Parenting Resources
A couple of months ago, I promised I'd do a post of linking up to various sites/resources I've found useful in parenting. And I was going to, but in the holiday and New Year rush, I never did, but PhDinParenting did a toddler-focused post on discipline that contained many of the links I was going to include, so I'll send you there: 3 Rs of Toddler Discipline: Repetition, Reaction, Reassurance.
One book she didn't mention, but I want to is Respectful Parents, Respeciful Kids 7 Keys to Turn Family Conflict into Cooperation, which is based on Non-Violent Communication, which I absolutely love.
I also like Teacher Tom's creative ways to handle conflict and discipline. Check out that blog sometime.
I am offended—OFFENDED—you have not listed nor discussed one of the most important and deeply serious skills a parent needs: humor. To that end, I am charitably directing you to my own site and article on using stupidity to address serious issues.

Super post! Just like your blog professionalism! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI love the Three R's post!
ReplyDeleteI love Teacher Tom. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for these lovely links! I've been getting decent results as of late by focusing on empathizing and not personalizing my son's tantrums. Sometimes it's really hard, but I remind myself that I need to give him an example of how to handle difficult feelings--including the ones induced by feeling helpless or frustrated by his behavior.
