My four year old started preschool last week and his first review was not great! The teacher said he was kind of aggressive! As a parent I automatically looked at my-self and thought what have I done wrong? What could I change? Was I too late?  I started researching on line about his different behavior and if I was the only parent with this problem. I found out I wasnt and that was relief. So I went to my local library and found this great book called " How to behave so my preschooler will too" this book showed me that I just had to adjust my parenting style to my childs temperment. Every kid has different temperments and need different punishment and reward styles. I thought the only kind of punishment was spanking because that is how my mother punished me. I found out that was problem number one.Spanking is definitley not the answer it only solves the problem right then and there but not long term. I started to do the time out corner and is really woking with my son. At first i thought that there is no way this would work on my very active preschooler but, it did!  He is already showing approvement with only two weeks of this typr of punishment. I highley reccomend this book it is my parent bible.

Really the more education you have on they right way to raise your child the better off you will be. I have learned that the busier  you keep your children the less mischief they get into which means way less frustration for you! I went down to the local doller tree and bought about 20.00 dollers worth of arts and crafts for me to keep these kids busy... now every time they are getting restless I pull out some activites for us to do together... also reading stories takes up some time in the day and my children absolutley love books..

Here are just some thought as my journey continues in trying to discpline and teach my children im going to keep you informed.
