(even the guy who wrote love and logic has said that it doesn't work with children with rad kids). i also judged all kinds of moms at the park with their crazy kids until i had challenging kids myself. i was totally hit by karma eventually. so i really try not to judge other moms and their kids behavior.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05561982435019506568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895486353236256834.post-48631826789434774992011-09-02T08:41:01.825-07:002011-09-02T08:41:01.825-07:00I found you through the rerun girls. I have an 19 ...I found you through the rerun girls. I have an 19 month old and I would NEVER say any of these things...including the ones in the other posts. Exception being the hurry up - b/c who knows maybe I WILL do that later when he's older. <br /><br />I am obsessed /w super nanny! and the baby whisperer :) so we haven't had many problems. You are totally right about disciplining RIGHT AWAY!<br /><br />even though my son is young he gets a "pep-talk" before every outing and knows if he doesn't listen to mommy he's leaving the park or going back in the stroller :) and you know what.....he only cries for less than a minute about it b/c he KNOWS I'll follow through :)<br /><br />I think it's all about balancing fair discipline with meaningful praise :D You are right....do you have any children???<br /><br />PS: I'd also like to add that I saw a mom with 3 kids going crazy at the park and OF COURSE they didn't change their behaviour or listen b/c she didn't follow through. I think I heard her threaten to leave the park over 20 times!!!! - no exaggeration!Ali Mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09825324100108230608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895486353236256834.post-43737065158863270782011-09-01T12:30:20.316-07:002011-09-01T12:30:20.316-07:00These make so much sense!
