I have worked really hard to stay at level 0 with my kids this week (doesn't always work, but I try) and have done a lot of practicing with my kids on behaviors that I expect and how chores should be finished. We have also tried to work with teaching our kids about logical consequences and that while we do love them and want what is best for them, we are going to let the logical consequences happen if they make a poor decision. I love what I am learning about how to be a better parent in this class!

For FHE this week we role played different scenarios that happen at home (times where contention, whining, and throwing fits usually occur). We acted out the wrong way to act and the right way to act for each scenario. We were all dying with laughter, literally rolling on the floor. My kids thought it wAs hilarious to watch mom and dad act like them and thought it was super fun to act like mom and dad. We also role played the 4 step apology. After doing it a few times and practicing with my boys during the week they have the steps down. Even my 3 year old knows them. So grateful for all these great ideas!! I'm learning so much!

During my son's senior year I had to make some tough decisions using the tool of natural consequences. At the time, I thought for sure that he would learn from that experience because I let him feel the pain of his choices. But it seemed to go from bad to worse. He thought I was against him and trying to make his life more difficult. I still struggle with those hard decisions I felt forced to make. I am hoping that someday he will see that I was really on his side even during those hard times. Looking back I could have been better at biting my tongue and showing him in other ways that I truly did love him.

I wasn't able to be in class last week but tried practicing some of the tools. It is amazing what can happen when I am positive and use the tools to teach rather than just getting mad and angry when they didn't behave. I've taught my kids the correct apology and used the role playing. So grateful for the opportunity I have to learn how to be a better mom. How to be positive and to teach my kids rather than punish. I'm learning so so much about myself right now and I'm grateful for the changes I'm seeing and for the Lord blessing me and my family. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
