telling Aaron to "ask nicely" when Aaron (who doesn't talk much) grabs for something or asks for "juuuuce"
