The breakfast champion... Kids Activities Blog

Fig. A:*Do as I say, not as I do.*

I have been a big believer in something I came across while pregnant with Ryan. I read every parenting book ever written during that time so please don't make me tell you which ane it was, but I remember it was in the "Baby Whisperer". The quote is lost on me, but it said something to the bespeak that yous need to Commencement as you program to PROCEED.

The technique is really successful. Most things in this business firm have been parented in this mode…naps, bedtime, sitting at mealtime, snacks simply in the kitchen, etc. The kids are likewise young to argue when you implement it and then when they accomplish arguing age it is the style it has ever been washed then the contend doesn't surface.

1 expanse has Non received this technique. Breakfast. It started out innocent plenty. Breakfast seemed to be the time that I had the about time. Breakfast seemed to be the time I could break a few rules. Breakfast became the time the kids could cull what they wanted to swallow. Breakfast is at present spiraling out of control. Breakfast is at present a crazy train and I want off.

Let's have a await at Fig. A (above):
Our bailiwick is a two y/o who woke mommy up at half-dozen am. saying, "Consume!". His patient mother held off that demand for 30 minutes considering it is Sat. At half-dozen:31 am the subject area ate i one/2 bowls of instant oatmeal and 1/2 cup of soymilk. He then yelled, "DONE!"

Approximately 23 minutes later he returns to the kitchen, pulls the Quaker oat box out of the pantry and demands "OATMEAL". His patient and attractive mother quietly explains how he already had oatmeal. "THIS OATMEAL!" he screams. His patient, bonny and loving female parent thinks to herself, "well at least he is screaming for something healthy…I guess I can't plough that down". PAUSE

*Practice equally I say, non as I practice.*

7 minutes after the oatmeal is fabricated. The oatmeal is portioned and set in front of subject. Subject area screams, "FRIDGE! HOT!" His patient, attractive, loving and helpful mother delivers the kid size oatmeal portion to the freezer to cool down. Pause

*Exercise every bit I say, not as I do.*

Subject field continues to be a majestic pain in the barrel while the oatmeal is in the fridge. His patient, attractive, loving, helpful and opportunistic mother and so grabs the camera to accept the Fig. A motion-picture show of this tyranny. Break

*You can do this. If you are suffering at the hands of your children and losing control, it tin at least give yous a blog subject for the twenty-four hours. It is kind of a lemonade out of lemons thing.*

His patient, attractive, loving, helpful, opportunistic and harried mother takes the kid size oatmeal portion out of the freezer and gives it back to the subject area. The subject takes five bites and yells, "TOAST!" PAUSE

*Do equally I say, not as I do.*

Ya, the freaking crazy mother made toast while Figs. B and C entered the kitchen.

*Let'south merely leave information technology at do as I say, not as I do…
