Selective Negotiations

That is what I go through every day with my toddler. I will say something like:
" Belen, if you dont go to sleep you are going to ....... (insert threats like, live with the gypsies or sleep in the closet)
I think she hears:
Belen...dont go to sleep....gypsies... are sleeping in the closet.
or
"Belen, if you go sit down on the potty and do a poop you get a treat". Belen hears:
Belen.... sit down and poop and get a treat.
