I've also learned that the soft talking when breaking things down does get through more often than not. Thanks for sharing that Jeff.

I'm more of the disciplinarian in our house. I do that to set limits and boundaries for the kids so they don't "run all over us". If they don't learn some limits early on I am afraid that when they are teens they will be wild and crazy. I am not that hard on them, but I do make the rules and they do follow them fairly well. There are times where I let down my guard and let them do what they want, create a mess, dump out ALL of their toys on the floor in a huge pile, or even con me into letting them watch a tv show/movie even before bed. I have a balance of being both the good and bad cop but lean more toward the bad cop. Of course when I am wearing my bad cop hat and discipline my soon-to-be 4 year old son he sometimes says and yells, "You are NOT my friend anymore!" Yes that does hurt a bit and then i talk with him and tell him why i am making those rules. He's usually good at listening when we softly talk things out.

However, if the tiny battles we are having at home now are any indication of what the future will bring I think we "should" be okay. Even after ever time out, or every discipline punishment I have had to enforce I always try to end it on a positive note, whether it is a hug or a kiss or just sitting on the couch together reading a book... The road ahead is scary, but I try to remain positive that with every punishment, there is nurturing and positive reinforcement. :) Kims last blog post..<a href="http://www.joggingincircles.com/journal/2008/7/23/wordless-wednesday.html">Wordless Wednesday</a> As a mom to two very young boys I have yet to encounter the really tough parenting talks.

Your mention of doing all these things as "an act of love" is spot on and what makes the biggest difference as we navigate through this. Thanks for adding to this Tom.
