We've been working with Connor on 2 things a lot at home. One is him not constantly crying or whining when he wants something. He's been very focus on being independent and a big boy, so we'll tell him... "Do big boys cry? No, babies cry. Are you a big boy or a baby?" It works really well because most of the time he'll stop crying and talk like normal to convey what it is he wants.
The second thing is trying to get him to realize that he can't just take other kids toys. He's been coming home with an abundance of scratches and bruises because of other kids getting him after he's taken their toy away. So we were trying to tell him that he can't take other kids toys because it's not nice and because he's just going to get hurt.
He must have been thinking about putting these 2 lessons together because while I was talking to him about not taking kids toys (specifically a kid named Travis) he says, " Yeah. No cry Travis, only babies cry!" and he said it with the most amount of attitude he could muster up. After I was done laughing, I had to explain to him that he can't take Travis' toy and then say that; that it doesn't work that way.
