Pro-Active Parenting Giveaway

So remember my post about Pro-Active parenting with the awesome article about making life more simple during those busy after dinner hours?  Well they’re back!

Pro-Active is a wonderful resource for any of us with young children.  Sharon provides you with real solutions to deal with the most commonly seen acts of defiance from our little ones as they become more independent.  Not only that but Sharon shows us the point of view of our children.  Its so easy for us to look at things in the adult way, without taking into consideration a younger point of view.

One of the biggest awakening moments for me was Sharon’s view on why it can be so difficult for our children to clean up their rooms.  After listening to Pro-Active’s series clean up time has gotten so much easier.  Giving them small jobs to complete one at a time makes it easier for them to follow along.  Instead of overwhelming them with the entire job in one go, breaking it up into pieces has been a wonderful tool.

My biggest parenting struggle is to get the children's trust so that they will come to me with their problems not anyone else ...
