It might seem not to go along with other choices I've made, like co-sleeping and unschooling, but oh well! I have told them that being obedient to their parents is their job right now. In return, I only tell them to do something when it's really important. It all goes toward the goal of a peaceful home. I am balancing a lot of needs, and if I need a child to go get her socks on, etc., she needs to do it right now. She just needs to trust me that it's important.<BR/>Works for us. :-)Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543690962370750842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387419236432646206.post-14220278844504539112008-09-22T09:47:00.000-05:002008-09-22T09:47:00.000-05:00I could have written this about my two.

I've had to teach my older one not to just hand over his toys because his little brother screams; he's gotten quite good about standing up for himself and letting him scream if he wants to.
