Recently, I found myself engaged in a lengthy and thoroughly tiresome battle with my tween. She had decided that her homework was JUST TOO MUCH and was teetering between hollering vicious insults at her teacher (who may just about have been able to hear, given the ungodly volume of my daughter’s voice at 9 p.m.) and liquifying into a lake-sized puddle of tears before my eyes. Suddenly, I remembered a trick I used to pull when we’d fight over this very issue five years ago… treat training! Turns out, it works just as well on tweens as it does on preschoolers and, you know, dogs.
