This week has been a tough one with my little Jensen. Pushing boundaries and seeing how far he can take certain situations, talking back and being utterly defiant. It’s been a struggle but I am trying my hardest to kill him with kindness so to speak and not resorting to giving “time outs” like I used to in the past (clearly not working anymore) Instead offering solutions based on options. i.e.. instead of “eat your dinner or you’re going right to bed”, I offer him a choice – “Would you like to stay here and eat your dinner or would you like to go straight to bed?” It takes his train of thought from, ‘this is what I want to do’ to ‘these are my choices’ . It seems to be working as of now but we’ll see how long until he catches on haha.
I loved looking through these. Such beautiful children and such gorgeous light you captured. I’m trying to be better at capturing my children in their everyday moments…thank you for the inspiration.
You have such a beautiful family Jayme, and such a loving, tender heart for them. It’s evident in the words you write and the pictures you share. <3
