Everyone is healthy. Now it is time to re-teach and re-train!
Good times. When my kids are sick we usually throw all routines away. Now that they are healthy my husband and I get to re-train the kids on everything from sleeping in their own beds to the morning routines. I am not sure which is tougher, sick kids or re-training them on everything they already knew how to do. Here is a trick that I have learned through Parenting On Track, first, re-training takes time. I have to go slow. Having an attention span of a bird that is difficult for me. Second, the holidays are the worst time to train children of any age.
Looks like it will be January before our house is back to normal. In the meantime, when my kids loose it I have to remember that it is okay to treat them to a little extra one-on-one time, a little play time or a cookie here or there. I look at the weeks between Thanksgiving and the New Year as my opportunity to stop multitasking and focus as best I can! All this and more is what I have learned from Parenting On Track. We love it and live it!
