    You are not giving much information to get a helpful response. Basically, do not argue with the LO. Example: LO says ‘the sky is green!’ The best response: “Wow, that’s great!” LO: ‘I hate green beans’ best response: ‘Oh, I’m sorry, I wont make them again”( Not, ‘ you’ve always loved green beans’)

    Agreeing + distracting is far more effective than trying to convince LO of ANYTHING. Perhaps if you gave a specific example of what he is arguing about, someone would have the similar problem

Commonly Used Abbreviations
