Book Smart?

In my Wonderful World Of Boys, I've been learning that Parenting Isn't For Cowards and that What Every Mom Needs might be more than Solid Answers. Speaking Of Boys, this Mother's Heart was pounding out of my chest once again yesterday as my Strong Willed Child refused to go to school. Again. This Real Mom was unsuccessful in getting said child into the gym.

I decided to take a different approach and endeavored to simulate a miserable existence at home. If he didn't want to go to school, I was going to make sure The Five Love Languages Of Children ceased to exist at my house for the stubborn one.

Suffice it to say that yesterday, I definitely didn't Grow Compassionate Kids.

Upon arriving home, I Tempered My Child's Tantrum by instructing him to sit on the entry way rug with his hands in his lap for the entire day. And sit he did. Forget Coaching Your Kids To Be Leaders, I just wanted him to remember that it's no fun at home when you refuse to go to school. As I perused various parenting resources, (i.e. the Love and Logic website, Life Application Study Bible) A Mother's Heart was far from my state of mind and the Power Of A Postive Mom was experiencing a total blackout. Bringing Up Boys is no easy task and I still haven't been able to decode how I can Nurture By Nature. All Mothers are Working Mothers and sometimes I just wish I got the state mandated 30 minute lunch.
