Ut a parentis, alicubi in linea inveni "cum essem parvulus" trick.
Mea filius, an quatuor aut quinque dies, ludit a Balloon et sicut maxime pueri quod ludere cum Balloons, he popped it. He was very upset. The world had come to an end. I said to him, "Cum erat puer, Me a Balloon et popped et tandem, I got a new balloon." It seemed to help him cope with his loss and led to a fun talk about what it was like when I was a little boy.
That worked well as a consolation technique and I used it a several times over the next period of time. I did get into trouble once when his Monster Rancher 3 creature died. I talked about how my dog, Princeps, had died in a car accident. Hoc tempore, responsum erat, "Autem sentio malum de duo!" I shied away from using the "when I was a little boy" artem consolationem post quod.
Ante mortuus canis incidunt, autem, I had also started to use the technique to convince him to do chores. "Cum essem parvulus, Me ire et adepto diurna ", "Mundare mea locus", "Adepto mammam eius capulus calicem", etc.
Hoc erat pulchellus prospere enim a dum, but he started to increasingly rebel against the tyranny of my childhood. One event, in particulari, marked the end. I told him to bring the garbage cans from curb back to the garage. He argued and I responded, "Cum essem parvulus, I had to take the garbage back to the garage." He responded, "O Yeah! Well when you were a little boy, quod erat BRUTUS!".
