Love and Logic
By javamomma

What do you do when someone backtalks a 'one liner?' Keep giving them the one liner.

I love using Love and Logic with my classroom and my own children.

*one student was to "sick" to participate in our
writing lesson. When the class lined up to go to pe I mustered all the sympathy I could and said "Oh x, I really dont think you should go to gym today. You are sick and you know how hot it gets in the gym. Coach x would be very upset if you got sick in his class. I think you should lay your head down while the class is at PE."
needless to say he felt much better the rest of the

day. :s)

*my own daughter is a grouch when she wakes up. We always leave on vacation at 3:30 in the morning. Well we stopped for breakfast and she was complaining about waking up and combing her hair. I said in a sickly sweet voice "Dad is willing to buy breakfast for anyone in line with him, anyone else can take their time, but they will need to buy their own breakfast."

needless to say she was in line with the rest of us :)
