Okay, so I have been meaning to send a big THANK YOU out to two friends who gave me the VERY SAME ADVICE with the whole "Pink" thing! Jaimee (Idaho Falls) and Eleasha (WA Friend)! I knew there had to be something to it when two strangers hundreds of miles apart both told me to say ....
"YOU GET WHAT YOU GET AND YOU
DON'T THROW A FIT!"
to Emily when she started whine over not getting what she wanted.
So it hasn't worked PERFECTLY, of course, but it has definately helped, DEFINATELY!
The funniest of all is that the other day I was teaching joy-school and Noall (a little boy in Emily's class) said it! WHAT! So who's been hiding this phrase from me? Does everyone know it but me? It works.
Now, I have to wonder why it works. Is it because it rhymes? Please, let's all come up with as many rhyming teaching phrases as we can and share them with each other. Soon our children will be superbly obedient and kind!

Yeah, that's a classic and everyone knows it ;0). No, I didn't learn it until I taught a Kindergarten class. I said "you get what you get" and the class like clockwork said "and you don't throw a fit." Works every time--even with adults--heehee.
I loved scrolling through your blog. It's been fun to see all of your adventures over the last few months.
Yeah, we have been using that one for a long time too.
Sorry it's just getting to you.
Did you go private with your blog then? I can't remember.
that's great! I am glad it has helped a bit! Every little bit helps!!When my kids start to whine we also started singing " It's the end of the world as we know it" They quit because they didn't like me singing it to them! It was even funnier when they heard the real song on the radio! They busted up laughing!!
