No Talking - UPDATED

A certain somebody is on a No- Talking restriction.


No talking today.


Tomorrow, if the words are nice, we'll let you talk, but as soon as the words turn unkind, disrespectful, and negative the No-Talking policy will reappear.

Unless someone has a better way of dealing with miserable little girls?

I've run clean out of ideas.

Okay...
It's hilarious.
She gets it.
She does NOT talk.
She does a lot of sign language, 
but it's much harder to sign grumblings and disrespect than it is to use her mouth.
This child has been spouting words at an incredible speed to block me out
for several days, and so, this is such a peaceful relief.

I'll email you with an idea ... Not sure if the shoe will fit her, but just in case I'll send you an email ... probably tonight.

We have used this form of "discipline" with our Ezra. His mouth, more often than not, resembles a garbage can. I am not sure that it does anything to change his heart, but it sure gives us all a break from the nonsense.

Blessings and patience,
Summer
