- I do think it's a good practice to address the merits of a kid's argument, but IMO, like everything in life, there is no one approach works all the time. Also, different kids probably respond better or worse to the same approach. It seems that even in the same family, some kids need more discipline, and some need less.
Parenting is a trip. Each week I'm doing more of it. When I spoke to the girls parents that threw the party at my house she jokingly said, "way till your daughter is 17", I imagine it's a whole lot more complicated arguing with them than it is a child in a supermarket. -Perhaps not so different though, unless you teach them how to successfully argue, then it might even be a joy to partake in.
