Most of us have days when parenting "works”; when we show up as the loving parent that we want to be while still setting appropriate limits. There are other days though, when we can hear our own parent's (not always so nice) voices coming out of our own mouths. Simple, respectful parenting tools can help us parent more from the "heart" and less from the "hip". We can discipline (teach) our children with kindness and firmness without being either permissive or punitive. (For more information go to www.encouragingsolutions.net)
