Put the PFD on Thomas and tell him what a good time you're going to have
out there in the cockpit..if he squawks about the PFD say "ohoh, time to
go below" and take off the PFD and place him below....if he wants back
up put the PFD back on and say more about the fun in the cockpit...soon
as he squawks, repeat the catch phrase "ohoh, time to go below" and take
him there sans PFD...repeat this for as long as it takes...he is at an
excellent age to begin using Love and Logic techniques...if you start
now, you will never have to argue about disciplinary actions...when you
say the catch phrase, amke sure you use a light or matter-of-fact voice
and not a stern grumpy sound...you don't want to appear angry or upset,

Woof!

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

Consequential learning works well on children....discussing and
explaining to a two year old is futile, useless, and a waste of
energy...and dangerous....better to learn cause and effect early than
later on or never (which seems to be the case with many children these
days if the school system is any indicator)....
