Ever feel like you are trying to cope with every common child behavior problem in the book?
Every single request seems like it’s met with resistance. If someone were to ask you what you are up against in your parenting, you’d shout “everything!”
It’s frustrating
It’s draining
It’s totally upsetting
And it makes parenting feel just about impossible.
What if One Thing Was Causing These All of These Problem Behaviors?
What if we told you that actually, there is one central issue here? That there is one challenge you have to tackle. One thing is driving all these challenging, rigid behaviors?
And that when you understand what that issue is and begin working on it, you’ll see these problem behaviors dissolve.
This week Elle and Abigail are talking about the times when nothing seems right for your child, when every interchange feels like a power struggle, and how you can get to the root of the issue to stop the behaviors that drive you so crazy!

To share, or not to share, is that the question?
So many parents in our parent groups and The Parent Club come to us with questions about sharing, it’s a subject that we knew we had to cover!
Why is sharing such a hot-topic conversation?
Well, sharing brings on big feelings for parents and children and there are so many differing thoughts and views on how to handle sharing.
And sharing can feel unfair, or questionable.
Like when your child demands another child’s toy at a playgroup, for instance, it can feel like second nature to make him or her wait. But when another child demands a toy from yours, we often feel propelled to hand it over.
But, what if we went beyond what fair sharing looks like, and into why sharing so often doesn’t happen? What if we treated the symptom, instead of the problem?
Try This Entirely New Spin on Sharing
So today, Abigail and Elle share an entirely new spin on parenting, with some concrete tools on handling sharing with the children in your lives.

You’re out on vacation and you want to make your friends back home jealous, so you post every detail of your itinerary on Facebook, you tweet about it on Twitter and you check yourself in on Foursquare. It’s natural. We all want to brag about how much fun we’re having away, but what experts say you should be aware of is that all of this information can easily make you a target for burglars… (more)
