ITA...I answered from the scenario of E wanting something he shouldn't have, since that is what Storm started it out with.
If our sons are having a tantrum because their toy isn't working quite right, or they need to tell me something that is huge in their world, we talk and work it out.
But if it's just an "I want...wahhhhh!" then my above responses cover that.
