As parents we all want to teach our children to get along well with others and obey us. Even if you or I think our children are pretty well behaved, There's ALWAYS room for improvement. Recently I got a hold of a book Called "Have a new kid by Friday" by Dr. Kevin Leman. I have already started making some changes because of reading this book. One is I have decided to Stop giving so many chances to Josiah. Hes a limit tester and will always see how far he can push someone before they make him obey. Two is I have been working on not yelling. Yes I yell sometimes. Don't all Parents? I grew up in a home where there was constant yelling by my parents and me and brother and sister. As children my siblings and I didn't get along very well. As adults we get along great. Now I can say my sister is my best friend. I want my kids to be best friends and get along well there WHOLE lives and not just when they become adults. I want them to be respectful of there dad an I. I don't want to have to spank and repeat things to them and yell at them for them to listen to me. I want to have a healthy relationship with them and not be an Authoritarian Parent. I want a peaceful house. So I am reading this book in hopes that it will help me and my children change our ways. I will be posting some main points from the book so stay tuned.
