My child... What about yours?

[Jedi_Will]

I have a daughter.  I've never spanked in my life.  She is a true genius and I think many parents forgoe learning their children when trying to discipline.  Let's hear them out always and put yourself in their shoes before jumping the gun!

I don't spank my children, I feel it just makes them rebel. I also agree with putting yourself in their shoes.

What kind of lessons have you learned from your kids?

My daughter taught me that it doesn't matter what you play with them, as long as you're there playing.

Kid's just want that bond of knowing their parents can take time for them, no matter what yall are doing together. For example...Maddie hates when I do dishes. She will pull on my pants to get me away from the sink. So to fix this issue, I started pulling up a chair and letting her play in the clean side of the sink helping me rinse the washed dishes. She loves it! Just a way for us to spend time together even while cleaning! When I was cleaning out the fridge one day, she came in with her baby wipes and started to "clean" it with me. It was a proud mom moment, and she was proud of herself too lol.

Well... I was recently busy with some writing. My niece and nephew came in and started jumping on the bed. I wanted to tell them to get lost. They aren't my kids, but I am related, and they think of me as so cool, amazing and awesome. But I feel how annoying they can be.

My daughter, on the other hand, is super chill. She'd rather be doing her own thing. Sometimes we will be doing our own activity, but never interacting. It's just being there and knowing we have each other. Of course, its not like that now.

It seems like kids and adults use each other to keep themselves from bordem and also to have that feeling of safety.
