Whe...That is exactly how I raised my kids as well. When I first left my husband when my daughters were just 3 and 10 months old, I was terrified to raise them by myself. I took a "STEP" Systematic Training for Effective Parenting class on the recommendation of some friends and it was the best thing I ever did! The lessons I took from it were similar to yours:<br /><br />1. Consistency - if you say no, you better mean it because there is no going back!<br />2. Natural and logical consequences - especially helpful in the teen years (Mom, can I go to the movies with my friends. Yes, as soon as you have completed your chores. Chores not done = no movie)<br />3. Follow Through - if you're going to threaten (or promise), you must follow through (if you continue to misbehave in the store, we are leaving and you will be having a nap - and then actually leave!)<br />Terri in BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362926850196381066noreply@blogger.com
