Thanks for that Heather. I've got 2 kids that really struggle with math - especially division. I'm definitely going to check this out.

Yeah, if you can get them to say what they're going to do next time, that's good. So instead of "I'm not going to hit him" it's "I'm going to go to my room to calm down". Make them come up with an action plan to avoid the offensive behavior.
Yes they do, but there comes a time when the gravitate to their dad.
Cool that you have 2 boys. I have 4 boys and one girl. We love raising boys!
Hi Amy, thanks for joining. Looks like you've got some great products, I hope you'll find some interest here.

- Thank you for having me here.
I'm rather shy in the beginning, but I'm sure as time goes by I will open up more.
Hope I can learn and contribute as well.

- Hopefully you'll get the IM cranked up to the point of supporting you. It's definitely the way to go, though it is slow going for me anyway. I'm about do delve into the video (YouTube) world, see how that works!

Duane LaBonte said… - Hey Matt,
You surely have your hands full! Right now I am full time stay at home dad. I am doing some IM but not enough to make ends meet...that will come. My little guy is going to school (pre primary), so he is gone during the week days. My daughter is 18m and home with me. We have just started to send her to a babysitter a couple days a week so I can focus on IM. I was laid off from the auto industry last year and decided to stay home. With only my wife's income, I find I am spending more of my time looking for work outside the house till I get this IM thing generating a substantial income. But it will happen.

Age Appropriate Behaviors
Most of my articles come from real-life experiences, and this one is no different. I had just gone 15 rounds with 3 of my kids trying to get them to school on time, and I was worn out. It seemed to me that this had been a pretty regular thing lately, and I started thinking to myself "What am I doing wrong?" My mind went down that path a little way, but not too far, since that way was looking like this might be my fault. So, I took a little detour off that path and thought "Maybe I'm expecting to… Continue

Oppositional Defiant Disorder - One Battle After Another
I'm the parent of five adopted kids, and I'm here to tell you that I know a little about oppositional defiance disorder in children, or ODD for short. James Lehman, behavioral therapist and creator of The Total Transformation Program for parents, says that a day with a child with oppositional defiance behavior is a series of battles in an undeclared war. It starts when they wake up, continues at breakfast, intensifies when they have to get dressed, and doesnt end until they fight with you over b… Continue
