Consequences.
In life there are consequences for our actions. Your son needs to learn this early.
Be prepared for this parenting challenge. Start early by gathering information:
Ask your pediatrician for his suggestions on how to handle inappropriate behavior.
Ask him or her to recommend a book that you can read.
Chat with your family and friends. Be open to their ideas.
Check the Internet for sources to review.
Now, you are ready to make a plan, which by the way, will constantly be changing. As your son ages your methods of discipline will also need to change.
Remember Tip # 2. Surround yourself with friends that have sons around the same age as your son. You will learn from each other.
There you go. Another lesson for today. Now, go and love your son in your own special way. Some days are long but, trust me, the years will just disappear.
Love,
