Aloha Polly,
A subject near and dear to my heart! I became a parent educator over 10 years ago because of my most challenging parenting job, my middle child! I am so grateful for what I learned in that class.

My daughter is incredibly persistent, determined and focused. She used to drive me nuts! During my first “Redirecting Childrens Behavior” class, my teacher encouraged me to read “Raising Your Spirited Child”. Thanks goodness I did. My then 3 year old daughter became my hero from reading that book.

She still pushes me to the limits, requiring me to fine tune my parenting skills, but I must say that she is still my hero, so even at the most difficult times, it’s still easy to love her unconditionally.

Don’t you just love life? If you follow your intuition, you are guided to just the instruction you need, just when you need it most!

I say that staying connected to your child is just as important as housing, clothing and feeding them!

Stay connected to your child,
Stay connected to your child,
Stay connected work together,
Stay connected to your child. (To the tune of Happy Birthday!)

Many blessings,
Carrie

As a mom I know it’s something that I struggle with everyday! We are pulled in so many directions that it’s often easy to overlook our little ones when they want to talk to us. I do it all the time! It’s something we can all strive to do a better job of, me included. Thanks for stopping by and for your thoughtful comment!

Hi Polly,
I found your site from the 31DBBB Challenge. I really like the overlook of your blog!

What a great post especially for Valentines’s Day. I’m a single mom and lately I feel like I am doing what you said to not to in regards to listening. It’s not that I don’t listen, I just feel like I’m doing too many things at once, always telling them, “one second” or “I can’t right now I’m in the middle of something.” They are young 5 and 2 years and I don’t want this to be the beginning of them not coming to me later in life because they think I don’t care enough so why bother or what they are feeling or going through isn’t important to me. Thanks for the wake up call. This is something I need to definitely pay closer attention to.

Thank you!
