More often than not I feel like I’m stumbling in the dark and crashing into some rather fragile things. [...]

Another installment in my Positive Discipline articles.
We’re hitting that lovely stage here in Jen’s World where Sweetness is all about the boundary testing. If I haven’t said her name in a kind but firm tone at least 3,867 times in a day, I’ve just not done my job. She’s throwing blocks, kicking the dog, pushing [...]

I’m totally psyched about all the responses my post about sleep for Mommy and Molly has received. Poor Alissa has been having a heck of a time and I sure hope we’ve all helped offer her some good tools to put to work. To be totally honest, I was a little nervous writing on such [...]

We’ve been working on potty training. And when I say working, I really mean Mommy has been begging, trying, talking about, reading a million annoying books about, and basically hating the whole potty training thing. So far Sweetness has mastered grabbing her full diaper and announcing she wants to sit on the potty. After months [...]
