DUDE: now sence you pointed out to me. There has been I guess a few times when she has started to throw a fit I gave in, but I think again that was more of a " pick your battle" thing. I haven't gave in when she has her full blowen melt downs. I don't believe she is doing it cause she thinks she WILL get her way. There has been times were she gets a spanken for it. So, this leads me to say that if she was doing it for tension and to get her way why would she do this if ahe knows she is going to get spanked? Of course I can't do thia when we are at daycare and boy always does she get spanked but she does get time outs, things taken away, and when she's done we do talk to her. I do go over to her when she is melyind down and talk to her and it usually leads into a hug while I'm talking to her but I guess, in my eyes that's not giving in.
