Family Issues
Good Morning,
We just spent the last couple of days playing in the sunshine at a local park. I had the opportunity to observe lots of parents interacting with their little toddlers. You really can see in those first precious years of life how much parents teach their children about personal power, tenacity, fear, self worth, compassion, and aggression. The more I watch various parenting styles, the more I am convinced that how you handle the toddler years determines what kind of teenager you will have.
take care,
Skye Thomas

Feature Article of the Week:

We call him the Buddha Napoleon. Anyone who’s ever lived with a two year old knows exactly what I’m talking about. He’s this amazing blend of cosmic beauty, love, and peace while simultaneously making it crystal clear that he’s the grand dictator of the known universe. His little size never deters him from anything he sets his mind to. I’d forgotten so much since raising my first two children. The ten and twelve year age difference allows for that. Lucky for the Buddha Napoleon, I’ve had practice and am therefore a lot more knowledgeable and patient this time around.
I believe this is probably the most important year for his social development. During
the first year of a baby’s life, we’re supposed to set a solid foundation of love
and trust. That first year puts in place a basic belief that the world is a wonderful
place full of love and light, or it’s not. The second year, we teach them to believe
in themselves. Get up and walk, learn to speak, learn to manipulate toys, learn
that ever important can-
Remember back to when you were thirteen… did your folks answer your questions with,
“Because I said so” or did they actually give you real reasons for their decisions?
Which had a bigger impact on your ability to honor and respect their viewpoint?
It’s no different with two-

Give your child the right to say “No.” Tell your two-
The key to this is to teach your child about presentation and about listening skills. It’s okay to disagree with me, but you can’t scream and yell and kick. It’s okay to tell me no, but you also have to listen to my side of the argument too. You then have to role model what it is you want from them. You have to listen to their reasons and then they have to listen to yours. Teach them negotiation skills. Teach them how to say no so that it’s not offensive. Sure it’s a lot easier to just deny them the right to disagree, but it’ll come back on you when they’re teenagers. Almost everyone disagreed with me when I gave my older two kids permission to question authority and to openly argue their point. I just made sure they were polite and respectful while doing so. Their teachers and babysitters weren’t always thrilled, but communications were always open and honest and understandings were always reached. My older two have a solid belief in setting personal boundaries and not allowing others to take advantage. And so does the Buddha Napoleon.
