Have you found using timers at your house to be HIT or MISS?
Either it helps tremendously or meltdowns ensue? What gives?
I'm breaking it all down on today's episode- both the DO's and DON'T's so you understand exactly what's needed to make your use of timers as effective as possible.
Not only do I share key insight into reducing whining, clinging, and complaining, but visual timers are your friend, and it's all about semantics so your child sees the "what's in it for me" factor!
IN THIS EPISODE, I SHARED...
- My go-to recommendation for keeping kids at the dinner table longer
- Ways to make transitions to bedtime or leaving the park so much easier
- How to leverage a timer during play / quality time
DON'T MISS:
- Whether or not you should be making "deals" with your child
