Stop light system for discipline for Ethan

Had Ethan draw circle, line, triangle, name colors, check blood pressure, eyes, ears (look for Elves)

I took both boys to the pedi for check ups this morning.  We discussed DS1's increasingly defiant/strong willed personality.  The first question he asked was if the behavior happens with other people or just inside the home.  When I told him it was just with us, he said it's completely normal.  If DS starts showing the same traits with the sitter, etc. then it's time to discuss things.

He recommend we use the Stop Light system for discipline, which seems common sense enough but helps evaluate things.  Red behaviors are dangerous/major issues and require immediate attention through TO/time in his room.  Yellow behaviors are "annoying" but not dangerous and should be ignored.  Green behaviors are positive where praise should be laid on thick.  Seems simple enough and helps put things in perspective.  Just thought I'd share.
