What to do when...

What do I do when my middle child uses tantrums and whining to get my attention? What do I do when my child's first word is "NO"? What I do when my oldest takes to yelling?

I spin around in circles like that cartoon Tasmanian devil. Do you remember that cartoon? Does that get me anywhere? "NO". Why do I keep doing it?

All those actions I described above are learned behaviors. I ask myself what skills do my children need in order to learn "USEFUL" behaviors? Then I make a list.

Then I ask myself, what is it going to take for me to give up my "USELESS" behaviors? Then I make a list.

If you already own Parenting On Track then you will go now to chapter 6 on the curcial C's. If you don't already own Parenting On Track then get it!!!

I will let you know how it goes!
