I just read this tonight. Great article!

I like the part where they recommend visualizing them as a baby! I've been getting a bit frustrated lately b/c DD is clearly testing her boundaries now and I think that might help me.

That was a good article! I have definitely noticed getting short with Brynn when I am angry with someone else, I know I really need to keep that seperate.

That was a great article to read after I had to scream at my 4 and 7 year old at bedtime because asking them nicely four times just wasn't working.

Ehh, not the best article. The sound level of your voice must rise at times and I challenge anyone who says they have never raised their voice to their child. This article makes it seem like there are always explatives involved or putting down of the child. It isn't easy being a parent and no one is perfect. I yelled at DS yesterday for pushing his sister again and again. I sat him down and told him to chill down for a moment. He got his moment, I got my chill down moment. Then we hugged and talked about why he was frustrated with her (taking "his" toy) and why I was frustrated (trying to keep everyone safe and he kept pushing). I think he'll be just fine.
