Thank you . I always find your guidance helpful and in harmony with the truth . ☮️ from New York p.s. I have 2 roosters and one lamb all girls . My 13 yr old is going through the hormonal shift and having this awareness as to what is truly taking place within her brought me to have more compassion and less frustration.

My daughter she has epelipsy and she is four years old. Many times she says no for something and when we take the thing off she says I want it. It goes opposite way as well. Ultimately she cries till I hug her. What suggest would you recommend pls

I’m here because of eating. The high chair was hard. 3 year old twins got each other’s back when I try and punish one the other literally comes up and pushes me and basically tells me to back off which makes me almost cry to watch how they protect each other. I think the problem is we let them snack on popcorn or granola and breakfast is basically lunch. I told my wife we have to start eating earlier if we expect them to be interested and actually hungry. They both have my wife’s strong will and when I need her to do something I basically have to put her in an arm lock. And by that I repeat myself for months on end until she tries it. Rearing my children I’ve listened to my instinct since day 1. My wife has used mom experience on the internet. So many times I tried to get her to do things and she would refuse. She refused to eat anything healthy when pregnant it was all processed foods (I’m still angry about it) she slept in the same room as our son and said he didn’t sleep through the night. I said because he hears, sees/feels, smells her presence, after months of sleepless nights she said I’m done sleeping in his room. And what do you know, he slept his first night without waking her up because she wasn’t there. I’m not trying to bash my wife’s parenting skill, what I’m saying is rely more on your instinct and not what someone on the internet says. I’ve learned that it’s easier to just try and change the subject or ignore the fit and turn the focus towards something else usually it takes no time and they’ll be laughing with a tear coming out their eye and then it’s behind us.

so hard to discipline when she asked for phone omg.. my last option is to scare her when she cried so much.. i would tell her the spider might awake, then she stopped crying .. waaa

I hear NO and I have a room full of 3 year old toddlers. 12 consistent nos and defiants whenever you say anything. I redirect but how can I do this to a classroom. Its taxing and I am about to quit
