Also, I find it's really helpful as a parent to have other parents to complain about how unruly, disobedient and exasperating the children are - it lets out some of the emotional energy of the frustration of parenting in a safe way, so that when I"m back in the room alone with the stubborn willful and beloved child I am much more likely to take the "deep breath" advice and much less likely to act in ways that aren't how I wish to parent.
It's hard, but hitting rarely conveys the message one wishes to pass on as a parent, and doesn't really do much in the way of making good adults. But the past is past, kids are resilient once we parents get our act together. --Chris Thanks, --Chris [email protected] +1-301-270-6524 On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 6:23 AM, Kristopher Grey <[email protected]> wrote: > Perhaps you could buy the child a small parrot to care for and train... > > KG > > > On 8/22/2013 10:19 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > Dear sirs, > > > > Today unfortunately I have beaten my younger child for not speaking.
