I first saw this article yesterday via a friend’s FB feed. Like a rude awakening, the article hits me like a brick…I spent the night ruminating over these thoughts in my head. The hubs and I have been questioning the effectiveness of our parenting methods on our fiercely independent, soon to be 5 year-old pre-schooler, with a stubborn and slightly self-centered streak (the perils of being an only child) and who sometimes lies to avoid punishments. For a quick tempered person like me, I find it extremely hard to discipline without anger. I find myself feeling exasperated when my discipline do not seem to produce the desired change in behaviour…then came these revelations.<\/p>\n
I don’t know if any parents are in the same shoes. We worry that if we do not guide and train her well now in her formative years, we may lose her forever. There are pitfalls where I see myself potentially heading (or midway there) but I know it’s not too late to turn-around. It’s my desire to be a better Mom and I know many of you do too. This article may be a tad wordy but it’s an insightful read. I produce an excerpt here to share with you.<\/p>\n
