Hi there,
I am a mother of three. A 6yr old girl and 10 month old twins (boy and girl)
I am very interesyed in what you have to offer, as myself and my husband seem to always but heads with our 6 yr old, and I would love to learn how to nip this in the butt before she hits her teens! Also, I think we may be able to help each other, as I am with Kidproof Canada, and what we do is run courses for children on how to be safe. I look forward to meeting you and attending the support group and even your classes.

Hello Blair. You sound like you are a very busy mother. I am amazed at how many people I am meeting with twins lately. Do you have a parenting question, concern or issue?
Blair I would love to hear more about Kidproof Canada. Will you be attending this Friday’s Support Group meeting?
Patricia,
I enjoyed speaking with you a couple of weeks ago and you have me intrigued.
Do you still have room for attendees tomorrow night? If so, can you send me your address and start time?

Summary of last night “Paret Support Group” meeting.
Gifted Child not challenged, unmotivated teacher.
* talk to the child to identify all the problems
* speak to other parents to see if they are having similar experiences
* talk to the teacher
* talk to the principal
Children Not Picking Up Stuff
* talk to the children about what the new consequences will be if it
doesn’t happen
– garbage bag the stuff
– assigned their own plates & cutlery
– loose internet and game and activities until done
Dawdling at bedtime
* talk to the child to find out reasons why
* readjust schedule to accomodate all the extra things they want to do
before bed.
* are they over scheduled? are they getting enough down time?
* don’t micro-manage, help the tween develop a schedule that works for both.
Need more time with adults (me time)
* volunteer at the school
* pursue activities that interested in
How to avoid conflict with their child
* take the parenting course
* learn the I-Statements and Receptive Listening
* do crafts and art with the child to build closeness in the relationship
* have fun with their child
Works a dirty job and needs to have a shower when gets home but baby is demanding attention.
* call home with an eta so mom can hide in the room with the baby so
father can come in and have a shower, transistion and then be available
for quality time with the baby.
* accept that babies will cry and take that time no matter what, it’s only
20 minutes and the child will learn some self soothing as well as
the mother is still available.
* develop a schedule with daddy to figure out how both of their needs can
be met.
Crying Baby, needs help when daddy gets home
* discuss and develop a schedule that meets both parents needs
* compromise as both will not get all they need all the time, so must
focus on the most important needs. Periodically review schedule as
baby matures and needs change.
Want to develop a closer relationship with tween and 8 year old
* date nights with each child individually
* family time doing an activity everyone likes
* don’t nit pick
* let the smaller stuff slide
This is just a summary and doesn’t include all ideas!
Michelle you are more than welcome. I thought you were in the UK.
What template are you running on this site ? I really like it. Could you post where you got it from ?
lol a number of the remarks bloggers post really are a bit spacey, once in awhile i really think whether these people realistically scan through the pieces of article and posts before giving a comment or whether they only gloss over the post title and write the first opinion that jumps into their mind. in either case, it is actually useful to browse sensible commentary every once in awhile in contrast to the identical, old opinion which i usually notice through the web.
I agreee. Sometimes as I am reading an article I may agree or disagree with parts of it. So I make sure I read the whole thing.
