Calling dibs
Kids will call dibs on things they want. When there is one last slice of chocolate pie, they want it! “DIBS! It’s mine!”
Oh no it is not!
This is one way kids will control their parents along with so many other techniques like using a tone of authority when asking a question or making statements instead of asking questions.
Parents must stand their ground. Teach your child that you make the decisions. Do not stress over this parents. One day, your child will be the leader of their house and you would have taught them the right way of leading.
