the little things parents do...

[emmasmommy]

so, i have a pretty ummmm, spirited 4 yr old. she has some very strong opinions and doesn't like to be told what to do, so we usually give her a bunch of options (which i don't mind) and let her pick one. she still feels like she's being independent and well, i get my way as well LOL


one thing that i do a LOT, is i'll brush my teeth when she's brushing hers. there's no way in heaven and earth she'd let me brush her teeth for her, but if i'm brushing mine at the same time, she'll brush just like me....thus, brushing her teeth well.

that's just one example lol (i sometimes think i'm too accommodating) what are some things you do that fall into that category? yanno, so things get done right, but you avoid a fight?
