Our two year old became defiant and rebellious a few months ago and I am on my knees daily for HER. I know how miserable it feels to be in rebellion against loving authority. I am going to talk with my husband and try this. Thanks again for sharing your journey.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922332396291423005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566264822792117348.post-28180263699606572862012-02-17T11:48:19.402-05:002012-02-17T11:48:19.402-05:00That is wonderful!

Having posted rules and taking time to walk to them and talk about how they were broken, warning, and then repeat for punishment, was so helpful. It gave me time to simmer down as we walked to where they were posted. And helped her see WHY what she did was wrong. <br /><br />Another thing where time was helpful was time out. I used to do the standard one min/age timeout. No success. However having her sit in time out until she was ready to apologize (specifically) made a huge difference to the recurrence factor.<br />What you've shared is a wonderful way to apply that same principle to to spankings. We all need time to let go of anger and be able to listen to counsel.Marta Jeremy Emily and Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981864583027696102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566264822792117348.post-86387225126580526562012-02-16T05:23:11.280-05:002012-02-16T05:23:11.280-05:00Can you please give us an update on how this is wo...Can you please give us an update on how this is working for your daughter?

Spanking may not be doing anything more than providing deep pressure stimulation to organize her brain pattern. There are ways to achieve this in a respectful manner. Occupational Therapist can help a lot. I have 3 kids, the older 2 never needed any type of hitting to be obedient children. The third was different. I found one day after getting hurt bumping her head on a door jam she was amazingly calm, talkative and cooperative at age 2. We enrolled her in OT and used a brushing technique and it works wonders. Provides sensory input for her brain without all the stress hormones. My parents never had to hit me and I am a respectful, law abiding, Christian woman and mother. My husband suffered terrible amounts of spankings and beatings and ended up trusting friends in highschool leading to a huge blunder and jail and he suffers from PTSD. Do really think we are formed in God's image to need to be struck? God does not give us free will and then break our spirits. He begs us to follow his lead by giving us grace. All I am saying is to consider looking at it from another angle. I fully expect you will not post such a response but pray that you will consider it.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060577903010656344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566264822792117348.post-10092249165987122762011-12-28T09:00:39.629-05:002011-12-28T09:00:39.629-05:00This is such wonderful news, when these issues las...This is such wonderful news, when these issues last for months on end there is much damage in the parent child relationship that needs healing! I can totally understand, as my nearly 5 year old has very similar issues. This is a great way to deal with rebellion, thanks so much for sharing! <br /><br />Right now our battle is self control over emotions - each emotion is expressed in the highest form she can muster (along with kicking, flailing, shrieking, etc...). I have wanted to implement a time out in the room system for a few months, but due to holidays etc... my husband and I have yet to talk through it. The above plan sounds like an even better twist to the one I had in mind. I'm anxious to try this!<br /><br />One other thing that helped my daughter a lot was posting the rules - and what their specific punishments were - on the fridge. I used pictures so she could understand them. I gave one warning, and that was after I guided her by hand to the fridge and asked her to identify what she'd done wrong. Then gave the warning, and if she did it again, we walked back to the fridge again. It helped give me time to cool off and stay calm, and her a chance to see that I was not just arbitrarily getting upset at her behavior.Marta Jeremy Emily and Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981864583027696102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566264822792117348.post-90528803978813253922011-12-21T21:40:07.170-05:002011-12-21T21:40:07.170-05:00that is just the most creative neat thing I have e...that is just the most creative neat thing I have ever seen done with hot dogs, haha, totally gonna try this with my toddler!! thanks for the idea!! <br />Blessings,<br />Petra.K.W.A.E.Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17485141811624321958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566264822792117348.post-34338493730276485252011-12-21T21:38:07.027-05:002011-12-21T21:38:07.027-05:00Just found your blog, love it!

I've created all sorts of spots where things belong, but in 18 years haven't managed to get hubby to put stuff in said designated spots. Sigh. Anyway, thanks for stopping by my blog & commenting the other week. I reference my mom binder as needed - sometimes daily for answer keys or lesson plans, but the rest is just for occasional reference. I keep attendance on the computer (homeschooltracker.com - the free version), but at the end of each year I print it & save it as required by our state law.Bethany LaShellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11790803944431508495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566264822792117348.post-18528374346494128802011-04-20T09:05:11.709-04:002011-04-20T09:05:11.709-04:00Love this idea!
