littles not accepting punishments

i sleepy, i copied and pasted agains!

But what if the little just won't accept punishment and keeps breaking rules and / or routines?

This is a big one... Sometimes, Caregivers will have to deal with a little not accepting punishment. They may be being very bratty that day or just trying to get a reaction so here are some tips for responding to that:

Do not lose your cool! - Caregiver needs to demonstrate that they are in control of themselves even under pressure. DO NOT shout or swear at the little because you're giving them the reaction they want. Firmly make them understand that accepting the punishment is in their best interest and that further consequences will ensue if the little continues to disobey.Be consistent and firm!Apply the consqequences!Start counting down from 10! (it's super effective).

​Defying punishment occasionally ins't a problem, it's a part of being a playful little. But when a little consistently refuses to accept punishment, the caregiver has to make her understand their role in the relationship. Cgl is a dynamic after all, not a service. The caregiver needs to have a word with the little about expectations and the future of the relationship.
