This mom is busy, busy and was struggling until she started getting some new skills. Read on to hear how keeping calm and setting expectations really helped keep moms energy from being drained.
==========================
I've been using this on my 2 year old son who runs everywhere!! We were at the park (he and I) had to use the restroom and usually have to chase him down to get him to follow me. He said he wanted to see the train but I said I needed to use the restroom. I said "aaaaah lets go to the bathroom first and see the train after." I turned and started walking to the bathroom and instead of running to get him he said "oh-Tay" and followed me to the bathroom! It was awesome!! It's the small things. Didn't react and get mad or chase him like he wants me to.
Also I've been asking my 4 year old who likes to talk baby talk to talk to me in a voice mommy likes to hear and she immediately changes her tone and voice. Crazy!!
