Thank you for showing how you worked together through those sad feelings too. Thank you.

Yes! I considered turning off the camera (indefinitely) but then it dawned on me! ***THIS IS REAL PARENTING***

[@jennieshundar]

So great to get to see the calm and helpful guidance, love and understanding Christian got to support him through his big feelings 💖 Thanks for showing real (and awesome) parenting 💞 (I also loved the visual list and your positive way of parenting overall!) A question: Do you guys follow the block schedule each and every day, or does it depend on if it's a "normal" day or not?

[@CarnahanFam]

You are so welcome! It’s not always easiest being with those big emotions but it definitely pays off! 💛 As for our block schedule, we definitely try for our blocks each day but it definitely depends if it’s a “normal“ day or not! For example we don’t normally have our “outings blocked“ right before bedtime 🤣🤣🤣 but it’s the only time that dad was home to go shopping with us, so it’s just a moment we can practice being flexible! Our block schedule keeps us organized and gives us momentum throughout the day but I definitely try to be realistic with different seasons of life! Another great example is it’s hard to see Christmas lights from 10:30 AM to noon 😉 Christmas is a funny time of year for this! 😅🎄

@@CarnahanFam Love the combo of being organized while staying flexible! 😍

[@CarnahanFam]

You are so welcome! These are real moments and real things we all struggle with his parents! Hopefully it was helpful! 💛

[@piyadapanjaroen6207]

It is helpful and make us understand more and how to do it in real life. I hope you would share us more about how to do positive discipline. Thank you

This was so sweet. You’re doing a great job raising your kids!

[@youngdeku6634]

This is a great idea, and very very sweet. I'd like to do this with our family in the future.

[@CarnahanFam]

I hope you do too! 💛

Thanks for sharing with us and I love the breathing you two did

[@CarnahanFam]

It was as good for me as it was for him 😅

[@ladyjonah1236]

I like that you used pictures of the people for a visual list.

[@CarnahanFam]

Yes! Visual lists are THE BEST! 😍

Sweet boy it’s ok to be sad Maybe you can ask mom to take a picture of the big red car you want so you can show Santa what you want for Christmas.

[@CarnahanFam]

Yes! Love validating those feelings! It’s so important for them to know that those feelings are valid! ❤️
