@Candi, I understand what you're going through- I'm definitely gonna try this one.

I’m going to give this a try tomorrow. My daughter goes through a few whining spells every day and it gets so annoying!

I think that’s great and I can agree Might have to apply this myself because I know my son NEVER listens to me unless I threaten to throw away his monster trucks.

Last night at church one of our pastor’s had a child who was acting up. I was just amazed at how he and his wife calmly, quietly and gently talked to their child! Their tone was soothing and loving without a hint of anger in it! I, too, hope that I will always be able to remain calm to keep a peaceful home operating!!

@Ashley, Ashley, sounds like we are at similar stages in parenting: I have a highly motivated, “control freak” 3-year-old girl and a fun-loving, into-everything 19-month-old boy. Interesting family dynamics for sure! I am constantly asking God for patience (and consistency) in correcting them in love.

That’s a good reminder for me too. I often forget how much better a quiet voice works.

Wonderful reminder – especially today. I’ve had the worst headache for over a week now and my kiddos are driving me up a wall. I never thought I’d be a “yeller” and somehow it happened. I try to apologize and let them know it was not okay for me to speak like that to them. Letting them know that grown-ups make mistakes and we aren’t perfect – somehow I feel like that might help the situation later on. I’ll try the whispering thing. Can’t hurt trying everything until you find something that works. Thanks!
