Morning battle

This morning Colton woke up early so he curled into my bed and stayed with me until he said “I want to go pee!” Then I said “Then go immediately and I’ll wait for you in my room.” He started to whine and say “Ma ma come, ma ma come.” I said “You can do it. I’m not leaving you alone, I can see you from my room.” He insisted me to go with him. I said ” It’s your choice of doing it now all by yourself and come snuggle with me when you’re done or you’ll wet your pants.”  Then he said “Oh! No! It’s too late!” Then I said ” Too bad! I’ve already told you what will happen and you made your own choice. Now you need to clean up your own mess!” So I take some clean clothings, some clean towels for wipng the floor, some lysol wet naps and some wet naps for wiping himself. I guided him to do everything all by himself with my supervision. After all the cleaning, I asked what he should have chosen  and does his like cleaning his mess. He said he should have gone by himself. I used the “common sense consequences” parenting skill and hope he understands cause and effects.
