... according to Minibags aged four and a half (found it just now jotted in a notebook when I was looking for something else): "Coping" is managing by yourself or doing something THAT YOU DON'T LIKE!

So presumably she'll be able to relate this to her alarm clock issue grin

They are so funny, aren't they. I once overheard DD2 and her best mate Amy, both aged 7, earnestly discussing parenting skills. They agreed it was best to be 'firm, but kind'. grin

Fabulous - minibags will go far won't she. Also loved jeaneainsworth's 'firm but kind' approach to parenting, out of the mouths of babes etc
