Today both boys had dentist appointments. Only Younger boy went to the dentist. Older Boy decided to stand in the parking lot and scream about how he wasn’t going to go to the dentist. I took Younger Boy into his appointment and Older Boy got back in the car.

When we got home Older Boy was mad, because he didn’t get to go to the dentist. He doesn’t connect his behavior and the consequences. I explained that I wasn’t going to take off work again to take him to the dentist for six months and that he missed his chance.

Pray for understanding of cause and effect.
