I actually bought a few packages of silly bands in an effort to teach my daughter (4yrs.) to talk/ask nice. She would get one in the morning to start things out, and then as the day went on if she talked nice, wasn't whiny, demanding, rude, etc. she would recieve another. If she didn't talk nice then she would lose a silly band. At the end of the day we would count how many she earned and she would say "tomorrow I'm going to be REALLY nice and get even more!" It worked pretty well while I stuck with it. <br />(By the way, I'm on the east coast and silly bands have been all the rage for quite some time now...It seems like it's finally starting to die off though!)Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01706113918126566793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164299303744327866.post-44620581547438652702010-10-06T14:20:03.150-06:002010-10-06T14:20:03.150-06:00Thanks for the info.

It seems that over the last week or so my sweet (most of the time ;) son has turned in to a demanding, inpatient stranger that I don't even recognize! :) After working all day, I hate to admit,that sometimes it is just easier to give in, but I have to remind hubby and I WE CAN'T!!!
