Though this bit of information is relevant, but not enough in and of itself; to get the Beast to stop chasing you, you need to first say your name when he asks, then, with the towel over your head, carve your name into the list of his previous victims. For that reason I didn't get a whole lot out of this other than encouragement to keep on doing what I've been doing, because it's backed by science and experience. For instance, once I started ignoring bad behavior at bedtime, I was very motivated to being super attentive and loving in the morning when they woke up – I snuggle them, we read books, I talk to them during breakfast and it’s actually MUCH easier for me to do so because I’m not drained from dealing with bedtime antics for two or three hours every evening.

The title suggests that not acknowledging them will help, Mark's mother suggests to ignore them to make them go away and actually talking about them increases the risk of them harming you or those around you. Then when you respond, even if it’s with anger or frustration, you are reinforcing that behavior as a behavior that works to get attention. He'll crash your game if you don't immediately ignore him and put up the camera again, which will de-summon him. I saw so much of my own family in the anecdotes and was reminded of ways that I could implement Ignore It!

I’d still recommend this one but obviously I have some feedback and I think that’s pretty normal for most parenting books I read. This totally reminds me of the Quimby family’s reaction to Ramona when she takes one bite out of all the apples downstairs. Edit: one sucky unintentional side effect of this technique is that—as with all parenting—your kids end up copying you. Rather than fight or even expose them, Ben just puts himself on the sidelines, even going as far as to watch paint dry.Instead of improved behavior parents are ensuring that the behavior will not only continue but often get worse. Bendy responds by shaking up a soda and spraying Boris with it, but Boris is still successful in keeping Bendy's lunch.
