talk with them instead of shouting AT them. So many people forget that the little ones form their own opinions and likes / dislikes. It's a fact that we're not yet equals, My 10 year old is not intellectually capable of the same things that I am, so it's my responsability to remain flexible with him. My children are regularly complimented on their behaviour and vocabulary / intelligence. I think it stems mostly from the fact that we have discussions about all kinds of things together. It's very rare that anyone shouts in this house, it's simply not effective so we don't waste the time and energy. Children learn that very quickly.
