Today’s post comes directly from the wisdom of my mother and a little book called How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk. by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish.
The Value of Value Tales
Because my son has ADHD, and it is difficult for him to succeed in a classroom setting due to the fact that he is easily bored and therefore prone to getting into trouble, and the things and people around him often turn into distractions, my husband and I decided this year to pull him out of school and home school him.
Why I Don’t Punish My Three Year Old
The other day, a picture I took of my daughter throwing a small tantrum was featured on one of those Instagram accounts that highlights photos parents have snapped during a child’s tantrums. I was very excited and thankful for the free publicity, so I clicked the link to see if anyone had liked or commented on the picture. It had received several likes, but the only comment left thus far on the picture was that of a woman who had felt the need to make it public that she would no longer be following this account because, although she enjoyed the parenting memes, she did not appreciate the regular posting of pictures of children in the throes of a tantrum.
