pastigger After I put my daughter down she would start to cry and I would not go back until she stopped crying. This sometimes took some time, but the good news is it will take less and less time each time that you do it. When you go back in she knows that if she keeps...

pastigger Usually it is the older kids like 13 or 14 that are turned away and it is just sad it is just a fun holiday. A day to dress up and have fun, trick or treating is just part of the fun.
