question
dadfor2 -
just wondered...when the boys don't come inside when told to, do they they get to play outside again later that day or even the next day?
This week we've had excellent weather and have been outside a lot. There have been a few times where one or 2, or even 4 of the kids haven't come inside when I called them. I called them again and also added if they didn't come inside they would not get to go outside again. One didn't come in and had to physically bring him in. Stuck to my guns and he had to stay inside the rest of the day. Not much fun for him with his siblings playing outside. Plus, inside meant no t.v. and only a few select toys that I picked out. Helped me clean and sat with me as I paid bills, didn't get a popsicle (outside only snack) and was basically bored to death.
Just wondered what the consequences are for your boys besides a cold dinner?
Plus, one point I want to make. If you know dinner is in 10 min., I probably would say "no" to going outside and if possible, say "if you behave well at dinner, then you can have outside time"
