Boundries with Kids

We are doing this excellent study in Care Group. It is called Boundries with Kids.

Well it has been great so far. The videos are a little cheesy, but the points they make on childrearing are excellent.

One thing they said yesterday in the video was to make sure you children know, they can't always control their emotions but they can always control their behavior. So sure something makes them mad, it is ok to be mad, but it is not ok to hit right........ You know, some adults dont get that concept.
They think because this person did something that caused them to be upset that it is ok to hurt that person or someone else because they are upset.
My kids need to learn this lesson as well. We have been working hard at it.
It is tough to get.


I have been telling Trevor, when he gets mad and hits the wall, that it is ok to be mad and feel irritated, but it is not ok to hit the wall, you can use your words and talk about how your feeling, you dont have to show it with your body. He is starting to get it. The other day he growled and said IM MAD!! and walked off and that was the end of it. I would deem that a success.
