Question
Thank you SO much for your advice. Things are going much better. A lot of the drama and stress has cut down. Both kids (2 and 15 months) are happier. I have been praying about it and seeking Godly counsel from a mother in my church who parents the “old school” way. I am all for the old school way that John teaches and I have seen it work. I am trying to raise my kids that way. I made two lists and put them on the fridge for when I am to too tired to remember. One list has the “issues” we are working on and then the consequences. The other list has important things written down: put God and marriage first, use few words, be confident, don’t let kids frustrate you, etc. These lists and the wisdom you have shared have worked. We are still working on my daughter’s (2 yr) attitude problem but a lot of the other issues are clearing up. She is now totally diaper free and this morning woke up for the first time totally dry. Thank you so much for listening and giving such good advice.
