Time Out Versus Power Struggle
Warning! Pictures of miserably sad child. No one was harmed in the making of this blog post.
Remember that practice time-out? Guess what? Practice makes perfect. Micah is having a little trouble with a certain behavior that is requiring a little intervention. A recent incident landed him in a time out until he could say "sorry" to his brother. This simple technique turned into an unfortunate power struggle because this little guy is standing up on the inside!
The silver lining is that I realized there is full comprehension of the sin and the consequence. Poor little guy. Sometimes learning the hard way is no fun.
After the making of this blog post, there were lots of hugs and kisses and one mumbled "sorry" by a semi-contrite little man.
