KinderQuote: How to Keep a Toddler out of Trouble
Friday, March 23rd, 2007Dylan loves to climb up on the printer table that sits next to our computer desk so that he can dangerously crane his head around the side of the monitor to get a close look at what you're doing on the computer. Clearly, this is one of those dangerous activities that Dylan doesn't mind, but which leads to yet another sequel of Baby Fight Club.
Today, I was yelling at Dylan for trying to do this while I was working at the computer. Sebastian, who was watching me from a chair beside mine, calmly dispensed some parenting advice:
You need to scream at him as loud as you can. Then he starts crying and stops doing whatever it is you don't want him to be doing. That's what I do. It works almost every time.
. . . and another KinderQuote is born.
Now I know why God made it so 5-year-olds can't become parents.
