Drama Queens (and Kings)

I have a bunch of drama queens and kings at my house. Every thing is just so dramatic if it doesn't go their way.
The ways we deal with it are to
  • ignore it
  • send them to their room until they get a better attitude (they decide when to come out...this is different than a Time Out)
  • and in some cases you can't help but laugh at it....
Tonight Josie decided she was going to let milk dribble down her chin. She was reprimanded and got a really hurt look in her eyes. This as followed by crying and putting her forehead down on the table.
This would have been all the more convincing if she hadn't kept peeking to see if she was getting the desired reaction.

I have one who, after a spectacular crash in the playground, had to find an audience before the crying commenced. I think they all do it, but clearly Josie does it better.
