Helping our kids deal with their emotions rather than controlling them.... something I have found very challenging, but definately worthwhile.

I will never forget the first time I walked away, calmly from a screaming child, they were dumb founded and followed me to continue the fit and I just kept moving from room to room never acknowledging them, it was so funny. Change takes time but makes it worth it when you see the change in behavior, I think the school should adapt this method. Our church offers classes, you should suggest your church do the same.

Thank you for bringing that up. There has to be a balance, as is with everything, but I think far too many parents control too much of their children's lives and then those children are left to struggle and learn everything on their own that they should have learned while still in the safety of home. I think it's a method similar to God's plan for us. He is always there for us, but we have to ask and check in with Him. He doesn't stand over our heads, beating things into our brain. He lets us mess up and gives us second chances and learn how we learn best. And of course His is the perfect Love.No Big Dill https://www.blogger.com/profile/08414131508018685093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-14720111171203377612012-10-26T00:29:58.966-04:002012-10-26T00:29:58.966-04:00I'm going to stick out of the crowd and say &q...I'm going to stick out of the crowd and say "meh", not a big fan :)<br /><br />The parents and children I have witnessed, who rave about this seem to be implementing a lot of logic... not as much love :) Maybe they're doing it wrong? But it's super annoying. And those kids take 100 times longer to do things and make decisions. And they seem to know how to wield the control over their parents.<br /><br />I feel like parents who give their decisions THOUGHT will end up being very logical and very loving!<br /><br />None of you should sell yourselves short and think that you're not good parents without a "method" :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15312134160981908620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-46773160905038447322012-10-26T00:04:46.711-04:002012-10-26T00:04:46.711-04:00I'm yet another raving fan of L&L.

Then I forgot everything in the book. Sigh. I need to reread it. I like that it's principle based so you can apply it to your unique needs. The version for young children (toddler magic? something...I can't remember) is the one I initially read but it teaches the essentially same principles as all the versions, the full version, the one for teachers, etc. Anyway...thank you for the reminder. The hardest thing for me is to let my children make mistakes, but I've got to!

We were exasperated and relying too much on "because I said so," but now we give our kids the power to make their own choices. The shift in our house is palpable. Mutual respect reigns.<br /><br />I'll have to check out Parenting with Love and Logic.

All I could think over and over was what a terrible mom I am. Today I read your blog and i will be running out to get the book.

It's not letting me post the link but google 100 days of real food. <br /><br />I would like to think someone is listening to my prayers about learning a better way.

Sorry no one told you about it earlier. :( And, although it can be really cheesy and is meant for couples (and the cover is awful!) The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman is worth a perusal as well.
