I couldn't concentrate on driving so the second week, I had a brainstorm. We talked about how school is stressful for the youngsters and came up with a plan. When I pick up him and his sister, we all plug our ears and yell out the day's stress when we are in the car. <br /><br />This totally turned things around for us! He has stopped having the fits after school and I notice I feel better too! My daughter turned it into a "no process" and yells things like, "Don't tell me to be quiet!" during the yelling time. <br /><br />It's a fun way to discharge the stress. Might be worth trying with your little guy.Dreena M.

It's like we're parenting newbies or something. And then we spend every Friday thinking, "I'm not going to lie - I would NOT be crying if it rains tomorrow and all the games are cancelled!" Sigh.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999838147173390906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-24981319768660071542014-09-05T10:04:55.589-04:002014-09-05T10:04:55.589-04:00So funny about the lettuce.

But 3 years later there's still a pineapple plant in my house. (And we have definitely bought pineapple since then too.) Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17721349139975265768noreply@blogger.com
