The best way to bring them up is to let them grow with you. <a href="http://www.teenbootcamps.org/boot-camps/boot-camps-for-troubled-teens-take-action-to-help-discipline-your-child.html" rel="nofollow">Discipline them</a> well and they will just grow fine.dianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679460944820762261.post-83151525679831234122011-10-16T16:57:10.938-05:002011-10-16T16:57:10.938-05:00I'm not a parent so all I can say is that I fo...I'm not a parent so all I can say is that I found this super interesting! And nervewracking, haha! Rob and I have talked a LOT about how we will discipline children and I generally agree with what you've outlined above. I think my struggle will be not giving in to every temper tantrum and not feeling bad all the time. In my (limited, secondhand) experience kids really know when you aren't operating as a team and when one of you is on the fence, so it seems like that is important. But again, I don't really know anything!<br /><br />It's funny to watch my niece start to grow into the "testing boundaries" stage. The first time I saw her willfully disobey my sister I laughed out loud, it was so crazy to see! My sister told her not to go on the stairs, and she looked at my sister and inched closer to them, haha! Funny for me as auntie I guess, not so much for mommy :)<br /><br />Good luck lady, sounds like you're doing an amazing job!Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12624818442174838361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679460944820762261.post-55882398696604972612011-10-12T19:56:21.020-05:002011-10-12T19:56:21.020-05:00Discipline is such a hard subject.

We've tried time outs but he doesn't really understand them yet. I am a firm believer in time outs and will continue to try them with him.Kim Airharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13220029715853160486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679460944820762261.post-35687407949132064252011-10-12T12:12:54.701-05:002011-10-12T12:12:54.701-05:00Your mom's quote is GENIUS!!

They know they are safe and secure when there are limits. And it's funny how Jesus does the same for us... disciplines us BECAUSE He loves us. What a great example to follow. :)The Poole Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997562896102391664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679460944820762261.post-27824008354178794972011-10-12T08:03:01.310-05:002011-10-12T08:03:01.310-05:00Right on!!

I see how miserable and wild the kids are who never WERE shown that reality includes limits, and I know I would never want that for my babies!Lucy The Valianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017727113612906573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679460944820762261.post-48702945608937148212011-10-11T21:11:21.187-05:002011-10-11T21:11:21.187-05:00I LOVE this post!

I know that no matter how much it may hurt, it is very necessary and I have to remember that my parents disciplined me, and I turned out okay (I think). I am grateful for the boundaries, rules and discipline that was enforced by my parents. You sound like an awsome mom. There are so many people who discipline out of anger. I have been guilty of it, but I'm getting better. Like you said, being a mom is not easy, but so rewarding!Neshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15095791066926963284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679460944820762261.post-10018569825243929662011-10-11T15:40:47.195-05:002011-10-11T15:40:47.195-05:00Look at that adorable smiles..

(knock on wood.)<br /><br />sometimes i feel guilty though, because i don't think gage fully understands why he can't do certain things, but owsley can and he won't get into trouble. it IS hard when your two babies are far apart in age and discipline for each of them is totally different.deanna@delirious-rhapsodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11510367852834677697noreply@blogger.com
