I do have nieces and nephews that also know 'hate' as a bad word (unfortunately, I slipped up in Walmart the other day and my nephew corrected me...but come on...it's Walmarttttt;). <br />Setting a good example...being consistent...following through. Huge things and things we continue to work on.<br />All I want for our little ones is for them to be kind (and funny and smart and compassionate and reasonable and loving...:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489364946859181168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121372555541145529.post-55570940976019691012012-07-18T11:36:52.255-04:002012-07-18T11:36:52.255-04:00I feel the same way and strive for it!

Easy to fall into the negative on days like today when my gal is pushing ALL the buttons!!<br />I also like the notion of looking for the virtue instead of the vice = a stubborn willed child (vice?)... encourage that trait to mean they aren't pushovers in life, know what to stand for (virtue)...<br />blah blah blah - you got me started now Liz!!<br />xoxo you're a lovely mama<br />mel<br />needle and nestMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03385618355496025204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121372555541145529.post-25947154082639526312012-07-17T10:20:44.884-04:002012-07-17T10:20:44.884-04:00Such a beautiful photo! xSuch a beautiful photo! xEatlovemerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03560375557097412508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121372555541145529.post-41053854450256213752012-07-17T09:57:39.274-04:002012-07-17T09:57:39.274-04:00I would love to hear more on positive parenting. I...I would love to hear more on positive parenting. I always try to stop and listen to Judah (although he doesn't make real words just just yet) and try to affirm his needs and not put him down.Mycharmingcolorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02546056836938625454noreply@blogger.com
