 Comments In Never Punish, But Always Reward I love the 1-2-3-Magic method by Thomas Phalen. I deal with foster children and this method is magic! It's a counting method. He suggest the five second rule to get to number two. Many times I waited too long. Then he suggests "No talk, no emotion." The child already knows what they did wrong. Lectures and nagging only gives into their behaviors and gives them attention. I love the book and highly recommend it!

In Single Parent Christmas That idea is so cool! I know your predicament because I was there this past Christmas. I felt the same way watching the kids open all their gifts. I actually felt some jealousy thinking I did not have anything this year. Thank you for the idea! I have three cats and a dog! I am going shopping!
