The first time I did it the kids really didn't know what to think. Then they got used to it and they got the hint. Whenever there was a little too much attitude (and believe me when I say, you are lucky you only have one girl) or they were fighting or whatever, I would just very quietly say, "I'm going to my room, don't bother me, I'll be back in a few minutes". In my case, it was good for me and for them, for me to remove myself from the situation, whatever it was. They got the hint that Mom was close to a melt down and I got to breath a little. It usually worked and when it didn't...I used chocolate also. In my opinion, it really is the best medicine for everything.
