Hi Donette,

The theme we use for this site supposedly has an iPad specific configuration which is turned on, but since I don’t have an iPad I don’t see what it looks like. Can you tell me a bit more about what it’s doing or not doing and I’ll see if I can adjust the theme to make it work. We certainly want you to have as good of an experience as possible!

I am trying to do so much unsupported on any level with my son(s). My husband outright yells at my son who says it is high time he started sitting down and doing what he is told. My son just laughed. You could see something just curl up ready to spring inside him! We both as children were subject to mainstream corporal punishment as kids (although husband denies it) and we just did not *DO* some of the stuff that my son ‘gets away with’.

For both of us – it is having the *words* to say when the action appears – that is hanging us up from moving forward. I do not wish to see my son’s brilliant little personality cowed and broken like ours were.

*Any link/post you have on this would be welcome. I am trying to print them at school so I am not dependent on the tube to get my information.

Trying to have hope…

[...] So, in our last “back to basics” post, we looked at how to develop a framework in order to look at guiding our children in a loving way. Another post that may help stimulate some thought on this topic is this back post regarding how parents view children as “defiant”.

Excellent resources and information. My husband and I get into the same argument about our “spirited” four year old all the time… his expectations of the child are too high, he doesn’t choose his battles and the answer to whatever our son asks is always immediately… “No…”

I will definately pass this on to him as he needs to see that it’s not just “our son” that has trouble listening and behaving after he’s told to do something once.
