Alrighty then, I must have been a natural since I never read any books and still did what you wrote about, and like you, I always put myself in other people shoes.. so also in my kids shoes! they turned out very well, are independant, believe in themselves, show respect, don’t litter 😉 and are trustworthy, that was always a big thing in our house, you keep an eye out but give them your trust in doing things themselves, even when they are tiny tots.

Thank you for this recommendation! I needed to read this. I have an almost 2 year old daughter. I am a struggling with how I am communicating with her when I am frustrated. I hear words and tones coming from my mouth that I immediatly regret. I know I need to make a change to be the kind of parent I want to be. Just by looking at your website, I can tell you are an amazing mother to your kids. Thank you from one mom to another. The struggle is real! I appreciate everything about your website. Thank you!

Thank you for recommending that amazing book. 🙂 However, since my son is 13 I chose to read “How to talk so teens will listen..” cause that sure is hard sometimes! His dad and I are divorced, and I find myself missing him more and more, when he is with his dad every other week, therefore it is so important for me to make sure I’m there and ready if and when he wants to talk with me. 🙂

I don’t have kids yet but this sounds like a great book to read for when I do. And I’ll be recommending it to my friends too. Thanks!

PS: I also absolutely adored Buddhism for mothers (by Sarah Napthali). It’s not really a book about Buddhism, but it helped me a lot on how to deal with my own feelings – the worry, the separation anxiety (yes, mine), the occassional anger. Another jewel, in this case for my own self-management and not my daughter’s 🙂

My number one bible at the moment is Taking back childhood, by Nancy Carlsson-Page. I started reading it out of curiosity (the author is Matt Damon’s mum) but I love every page. It was also written a while back, but it’s still surprisingly relevant, and I find it really very helpful (for example for dealing with how to avoid consumerism in children). It’s really fantastic.

I really enjoyed hearing how it’s not just one mom struggling with this matter! I have four kids and one of those four kids is a red head! Which means strong willed very hot headed and it’s great to not take away his choices and still let him have a voice! If he fights with his brother, I give him a choice, you can apologize and mean it or you can go to your room without iPad time for the rest of the day! Whichever choice he chooses he has to stick with it! More than likely he always chooses the right choice and I get to say wow that’s a great choice and I can see how mature u are for picking the right choice! It’s been a big struggle with him because sowmtines as moms we don’t always keep it cool and try to give them a choice, we just want to take away! I love reading your blog and I can’t wait for the next one! Thanks so much for sharing your struggles with us! 😉
