Such a fabulous list of reminders and scripture. Your point on Love hits home in a big way. It never crossed my mind that I was focussing on my needs vs loving my children! I'm posting this list so that I can read/pray through it and stay on point with my kids. Thank You! Found this one posted to Pinterest! Such a fabulous list of reminders and scripture.

He thinks he can charm, argue, and manipulate you out of your pants. We have never allowed it. But he still tries...and he still throws tantrums when we don't give in (which is every time). Other than us being consistent to never give in, never explain, and making time to listen to him when its appropriate...what do we do. He's almost 5. Am I expecting too much to think he shouldn't still be doing this? I mean if I say "Nope. That's not on my list. Please put it away." I get "Wellll, how about...." "What if???" "I never..." "you never..." and eventually he is overcome with emotion and throws a baby fit! PLEASE finish this when you get the time <3 We have an arguer.

I have two little ones (Reagan is 21 mo and Winston is 6 mo). I've read every parenting book under the sun to prepare myself for the burst of learning that's about to happen with Reagan. She's a great little girl and listens well, but the terrible twos are still ahead of us. I'm grateful to have found your training tips, but more importantly, I'm happy to see you paired them with scripture. I'm a Catholic that's never had an interest in religion simply because the things at church never seemed to apply to my life and I always felt like they were asking for money (and all those scandals doesn't help either - I recently found out the 81 year old president of our Catholic high school who has been in his administrative position for 20 years and is a brother as well as priest, was just caught viewing pornography on his personal computer at the high school.) Your scripture has shown me that it can apply to my life in very real way. I hope to be able to find a church in the Houston area that can do this for me as I'd like my children to grow up with a solid moral background. I'd like them to find peace in Church unlike I did as a child. Maybe a scripture group will be on the horizons too. Thanks again for your post!

As a mother of three teenage girls, someone who has had a home based daycare for over 15 years (usually 11 in our house most days) and a professional organizer, your list is so bang on. Kids can do amazing things when we allow them to do so! Love the article about your family on the Organizing Made Fun blog. Many God continue to bless you and your family. I so love your list.

Any advice for those moments when you need immediate action but have no idea what consequence fits the crime. my patience level right now if almost empty. i so need this list as I have felt like a complete failure lately. my husband is deployed right now and this parenting alone is hard work. sometimes i just stare at my children in the heat of the moment, at my wits end because I have know idea how to handle it.

Many of these reflect my thoughts and desires, but #10 stuck with me. It's driven me insane that my youngest of three (he's 2 years old) won't sit on my lap for any given period of time unless we're watching a movie or playing a game. This was a great reminder that I need to give him opportunities to practice at home! I let him freely wander around during night time stories, but realize now that I need to start training him to sit still. My older two did...just because the kids are too many to pile onto my lap, that doesn't mean he should be any less guided! Thanks again. Amazing list and wonderful advice!
