Carey J’s comments from the 1 Rotation group.

Trying something new this week. We may stick with this, but I am not sure yet. I will let you know next week. We are only going to have one thread each week and you will need to respond to all three prompts on this one thread (instead of three). Let’s give it a try. Let me know if you like or dislike this way.

This last weekend, I found myself getting into a power struggle with my three year old kids, so on Sunday night, I downloaded this to my iPad.

So far, it is pretty good, but I do get a little annoyed by the know-it-all tone of most parenting books, but there is certainly some good information about connecting with my kids and making sure I am the captain of the ship---calm and confident.

I am about 45% done.
