He stopped, but he also completely shut down, went to a dark corner of the room and laid on the floor. A while later, when I called him, he wouldn't come. The poor thing was afraid! I feel so stupid for taking that advice. From my experience, the can of pennies is a bad idea. Now I have to rebuild our relationship again. |
Poor baby!! It had NO effect on my group at all...I shook and rattled that can until it was hurting MY ears and the kidss would look at me like, "What is that can about?" and then they started back up again....!
