C is a very visual learner, so when I correct her, I tend to give her a visual example so she understands best. When she yells and tantrums at J, I tell her she's behaving like a two year old because she knows how they behave and gets a mental picture of her behavior.
Me: Come here! You're acting like a two year old again.
C: Yes, I am.
Me: You're shrieking and yelling at J.
C: Well...(explanation of what she wanted).
Me: Why do two year olds yell and scream?
C: Because they don't know the words!
Me: Right!
C: That's also why hummingbirds hum!
If you give a kid a joke book...
