Last week we lost our sweet foster dog suddenly. Jacob and Lykos were best buddies. This past week had had a lot of emotional rollercoasters for all of us. I’ve had to remind myself that he is struggling not behaving badly. I’ve not been perfect because I’m grieving too but I have been able to say mommy is so sorry I’m hurting too and I got mad at you. I am very sorry. I love you. And I know you’re sad too. It’s ok.

YES. Thank you again🌹, Mona Delahooke, Ph.D.

For me I’d say Europe! All the history and beautiful architecture. Although somewhere like Galapagos or Australia would be amazing too.

This was addressed in one of the love parenting course. It’s sooooo hard to remember when your an exhausted parent and they are past your last nerve.

Anyone have any tips or real life examples for all of us parents here on how to avoid loosing your cool in this situation? I try to remember to take deep breaths and then handle the situation. After the zumbini love parenting course I tried to remind myself that they are more overwhelmed than me! And I need to respond to them how I would want to be treated but it’s still not easy and I still fail. But that’s ok! We’re not perfect and this can even be used as a learning opportunity for your kiddos when you say I’m so sorry mommy is tired and overwhelmed too! And when that happens we can say or do things we don’t mean to. It’s ok if that happens to you too! I still love you sooooo much!

Getting loud doesn't make children hear their parents any better.

Hi friends! Zumbini has been expanding their love parenting courses! They are offering another 30 minute free session this Thursday at 11:15 am. I highly recommend these courses as there has been so much good information shared to help us become more mindful parents. This week is called “re-thinking punishment in the way we parent”.

Here is the description
Have you ever questioned the way you were disciplined? Or the way you discipline your children? Do you believe that punishment is necessary for discipline? Is it the best way for children to learn lessons and self-control? Many of us, ourselves, were raised with punishment as a parenting approach. Today, with all of the research we have, the question of punishment seems like a tricky subject in parenting, and one that comes up often.

In this webinar, we'll discuss important questions related to discipline and punishment and explore how you can re-think your approach to this challenging parenting topic!

Now this is something I am going to try with my son soon! He loves to match things so I think this will be a fun activity for him!

⭐️ THE POWER OF HANDS-ON LITERACY WORK ⭐️

When we task our kids' with learning the alphabet 🔠, we so often do it with worksheets, drills, and handwriting pages ✏️. We get frustrated, they get frustrated and yet we push forward, hearing all the "shoulds" and milestone timelines repeating in our heads. But what if we made literacy work FUN again 🤩? What if we gave our kids the gift of using their whole body (brains included!) to practice their alphabet skills?!

WE LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH: https://busytoddler.com/2018/04/post-it-match/

Confession time. This hits home hard today. We had a rough night. Again. Last night. Not only was my son up multiple times but so were the dogs. Hubby is out of town for work and I admit I lost it with all three of them this morning!! And guess what ??!! It only made it worse! Anyone else want to share a confession of mommy was way too tired and made things worse ??

It’s easy to get wrapped up in the daily struggles of parenting and forget to stop and tell your child how much you love them. Here's the secret to remembering + the most powerful ways to say it.
