Shy. Bratty. Rude. Talkative. Loud. This is your child. They are going to do things and say things and sometimes you're not going to like it. But telling them not to be something doesn't help. You can ask them to "be more grateful" instead of saying, "don't be so rude." It's all about positive reinforcement.
13 "I Don't Care."
Whether it's about their friend at recess that ate a wood chip or that they are now a Buzz fan instead of Woody, it's important to them. It's important that they share things with you, that they ask you what you think. They want you to be just as excited as they are, so muttering that you don't care makes them feel like their thoughts are pointless. If you don't care, why should anyone else?
