This little girl's imagination has blown me away! This little girl's imagination has blown me away! She loves building with blocks and @legosouthafrica Duplo! She was well stocked with new Duplo for her birthday and has loved it! 
She has also taken to pulling down her changing mat and the wipes and digging in the cupboard for nappies or @biddykinssa cloth nappies. Then a nappy changing session ensues. I love watching her thoughts displayed in her games.

Do we need to shout at them to do this? Do we need Do we need to shout at them to do this? Do we need to give them hidings to achieve this? Not necessarily. Do we need to be firm? Yes. Do we need boundaries? Yes. Do we need our own self-control? Yes! Do we need love and to seek their growth not our boost our ego? Yes! There is a balance. I pray I get it right!

I hear you, Karen. And Shirley. And Deborah. AND y I hear you, Karen. And Shirley. And Deborah. AND you too Felicia! 

Do you hear them all too? Each time your child performs and you react, do you also hear the voices of every single other mother you know and even those you don't scolding you in your head? I think I know how I want to parent. I know what I want the end product to be. But suddenly,  when I find myself in the thick of choosing consequences and discipline methods, I cower under the disapproving looks I think I feel boring into my back. I stutter as I hear the tut-tut echo in my mind. And I question my worth and my parenting. 

Because I parent differently. I'm old school. Are you ready for #unpopularopinion ?? 
I don't do gentle parenting. I am not my child's friend. I am her parent. My word goes. I do believe in repenting when I wrong them. I do believe that I make the wrong decisions because no one is perfect. I do believe that I react in anger at times and that's wrong.

But I think that children need (firm) boundaries. I am not here to negotiate. I'm here to teach and train and guide. With love. Yes, it can be done with love.

But then, each time I scold, each time I close the bathroom door with a tantrum going down on the other side, each time I take toys away or give them their dinner for breakfast, I hear you scorning me, Karen. I feel you judging me, Shirley.  And in those moments, I feel like I know nothing at all and I'm doing a bad job!

Yes, my children were fighting. So I took away the toys and put them in their rooms.

Anyone else hear voices in their head?

(Disclaimer: I know no women by these names)

I love that there is a verse in the Bible about pa I love that there is a verse in the Bible about parents disciplining in the best way they know how. God knows, in our fallen state, that we are trying...

My darling baby! I can't believe we have packed aw My darling baby! I can't believe we have packed away the cot, weaned you off of breastmilk and said goodbye to your baby years! You are an independent little soul with an imagination that surely rivals other two-year-olds!

Happy Birthday my Babe!
