"I will not allow you to jump on the couch."

As a speech-language pathologist who works with very young children for a living, this kind of language is insufferable. Simply because I will see parents use it with 3 and 4 year olds who do not have the ability to pick up on the nuance of your language. I am not opposed to treating children with respect and explaining consequences to their actions, but you cannot rattle off all of this info to a small child and expect them to grasp anything of what you're saying. You need nice short sentences with direct language. Not a paragraph of grammatically complex information.

"Do not jump on the couch. You are hurting the couch. If you jump on the couch again, you're in trouble. Do you understand?"

I did a very similar thing with my second youngest nephew who was 3 years old at the time of this story. We were at the pool together and he was standing over the deep end, kicking things into the pool. The situation was dangerous as he could have easily lost balance, fallen into the pool, and possibly hit his head in the process.

My brother had been struggling to get him to follow directions all day... mostly because he uses this type of language with him. I put a stop to it immediately. This is what I did:

"Hey! T------. Look at me." *Gestures to eyes.* "Do not kick the toys. It is dangerous. You will get hurt. Now, you can stay here and not kick the toys... OR you can pick up the toy, and go play with it over there with your dad."

My nephew, T----- silently picked up his toy and carried it over to his dad. It's that simple.

no one talks about how draining it is when your mood constantly switches between "keep going, it will get better" and "i can't do this anymore, im about to give up." it's like living in emotional whiplash. one hour you're hopeful, the next you're spiraling

one of the saddest feelings is noticing that you're no longer someone's first thought after they used to be yours.
