I commiserate with your preschool filled home! :-) We have three preschool aged kids in the home along with two pre-teens, so like you I realized I was spending way too much time talking and needed to course correct. I will be posting about the experience this weekend for sure, but am also hoping this was just the first step in some big lifestyle changes that will bring the calm back into our home. Where is your three year old waiting? Exciting times!Clara Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12455144709881447861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459125097671585218.post-25080615757965779172012-07-13T14:05:06.644-04:002012-07-13T14:05:06.644-04:00I'd like to try this.

I am momma to two Ethiopian toddlers (ages 2 1/2 and 22 months) and find that I spend way too much time in correction (i.e. yelling) and not nearly enough in encouragement. I've got one more nearly 3 year old waiting for me in Ethiopia, so I know the house is only going to get more chaotic. I just saw your post today. I appreciate how honestly you describe your difficulties and your prayerful approach to creating a peaceful and happy home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459125097671585218.post-84667396653160174002012-07-07T09:31:58.421-04:002012-07-07T09:31:58.421-04:00L, that would be great!

There is some other training I will be completing after this with my husband, but I just want to calm myself down first. :-)Clara Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12455144709881447861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459125097671585218.post-77528338483463608122012-07-07T09:31:18.644-04:002012-07-07T09:31:18.644-04:00Thanks for this post.

For the past year, I've been praying for peace in our home. Maybe this experiment could be a great turning point.<br />-LGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459125097671585218.post-26318090761724642402012-07-07T09:30:50.949-04:002012-07-07T09:30:50.949-04:00Love the concept!
