Using Ferber method in everyday life
A less messy way to do this is to create a ball of masking tape and giving
it to the child. It has the same end result and is much tidier. -- Melissa (in Los Angeles) Mum to Elizabeth 4/13/03 But kids like to get messy. It always in the best interest of the child if you don't ever let them get messy. -- Sue (mom to three girls) I'm Just a Raggedy Ann in a Barbie Doll World...

Pulling it from hand to hand and trying to put it down can keep them delightfully occupied for a very long time! |

Ack, that should read, it is not in the best interest of the child to never
get messy. -- Sue (mom to three girls) I'm Just a Raggedy Ann in a Barbie Doll World... Sue wrote in message ...
