Thought I would take a bit of a departure from the usual oily talk today and tell you about an awesome resource that I found recently via one of my favorite bloggers, Mommypotamus.
The tagline was "How to Get Your Kids to Listen Without Nagging, Reminding or Yelling" and as a mom of an almost 4 year old I was definitely interested. Amy McCready of Positive Parenting Solutions promises to teach you how to do just that. I went to the webinar (she offers free webinars from time to time) and I learned a lot. Without giving too much of her own material away- I walked away knowing:
- why my son acts the way he does sometimes (and it's not just because he's trying to make me crazy)
- how to properly punish him when necessary (without using corporal punishment)
- and most importantly, how to train him to be a responsible child, then teen and later adult.
Positive Parenting Solutions does charge for a membership (which at the moment I currently don't have) but what I love is the plethora of free resources such as the webinars, blog and they are currently offering a free quick start guide which includes a parenting profile to help you identify what type of parent you are and how you may be affecting your children and their development.
The membership offers options of training videos, calls and other forms of supports to help you on your parenting path and the silver and gold levels offer you lifetime access.
Their blog is really helpful to follow- some of their recent free offerings include articles about apologizing and 10 steps to better behavior. And if you get the opportunity to attend one of their seminars, I highly recommend it.
