On February 21st, Amy McCready is partnering with momstown to host a
free Positive Parenting webinar. The topic is discipline, and how to
get your children to listen to you without having to nag or yell. Some
of the momstown mamas and I were talking about it, and how great it is
to be able to have these tactics up your sleeve when your kids are
acting out. As our children grow, there will be (have been) times where
we run out of ideas. We don't know what to say our do, and we have to
figure out what, out of all the advice we get, is going to work for our
family.
When my nieces were living with us, although
they were only 2 and 3, they knew exactly who to listen to and when. In
other words, they knew that I didn't know how to deal with their
misbehaviour, so they walked all over me, but listened to their Uncle
like angels. How great would it have been to have someone from the
outside offer guidance, and a different perspective. Ugh, I wish. In
hindsight, I can tell you exactly what I would've done differently. But
as parents, we don't get the opportunity to sit back and examine the
situation before dealing with it. So we have to use the good ol' Girl
Guide rule: ALWAYS BE PREPARED.
This webinar will help
us prepare, give us some perspective and some tactics to use when we
think we're out of ideas. So I'll be doing what one of the other mamas
suggested to me yesterday- I'm going to take notes and use them when my
sweet little angel tests my limits, and I'm pretty sure I've run out of
ideas. So if you haven't registered to join us, follow this link and register to
join in!
