I want to speak calmly with my children. I want to practice patients. I am quite desperate to find a new way to communicate with them. The requesting, demanding and finally yelling they do things 500 times in order to see it done is not effective. I don't like myself at the end of the day. I feel spent from constant frustration.
So......I have signed up for an 8 week parenting class.
I feel calmer already but that's probably because the kids are sleeping :)
To begin with here is a quote I am putting on my fridge.
Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny...
and they become your family's destiny, too.

ooh, a parenting class, that sounds great! I hope you get some helpful suggestions.
The class is pretty great and they give you a few days between lessons to work on the things you've learned before you move on to the next.
