A few months back, I posted briefly about some major discipline problems that were consuming my life. Things have gotten a lot better, but over the last two weeks, we’ve seen a major regression with Emery. I somewhat expected it after a long vacation and birthday party festivities. Miss Priss thinks she’s the Queen Bee and has the attitude to back it up. Lord help me when she’s a teenager. Anyway, there has been much defiance, hateful behavior, hitting, and biting. Yesterday, I got a slap to the face and a bite on the shoulder as I was carrying her to her room for timeout.
It was a LONG DAY, but the violence is where I draw the line. This is her room as of 4:00 yesterday afternoon.
These are her toys (not including what is locked in her closet), that are being held hostage in the master bedroom. We are starting over and when my pleasant daughter returns, so will her toys………little by little.
The hard part: Gavin still has a room full of toys and is smuggling toys to Emery. So, for now she doesn’t seem to care that she has an empty room. The next step will be taking away TV privileges, but I’m not sure if that is unfair to Gavin . The joys of twin discipline……..

I am with you daughter. Prove my theory! Make my day! Find the vulnerable spot and hit it!
