I usually do end up shouting for everyone to be quiet so I can drive safely, especially when on unfamiliar roads or motorways where I cant safely pull in. I absolutely understand the the principle of this conversation, but putting it into practice in that kind of scenario is very hard, especially when both kids are shouting. But out of the car – yes, this approach has worked wonders for all of us!

Thank you for the recommendation of the book. Thank you for the blog. There are so many books about parenting that I really don’t know where to begin. I have 4 children, the eldest being 21 then 8,7 and 1.7yrs old. Reading your blogs has given me hope and also a reality check with our current family dynamic. It’s been a very challenging couple of years and since validating that I need time for myself (only in the past week) to be able to function with love and patience and also to set an example for all my children when they will one day have their own families, it’s been a huge weight off my shoulders. I have been more patient with them and also taken the time to see how disconnected I’ve become with my children. It’s time to reconnect. I’m hoping and praying that I will be able to reconnect and make our journey together happy and joyous again as a family.

I am wondering what kind of activities do you do with your toddlers? They probably follow their bigger sisters but I also have a three year old boy and he’s not really interested in coloring or painting. He just really likes to sword fight lol. A suggestion for a new post could be maybe unschooling toddlers?

Love your blog and your insight!

It really helps me to think through what I can say, such as verbal mirroring, when we have disagreements and fights. This is very helpful.
