Comment on How to Deal with Preschool Temper Tantrums by Mindful Parents

Mindful Parents — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 06:30:36 +0000

Great article. I find it helpful to read (and re-read) ways to cope with toddler tantrums. Even if you know what you are supposed to do - reading sort of 'refreshes' your memory and makes it easier to handle the stress of the tantrum while it is happening. Thanks.

This is awesome and while my kids keep falling off the car when I try this method it has worked because now I only have to mention the car and they straighten up. Thanks for sharing. PS for those that are really crazy enough to believe me that was a joke. The corner of my living room has nose prints my windshield does not.

Comment on Naturally Treating Dental Caries with Good Nutrition by annonymous

I’m afraid to take my child to the dentist because I don’t want to lose my child to social services, even for a day. I know dentists have to report to them and I’m afraid since my child has caries on several teeth that the dentist will call cps. Not only do I not want to lose my child, but I am more afraid of the lifetime emotional scars my child would have going through such a horrible and unspeakable time, all because I wanted to get dental care so my child wouldn’t have pain anymore. I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO! My stomach gets tied up in knots just thinking about making an appointment. I cannot imagine watching the police and cps taking my child away and worse knowing the horror my child would be going through.

Comment on Attachment Parenting and Discipline by christian parenting

Great article. Parents can learn a lot from this. Parents like us should give our children a chance to decide for their own. All we need to do is redirect and lead them to make the right choices. And if failure comes we should always be by their side giving them support or advice.

Comment on What is Attachment Parenting? by admin

Jessica I have a feeling you are talking about consequences the parents impose on kids and those are not natural consequences. They are punishments. Punishments don’t teach.

Children will only learn to think about their decisions and start making good ones if they have the freedom to make their own choices. Making good choices is a learned skill and kids need to practice it. They learn about consequences on their own without parents “punishing”. A for instance would be my 8 year old son choosing to stay up well past midnight last night. The consequence of staying up late was that he slept in until 10AM and missed a skateboarding class he had. In the future I doubt I will have to place a bedtime boundary the night before his classes, because he learned on his own that he needs to go to bed early on those nights and he learned that because he was free to make his own choice in the matter. I probably could have lectured on the subject until I was blue in the face but experiencing the consequences first hand was the best teacher. And to reinforce this lesson I will be all too happy to “help” wake him up if he manages to go to bed at a reasonable hour so he can succeed.

Kyle I think your friend is “un-parenting” or being a permissive parent and using attachment theory as an excuse.
