Sometimes you must do what is required.” ― Winston Churchill
An example would be; Me: I asked you to your homework before you could call a friend. Child: But I cleaned my room and I did my best! Me: Cleaning your room was not required, please do your homework. (insert emotional meltdown here)
It creates great teaching opportunities with children and adults.
Thanks for the insight Mike!
