Alyson always has so many amazing insights! I have read every book and taken her 6 week parenting course. It was the best thing we did as parents
Wow! Sounds like something every parent should do, Kathryn!
Kathryn and Christine – I can tell you as a trained psychotherapist, THIS was the most fascinating part of human psychology to learn. There are so many underlying factors that can create friction in a family if not handled well. I can’t wait to chat with the PTPA parent community about this.
Alyson:
I’m so looking forward to the chat next week! Thank you for sharing with us and the rest of the PTPA parent community!
Looking forward to popping in for this chat.
Maybe it’ll shed some light on why my sister & I fought like cats and dogs growing up! :p
This would really come in handy. All the kids are at that fighting age in my family and it drives me up the wall. Can’t seem to get a handle on it all the time.
Yes yes yes I am dealing with this daily! But it’s normal right?
Let’s say – its “normal” but that doesn’t mean it isn’t to be dealt with in a certain way to help minimize.
