random rants and raves

I’m always on the lookout for ways to improve my/our parenting— I always try to involve my husband in the improvement, as well So, when I recently read this article, taken from the book, How to Raise Your Children Without Raising Your Voice, I was really impressed.

So many parenting books give you some nice, warm fuzzy ideas, but very little practical advice. I particularly liked the information on the 80/20 principle (basically, you should have 4 positive interactions with your children for every 1 negative interaction) and the 2X rule, which says that you should never repeat yourself more than twice. I’ve liked the advice so much that I plan to buy the book. And I’m passing the link along to you
