Our Negotiator

At night when Annie doesn't follow directions we take away her book reading time. This is a great consequence "at the moment" to motivate her to listen. John was putting her to bed the other night and she wasn't listening so instead of reading 3 books with Annie, he told her just one. She responds, "I want to read Nemo!" (Daddy realized after reading the book that it was a CHAPTER book with 32 pages.) She's getting too smart.
