I just so happened to do that last one today, my son and I were waiting for the bus he is 4 by the way, and I was watching him as he explored a bush nearby, when I don’t know what came over me or why, but I all of a sudden became Bruce Lee [sound effects and all] and he immediately obliged me and engaged in a good old fashion Karate fest! which lasted about 15 mins. I’ve never seen him enjoy running errands as much as he did today [I had fun too]

i can understand the eight ways but what they fail to put in there is the fact that both mom and dad need to do it together. as i was told it starts with the parents then the kids. more like monkey see monkey do. if you want to see results you need to show them the way.

As I was reading down the list I kept thinking yep, yep, yep, that’s me. I am so busted! Years of doing the opposite of what your actually suppose to be doing, I am so glad someone posted the list. It’s easy to understand, which is a plus. And not only that it’s never to late to break old habits to start new ones. I now keep a copy of the list to remind myself of how to do it the right way. And as a reward, for doing it the right way, mommie gets a reward, kids who behave. And to any partent, that’s the best reward!

I have friends, with 2 boys 5 and 7. It pains me to see these two great people struggle with their boys. I don’t know how to help them. Now my husband and I are not great at parenting either. I could say we have trouble with a few of the eight things ourselves.

I particularly have trouble with setting limits. She’s still young enough that as each new situation comes up, I haven’t pre-planned what the limit SHOULD be. Then I toss one out there quickly, later rethink it, later revise it again. I think way too freakin’ much!
