A Look back at the early days

I can't remember what it looked like in my house when I decided that this Parenting On Track lady may be on to something. I remember meeting Vicki at an elementary teacher conference.  She was the speaker and I was the eager second grade teacher ready to start my school year. After about ten seconds of listening to her say, "Time out was originally designed for adults", I tuned her out and went back to planning. Although I did not have kids of my own, I did have some teaching experience and I LOVED time out. Very long story short: I called her in tears two months later wanting her help!

I implemented her strategies in my classroom ever since and then when I had children of my own - well I was a groupy. My first theory to test: "When they can walk, they can work." Here are some of my early home videos. Not the usual video mind you.
