I got an email from my mom the other day that said, "You talk too much." You know what? She is right! Let's back up... As I have written, Little Man has caused me to seek wisdom from some of the best disciplinarians in the world. For me, that is family members. I am surrounded by adults who know how to love, lead, and discipline children ...

Keeping Shoes and Socks on in the Car
As I type, Little Man is buckled up in his car seat in the garage. He thought it was really cool to take off his shoes and socks (which he knows not to do). While that is a lot of fun, it makes life much harder for Mommy. With the temperatures bordering frigid, I have no desire to stand outside to put his shoes ...
Review: Kibbles Rockin’ Clubhouse
You know a particular product is successful when your child pulls out specific content (both positive and negative) and applies it to every day life.

Gift Idea: Charlie Church Mouse & Keys of the Kingdom Computer Games

My kids continue to beg to play them and even Little Man begs to watch his siblings play with them. These are items that I will be giving for Christmas and ones that you should have on your list too!

Practice Makes Perfect?
Little Man struggles to get into his car seat. Oh, it's not because he can't. It is because he gets distracted from all of the buttons, gadgets, insects, items on the floor - basically, you name it - on the way to his seat. (Remember my posts about Spirited Children?") So a few mornings ago, we practiced getting in and ...
Stopping a Catastrophe Before it Starts
The biggest secret for raising a child with Sensory Processing Disorder and some Spirited Children is to stop a catastrophe before it starts. The title makes it sound simple doesn't it? But, I believe this is the best way to help your child succeed. Children with sensory issues typically have random meltdowns or lose control due to over ...
Sin is Not Cute
I looked out my kitchen window the other day to see Little Man doing something that he isn't supposed to do. I stepped outside and told him to come here, which he disobeyed. Daddy took over for me at that point. From the kitchen window again, I saw a crying little 2-year-old trying to reason with his Daddy about why he shouldn't be in trouble. ...
