Positive Discipline

I have found that Positive Discipline really works! Mason my son has/had some issues. He was an mad little guy whom always cried. Most of the time he was kicking and screaming. Head banging was a big issues in our home, he would even hit himself, or punch me. With Positive Discipline Mason's anger is less and now he knows how to express himself in a positive way.

"Time outs" have become "cool offs", I made a corner in my living room where My kids can Cool off, we call it Antarctica, there are polar bears, and snow. I even sit there when I need to cool off. We all sit and chill so we can solve the problem instead of fighting about it. My kids really have come along way because of this.

We do stumble on hard times, and we're working on getting dressed and taking a bath, but I think it has gotten better. At least I've learned to keep my cool. I know everyone has their bad days and to stay calm in the hard times make the hard times seem less, and they don't last as long. Instead of screaming and yelling for 3 hours, he screams and yells for 10 minutess and stops. It really works and I think we're going to be a great family very soon. I love my children but sometimes they can push but buttons, as long as thgey don't know their pushing my buttons we're all good.
