One thing I recently learned was to focus on the GOOD behavior and reward those, instead of always the bad, which I knew, but needed to be reminded of. I need to sit down and think of rewards that may be little, but that will be something that will encourage my kids to be obedient and listen the first or 2nd time I ask them to do something. I think I have too high of expectations for them at times, but don't want to just let them get by with whatever they want at the same time, know what I mean?

My dad has said even babies feel the spirit, and I believe it, but it's a bit weird to bear your testimony when your kid is bouncing around oblivious to you. <br /><br />Maybe I'm always underestimating my kids and what they can understand. That's something I need to work on.nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019388791509297822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830299480910238943.post-59455967395706161922010-11-08T14:29:47.328-08:002010-11-08T14:29:47.328-08:00wonderful thoughts.

This is a great reminder that keeping my larger goals in mind will help me be more consistent, and I hope more loving.kristine Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08202917905756050811noreply@blogger.com
