respect

Today we had lunch in the park, but Clara was getting exhausted and Sofi picked her up to take her home. Clara started screaming and kicking and protesting and was generally tired and out of it. I said "Clara, I have a deal, if you are respectful with Mama I will give you some yogurt before you go." That got her to stop kicking. Then to be a lecturing parent I added "Is there anytime when it's OK to be disrespectful to your parents?" Without skipping a beat, she stopped crying and said "When you're lost in a store."
