Wow, it is not often that I get to be a "first" on a thread.....

We don't have to yell at our kids - we are not a "yelling" family, so even raising our voices at our kids really upsets them! I learned a long time ago, when my son was going through the terrible 2's, and 3's, and uh... well, you know..... I decided to whisper to him to get his attention. Believe it or not, it worked......he would have to strain to hear me and he got the message really quickly that he better straighten up or Mommy was REALLY going to be angry when we got home......

I attended a love and logic parenting course after my divorce. It works like a charm - an absolutely awesome program.

Who cares?
