I rarely listen now; her blog is on my RSS feed and I follow her page on FB </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-preschool-demon-child#post-2816664 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 17:18:06 +0000 Mama Bird 2816664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read "Raising your spirited child" and found most of the book too vague to be useful, but there was one thing that was a light bulb moment. Something about how some kids don't have tantrums to get their way - they have spillover tantrums from being tired/overwhelmed/upset about something unrelated. If nothing else, this idea helped me stop wondering how my kid can amaze me with his maturity one minute, and the next minute melt down over a candy wrapper and cry so much you'd think I took all candy away forever. It's not about the candy, he's not insane, and he probably just needs a hug, dinner, or an earlier bedtime :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-preschool-demon-child#post-2816659 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 16:46:03 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2816659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Of course I can't think of anything tangible to use as an example, now that I have had time away from the situation hat triggered this post (ha ha), I can see certain contributing factors to the major melt down, and will definitely try not to push them aside like I did at the time! I should probably try to listen to Lansbury's podcast, but I don't really ever listen to podcasts so I need to find a good time to do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-preschool-demon-child#post-2816523 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:13:31 +0000 caitcat 2816523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’ve found “How to talk...” helpful and also “Raising Your Spirited Child” - I found myself nodding along like somehow the author had met my kid (and totally understood my exhaustion!) as I read that one. The practical tips were helpful for us, and I felt like I came away with a better perspective in general on some of my three year old’s strong willed tendencies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-preschool-demon-child#post-2816519 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:06:50 +0000 snowjewelz 2816519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbubbletea: Do you have a specific situation or concern? I love Janet Lansbury too; maybe my memory can jog up some of stuff I've read/listened to that would be helpful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-preschool-demon-child#post-2816443 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 19:09:00 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2816443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: @JoyfulKiwi: @oskarsmommy: thanks guys! For the recs and commiseration :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-preschool-demon-child#post-2816297 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 23:49:02 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2816297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like “How to talk...” and “No drama discipline”. They both give solid techniques to use, even if it’s a process for me to access them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-preschool-demon-child#post-2816292 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 20:50:45 +0000 oskarsmommy 2816292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in your shoes. We did the aha parenting online seminar and it was very helpful! Good luck - 3 is a bitch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-preschool-demon-child#post-2816289 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 20:36:54 +0000 bhbee 2816289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dealing-with-lack-of-impulse-control-until-it-develops" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dealing-with-lack-of-impulse-control-until-it-develops</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-preschool-demon-child#post-2816288 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 20:35:35 +0000 bhbee 2816288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 3yo boy who can drive me up the wall so I sympathize!! I have the talk so little kids will listen book and I like it a lot in terms of good ideas - but it didn’t solve all my issues. It is not what I would call a discipline book - more an approach book. I made a similar post a while back I will try to link to it had other ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-preschool-demon-child#post-2816287 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 20:29:04 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2816287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Books I was thinking of checking out:’how to talk so young children will listen or whatever that one is called, peaceful parent happy child, something called 123 magic or whatever that one is? Basically sell me on your favorite discipline book and why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-preschool-demon-child#post-2816286 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 20:27:25 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2816286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just kidding... but for real. I need a reboot on parenting/techniques for my 3 yo (turned 3 in December to be more specific). He’s challenging, high energy, wild, and I feel like I need some help. I want to read a book with some solid simple advice. I have read some Janet Lansbury and it resonates with me and yet it’s not concrete enough to help me in the moment. I need gentle parenting for dummies techniques. </p>
