A couple of your posts from a few years ago really resonated with me, so we will be trying a similar approach. I agree with everything you said here, and I've even said said it myself. We all have challenges I life unique to us and it is so silly to try to compare. But, it's nice to be reminded and encouraged once in a while, especially by someone a little further along in their parenting than I am.

Those are all at the heart of parenting. The kind that will instill values among children and will help them be resilient and endure in the face of all challenges. No matter what the domestic configuration, whether you're a single parent or married parents, commitment is what decides. <br /><br /><a href="http://thebridgeacross.livejournal.com/1270.html" rel="nofollow">Carlos Strey @ The Bridge Across</a> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575041883836940182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574832774101813976.post-3319465854978981162014-06-04T10:31:41.358-07:002014-06-04T10:31:41.358-07:00Have you heard of Amy McCready?

I love her approach to parenting, it focuses on creating a positive environment so kids want to behave and filling their attention bucket with positive time and words and actions so they have no need to get attention by disobeying. She has my very favorite parenting philosophy out there.chercardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314841357351024070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574832774101813976.post-74705167064756231802014-06-04T08:20:51.311-07:002014-06-04T08:20:51.311-07:00I saw your title and knew I'd need to read thi...I saw your title and knew I'd need to read this post today.
