Not to say that Little Princess doesn’t behave … exactly … it’s just that sometimes a Mommy of a Princess needs a little, ah, guidance? Right?
Let’s say LP only eats 2 foods, and 1 of those is “toast without crust.”
Or there are frequent level 4 meltdowns, and her ability to project her voice from here to Venus improves hourly.
In the Taming the Princess series, we report on parenting tips that at least sort of work.
Tip #1 is try 1-2-3 Magic ($10.17). Lots of specific advice for getting LP to behave, using Time Out and various reward systems. Best for: Parents who can really stick to their guns. The key is repetition and consistency. Tried it? Leave a comment!

The best parenting book ever. Hands down. Lots of strategies. Explains that parental follow through is really the most important thing. I re-read it every six months or so to reinforce and pick up new tips that didn’t stick the first (or fourth) time.
