I’m excited to share a guest post I wrote for Family Made Simple that talked about labeling the action, not your child. I had the good fortune of meeting Tessa via Facebook and immediately accepted her offer to write a guest post for her blog.
Here are the first few lines I wrote for Family Made Simple:
Last week, my two-year-old was being testy. And demanding. And all the fun things that go along with toddlerhood. At one particular moment, he had shoved my brother’s arm aside in clear irritation. Okay, so maybe he had a right to be irritated (this is my brother we’re talking about here), but my husband and I didn’t want to encourage rude behavior. But as much as I want to call him out on his rudeness, I try to label his action, not him.
Do you find yourself labeling your kids instead of the action?

Just wanted to take the opportunity to let you know how great the new layout looks. Nice job, I really like it. Looks like the transfer was a success.

Thank you! I’m pretty happy with it too and am glad that I stuck through the crazy technical transfer :/
