You Always Have a Choice

An External Control Theory parent might say:

If you don't stop[ fighting over the TV, dad and I are goint to shut it off for a week.

A Choice Theory parent might say this:

How about this? When we get the TV Guide on Sunday, we'll go through it together. We'll each get a choice, and we'll rotate who goes first to keep it fair. This way the worst that can happen is that we'll only have to fight over the TV once a week.
