A friend told me about a family gathering where her three-year-old grandson seemed completely out of control. 🌪

Everyone had an opinion.

"He just has lots of energy."
"He'll grow out of it."
"Someone needs to control this child.”

Finally, his grandfather quietly walked over, knelt down, made eye contact, and said in a calm and firm voice, "You're welcome to play, but you're not welcome to climb on the furniture. Come with me."

No yelling. No threats. No negotiation.
