Though I also feel like no matter how much we play they'll always love more. looch on "What do you want to work on, as a parent?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-to-work-on-as-a-parent#post-2677800 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 09:29:03 +0000 looch 2677800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My son has been testing me lately, last night after a particularly heated exchange, he suggested that we draft some essential agreements, which are behavior guidelines. They do this in his school and he took it upon himself to suggest that we do it for home. I am so curious to see what he comes up with.

I had found myself yelling more, which I don't like and i am trying to work on other ways to get my point across and see Her point of view. mamainthesun on "What do you want to work on, as a parent?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-to-work-on-as-a-parent#post-2677709 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 03:45:25 +0000 mamainthesun 2677709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would say patience, but it's mostly at night, when I'm tired and he doesn't want to go to bed that I have a hard time. Especially now that I'm pregnant. I would also say trying to stop using my phone so much when I'm around him. And getting him to listen to me more, he's mostly good but when I do say no or don't throw he doesn't really listen... A lot of work!! 808love on "What do you want to work on, as a parent?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-to-work-on-as-a-parent#post-2677630 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 22:22:45 +0000 808love 2677630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Play more often with LO and say more words when we play dolls. I asked her how I could improve and that is what she asked for.

But, I have a stubborn runner and he can make such dangerous choices. I keep hoping it's a phase that will pass.

DH and I work until 4pm, so we agreed no screens between 4-7 on weekdays and no TV while LO is awake (weekdays and weekends). wrkbrk on "What do you want to work on, as a parent?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-to-work-on-as-a-parent#post-2677613 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 22:04:12 +0000 wrkbrk 2677613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Lion: yep. same. wrkbrk on "What do you want to work on, as a parent?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-to-work-on-as-a-parent#post-2677611 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 22:03:33 +0000 wrkbrk 2677611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Bao: being in the moment.

Last night DD1 said that she wasn't going to eat her dinner and then she started screaming when she dropped her fork and even though we had a perfectly normal, not too hard day, I lost it with her. She's 3 and I find that my expectations of her are a little beyond what she's capable of. She just seems so grown up and I kind of lose it when she can't hold it together when all reasoning says she should be able to.

I have a really hard time shutting everything else out and really being present in the moment. irene on "What do you want to work on, as a parent?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-to-work-on-as-a-parent#post-2677533 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 20:48:06 +0000 irene 2677533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Stop screaming and patience.

It can be anything, big or small! I've been working on my patience with the girls for several months now. As they are getting older though it's getting better to communicate with them so they understand more of what is ok/not ok, consequences, etc. But of course there are still days where my patience run low, so I want to figure out how to handle situations that put me in a stressful spot so that I can cope with them better.
