First, when asked your opinion by a 4 year old, ALWAYS choose the OPPOSITE of what you want them to choose! For example, if your little girl asks, "Mommy should I choose the shark or the bunny "knife" for my peanut butter?" Mommy should reply, "Oh, I would DEFINITELY choose the shark!" Of course, your little girl's natural response would be, "Great. I think I will choose the bunny." Mission accomplished. :)
Second, if you want your preschooler to go potty because he's doing the "pee pee dance" and insists he DOESN'T have to use the potty...just announce loudly, "WHEW! I REALLY have to go potty...RIGHT NOW!" Then, sit back and enjoy him racing to beat you into the bathroom! This is a hypothetical situation of course. My son would NEVER hold his "tinks"in until he is completely irritable and irrational. Uh uh. No way.
It's a sad day when I'm feeling proud that I've "outsmarted" our 4.5 year olds!!! ;)
