Don't Don't 1-22-2010

Hi Mom and Dad or anyone in the Twinsphere. Twins in their two's can really test you at times. What with spills, food flying, bodies thrashing and tempers flaring it is tough to control your language. One that we keep working on is "don't". We mean well in correcting or guiding our twins and their behavior but "don't" just doesn't cut it.
I know our twins are listening to everything, even when we think they are not, so a string of don'ts will create a very negative association. This will create the opposite behavior if you are not careful. So turn "don't" into "we should", "we do", "you should" or perhaps something else framed positively and you will be amazed. So remember.....don't don't!
