About Me
- chinatammy
- Well. . . we met each other in college and over the course of time became really good friends, fell in love and soon realized that not only did we not want to "do" life without each other but that we couldn't bear the thought of it. We soon married, and almost eight years later we have added 2 kids to our family! Although marriage changes and matures with time and kids. . . we count it a privilege to be married and doing life side by side. We pray we are still just as much in love as we were 8 years ago!

This is good timing...I was just at a friend's today...they have a 1yr old and we were talking about discipline. It's amazing how many people try to do things according to the ways of the world and not according to His Word. I think the "rod" is very necessary. Sometimes when we're in public that equals my fingers pinching the back of the leg...that's been pretty effective.
My friend was reading a book by a guy name Reb Bradley called "Child Training Tips" which he highly recommended. I'll try to pick it up from half.com and let you know how it is. Maybe you can do a search online for him and find some info from his teaching.
Best advice from me is to be firm and be consistent in discipline. I know it's not always easy :)
Hope this helps!
I think it depends sometimes on the reason for the tantrum. Is she tired? Are you asking too much? (I try to give my kids more grace when I'm dragging them to the 5th store). But I think the more you deal with it at home, the less of an issue it is in public.
Be consistent and don't give in to the pressure of other people watching. :)
Tammy, you asked on my blog about the hungry ghosts. I never heard about it while I lived there, but I would think it would be celebrated by some, because it seems more superstitious than religious. I would ask about it if I were you - could start some interesting conversations.
