by John Salmon

Are You Manipulated or Accepting of Your Child’s Emotion?

by John Salmon
“No, you can’t have a cookie. We’re eating supper soon.” As soon as the word “no” came out of my mouth, my daughter’s eyes watered, her lower lip protruded, her chin began to quiver and a tear gently rolled down her cheek. I watched…my heart went out to her…what should I do?    “Give me your...
