Happier!

Life has become much smoother! (knock on wood)

Thanks for all your ideas and comments- I found them all very helpful!

Some asked for my responses as I do research too, and so far, the most helpful has been, "The Happiest Toddler on the Block," by Dr. Harvey Karp He is the same guy who has the 5 S's , that someone told me about a few years back, for calming fussy babies- I also found these ideas to be magical with infants!

-Thank you Dr. Karp!

I would recommend it to all (after having read half of it)!

I'll have to look it up. We could use some happiness in toddlerland here.

Good to know--I think I'll need to be reading that soon! It is so hard to know how to discipline! Your family is so cute--I loved looking at the recent pics!

I just read Parenting with Love and Logic. Then I found out they have one geared for Early Childhood so I need to read that, the examples would be more applicable. Anyway, I think it's GREAT. It's hard for me to do, counter-intuitive at times. But it TOTALLY works when we take the time to apply it. Wiser moms suggested it to me. I love my 2 year old so much more now that we aren't fighting all the time.

Good luck. I've been glad for good books/articles to help my parenting. I've been more glad for timely answers from the Spirit. :) Haven throws me for a loop almost every day...here's hoping we each figure it out when we need it the most! :) I'm sure--SURE--you're a fantastic mama.
