MYERS, PhD I have often discussed the child who puts up verbal resist- ance when parents make a command or decision he dis- likes; when we say no or tell him to do what he doesn't care to do. From Indiana, the mother of three young children writes this letter: "Should we tolerate the 'ver-) bal static' we get when we issue a command or a 'No?' Or rath- er, when they complain or argue, should this be consid- ered in effect not obeying and be treated accordingly? Our 9- year-old daughter particularly is quite prone to argue about something she doesn't wish to do, and I have been guilty of letting it continue." SHOUTING WON'T HELP Then what should you do? Keep lyourself from talking back; not saying a word, but implying that your decision stands. In some extreme instance when you are not quite sure the re- sisting child sees why you make the decision you do make, state in the fewest possible words your reason before announcing your decision, Then say no more, Yet such occasions would be rare, as a rule. The child be- gins to argue because she has hope she will win. Her batting average to date has been so good that she feels a strong urge to challenge you. As a practical procedure, when you make a command or decision the child doesn't like, expect him (or her) to obey it in due time. If, after he has done so he stil] thinks you were unfair or wrong, let him feel free to come back and quietly tell you so. ENFORCE DECISIONS Before making a decision or command you know your child will strongly resist, be pretty sure you have available the necessary wherewithal to en- force this decision or command. You can see now why I have, over the years, been entreating parents to lay the foundation of obedience by the child in his early years. Parents who do so successfully won't have occa- to do our best to start to correct the situation." My reply in part: I'm sure you are right in resolving to re- duce tensions to find ways to get obedience without anger and shouting. The 'verbal static' you mention is a symp- tom of ways you need to change. When your child meets with an unwelcomed decision or command from you, she may not be overly disobeying, but since she wins, you h have just kidded yourselves that she has obeyed. There is nothing quite.so exasperating to a par- ent as to be placed on the wit- ness stand, questioned and cross-questioned as if she were a criminal. This parent is fool- ish to let herself be entangled into such a web of frustration.
