I think indirect and direct praise worked waaaaay more for us as kids (and even now?) than criticism :) catomd00 on "Do you talk about issues in front of your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-talk-about-issues-in-front-of-your-lo#post-2388924 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 09:21:32 +0000 catomd00 2388924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, we never have. Even though she's not even 2 I just don't feel write talking negatively about her in front of her, even if it's just saying how tired I am because she has been sleeping poorly. I feel bad!

She just turned 2 and I didn't make it a habit prior to her being able to understand so now I'm trying to break myself of that. I want her only to ever hear me saying good things about her.

My oldest was a bit shy and withdrawn in prechool after we moved and we talked about it some with DH while she was there. I think it helped her some and she offered ideas too on what would help.

Only positive things! My DS's anxiety is high enough on his own I don't need to add to it mrbee on "Do you talk about issues in front of your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-talk-about-issues-in-front-of-your-lo#post-2388731 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 01:16:03 +0000 mrbee 2388731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Bao: Sometimes I will let the kids "overhear" me telling Bee something that I pretend to tell her quietly... like how impressed I was by my son's latest drawing, or how I liked how my daughter shared with her brother. They will listen carefully and then run over beaming and break into the conversation! daniellemybelle on "Do you talk about issues in front of your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-talk-about-issues-in-front-of-your-lo#post-2388652 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 23:04:11 +0000 daniellemybelle 2388652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO is 2 and we have to watch ourselves more. Sometimes I catch myself discussing her behavior with other adults when she is in earshot and I have to do a better job of not doing that! sorrycharlie on "Do you talk about issues in front of your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-talk-about-issues-in-front-of-your-lo#post-2388416 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 20:23:56 +0000 sorrycharlie 2388416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope.

I'm not sure others understand this though, that certain things shouldn't be discussed in front of LO's. We have been to family events the past few weeks, and our family knows about some things briefly and they will bring them up around them. I have to tell them we can talk about it later. Specifically related to your LO, if your LO is having an issue with something and you talk to your SO about it, do you do it in front of your LO?
