Crazy mother full of threats.

[Strugglingsaks]

ive already done that and she rolls her eyes and says okay ya mm okay and then does it anyway

 

[Sideways]

How about the “is she okay” part? It’s the kind of threat I think a parent would make when they are feeling overwhelmed...?

The conversation might be more of an ongoing one, you know? Like the type that takes a series of conversations, in small pieces, giving her time to digest your point of view. Also offering up alternative strategies might help, even using some of those alternate strategies yourself, so that she can see it in practice. Perhaps not in an in-ya-face sort of way, but more as “maybe a different approach would be more effective...”

A four year old doesn’t know that these are empty threats.

This is terrorizing a child!

No, this is not what good parents do.
