RE: Peaceful Parenting Win! (An Edifying Experience in a Restaurant with my 4-year-old.)
Thank you for commenting. I often think life gives us exactly what we need in order to help us grow, and that this includes our children and their unique, and sometimes challenging (in a positive way), personalities.
Go team Isaiah! :)
Yes. Our 12-yr-old son, Isaiah, is so strong-willed that it can be difficult for us. He is the type that loves to learn but hates to be taught. He is "gifted" I believe which means more than intelligence but also strong emotions he deals with. We have all learned and grown. I'm pretty sure that if we used lots of punishment with him that it would have really back-fired and turned him into an angry person. Sometime it takes faith to parent peacefully and differently than the majority, but I can see how it is turning out to be the best thing.
p.s. Use 4 #tags only as there is still a glitch when using 5 #tags (where only the first one shows)
Beautifully put about your son. That is so inspiring and encouraging to me. Thank you.
I also had no idea about the tags. That stinks!!! I think I fixed it now.
