And I completely agree with Denise about consistency...that is key. One thing we really work hard at is not responding emotionally when our kids test us and act out, its hard to do but so effective. We use a one-two-three method too that really seems to work. <br /><br />And I couldn't agree with you more about using the Bible itself as our final authority, as parents and for any other issue. It's so easy to read great books on things but never take the time to pray and search God's word for ourselves. That's the best way to achieve wisdom!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231197848904182078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-74875503324450515882012-02-21T12:23:19.184-07:002012-02-21T12:23:19.184-07:00First of all, I am loving this series as well.
My ...First of all, I am loving this series as well.<br />My son is 3 years old as of today. Something we do that works really well with him right now is counting. I start with 1 to get his attention. Then explain what he needs to do to fix his behavior and the consequence for not complying. (e.g. Let me put on your diaper or you will get a swat. Stop yelling or you will sit in time out. etc.) Then I start counting again. I rarely have to get 3 anymore. Just another idea to throw out there.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731429709333401301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-5371279149743739402012-02-21T12:12:50.104-07:002012-02-21T12:12:50.104-07:00I LOVE these posts, Leslie!!
