SHARE THIS POST:

Deep breath into your lungs.  Your eyes close while your fingers grasp the bridge of your nose. Then, your chin lowers to your chest, which subsequently lets out a loud sigh. Have you been there? That moment when it takes everything you have not to explode at your children? That’s me. Every. Single. Day. Being a positive parent is not my second nature. I don’t even think it is my third.

Being a Positive Parent is Not Easy

I work hard on being a positive parent and confident disciplinarian both at home and in the classroom. I have mentioned that I have to work very hard at being positive.  I often read blogs to keep up to date and gather new techniques. Probably more so, however, I re-read the same resources again and again. In fact, I even print some of the tips out and reference the advice on a daily basis. I need it. I don’t think I am alone, so I have to share these resources and tips with you.
