This was originally started by Another Monkey, the virtual village refers to the phrase that 'It takes a village to raise a child'.
You are welcome to vent, to ask for advice or to give us the benefit of your experience. The only thing we all seem to have in common is that we are all either ‘in there’ or have ‘been there’.
Perfection is not the goal, we are more about, as monkey brilliantly put it “choosing one thing to be less crap at at a time”.
Books recommended so far:
How To Talk so Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk
When Your Kids Push Your Buttons
The Happiness Project
Calmer Easier Happier Parenting
The Explosive Child
The Highly Sensitive Child
How to be a Better Parent: No Matter How Badly Your Children Behave or How Busy You Are
Potentially useful websites (useful in quite different ways…..)
//www.theorangerhino.com
//www.ahaparenting.com
//www.renegademothering.com
A wide range of potential sources of advice are listed because all our children are different and no book / technique / tactic will suit every family.
A link to the original thread is shown below, and I think Monkeys OP is worth a read as she sums it all up very well…….
