Her second book, no bad kids, is just a series of letters and her responses. You could read the book and then select a few to share with your husband. Her website has a ton of stuff too, and she posts on Facebook regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-parenting-class#post-2274311 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 07:44:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2274311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This had some great suggestions for cutting back on yelling:</p> <p><a href="http://theorangerhino.com" rel="nofollow">http://theorangerhino.com</a> </p> <p>Age 3 was tough for us. Distractions no longer worked (which was our go to) and a lot of bad habits that weren't an issue when she was little became a big issue. We really found that a "zero tolerance" policy started to work best. We would explain what would happen and then enforce immediately. "If you dont pick up that toy, I will take it away". Count to 3 and then take the toy and put it up away on the top of the fridge. "If you dont stay in your bed at bedtime, we will loose TV time the next night" We only had to enforce that one once or twice. But those real consequences needed to happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-parenting-class#post-2274308 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 07:37:48 +0000 jape14 2274308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Triple-P parenting program is a really well-regarded (at least in my field of academic/research psychology), empirically sound positive parenting program, and it looks like they have an online version to their seminars available here: <a href="http://www.triplep-parenting.net/nc-en/get-help/which-triple-p-is-right-for-me/triple-p-online-your-personal-parenting-program-247/" rel="nofollow">http://www.triplep-parenting.net/nc-en/get-help/which-triple-p-is-right-for-me/triple-p-online-your-personal-parenting-program-247/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-parenting-class#post-2274297 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 07:25:53 +0000 Mamaof2 2274297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hummusgirl: I haven't taken the class but I LOVE the articles they post - </p> <p><a href="http://www.ahaparenting.com/peaceful-parenting-course" rel="nofollow">http://www.ahaparenting.com/peaceful-parenting-course</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-parenting-class#post-2274168 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 21:25:17 +0000 hummusgirl 2274168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're struggling with discipline and how to handle our almost-3-year-old. He's a really sweet kid and it's just normal toddler boundary-pushing, but we find ourselves (my husband in particular) getting frustrated and yelling more than we'd like. It's especially bad in the mornings when we're trying to get out of the house - things like running away when we try to put on his clothes, resisting getting in his car seat, trying to stand inside his little potty, and just generally making us late, which makes tensions escalate. I also think he sees the whole thing as a hilarious game which just frustrates us more. </p> <p>I really don't want a "yelly" household and I fear we're headed down that terrible and ineffective path. We don't spank and don't often use time outs, though we do sometimes. We often take away whatever he's playing with or try to remove him from the situation but we're still having a hard time. </p> <p>My husband will not read parenting books (except maybe a page here or there if I point it out) but I think we could both benefit from a class. It's just really hard to find one that works with our schedules, childcare, etc. Do you know of any online course with videos that's helpful and not too cheesy? I think that would be ideal and hopefully more helpful than the random one-off articles I've read but have a hard time remembering the lessons in the moment. </p>
