Should You Cuddle the "Naughty" Child?

When your child asks for a hug after behaving badly, you may feel like you are rewarding his negative attention-seeking behavior! No one wants that! But is it truly a reward? Or should you give in to the request for a cuddle? This situation can cause many parents to feel conflicting emotions, just like this mama did in her letter to me.  We're going to take a little deep dive into the negative attention-seeking toddlers and preschoolers engage in all-too-often, and I'll give you some strategies for helping your child learn to communicate with you in more positive ways. As always, I'll throw in some Montessori magic for good measure. The lesson this week is a secret recipe for enticing children toward water pouring work. All you need is a beet.  Love,  Aubrey P.S.
