Getting Better

Things are definately getting better. I have been on a big-time decluttering kick in my house, and have noticed that the more I get rid of, the lighter my spirit gets. Also, I have been busy reading several parenting books (or audio books). They have been teaching me how to interect with my 6 y.o. better.    He is good at getting a reaction from me, and I am learning how to avoid power stuggles with him......MOST of the time. In case you're interested, the books are "How To Talk So Your Kids Will Listen..." and "Raising a Spirited Child".  I don't feel like I am spending all day saying "STOP"   'SIT DOWN'   'LISTEN'  And we have been getting a lot more work done......it's still a work in progress.....

Raising Your Spirited Child is my favorite parenting book! Helped immensely with my 5-yr-old. I love your honesty in your blog entries- I think I'm in my second adolecense too (referring to the Blue Thong thing). And I'm so glad you are hearing from the Lord regarding homeschool. You can't do it without Him. Enjoy it!
