3. TODDLER TANTRUM TACTICS
Sneak Peek:
Last week I wrote a post about my son hitting the tantrum stage and a bit about what I was learning through that. After posting I got an overwhelming amount of comments from mamas sharing that they are going through the same thing right now. It was so comforting to know I’m not the only one with an unruly toddler today.

4. WHAT I NEED TO TELL HIM BEFORE HE IS 10
Sneak Peek:
If you told me that I had kids that were old enough to write this post, I ™d tell you that you were crazy. That’s how fast time sneaks up on you. One day they are toddlers wanting to spend time with only you and the next day they are almost teenagers, wanting to spend their time playing outside with friends. It goes faster than we know.

5. ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT? DO YOU EVEN HAVE KIDS?
Sneak Peek:
Enjoy every minute of it is the most well-meaning piece of parenting advice, and yet, the most ridiculously delusional. This sentiment is the hallmark of parents suffering from some kind of advanced parental amnesia where the reality of having kids has been replaced with the idea that a gratitude journal is the answer to all of life’s problems. While I envy the amnesia, in the midst of parenting the only thing a gratitude journal is good for is hiding the cover of Fifty Shades of Grey at the playground. (I know none of you read it. It sold 100 millions copies because I’m the only one who read it.)

7. WHY IT’S GREAT TO HAVE A STUBBORN CHILD
Sneak Peek:
Years ago, in preschool, a teacher sent my youngest child, Ainsley, to sit by herself until she was ready to talk about something she’d done wrong. She sat through circle time. She sat through snack time. She sat through recess and story time and music. It wasn’t until lunchtime that she finally decided to talk. The teacher was surprised by her determination. Me? Not so much.
Her grandmother, a former school principal, sought to reassure me: You want a strong-willed child. Those are the ones who don’t follow their friends into trouble in high school. That didn’t make me feel better when I faced off against this fiery little creature, who had strong opinions on everything from clothing to bedtime to whether carrot sticks should ever be on the same plate as apple slices.
New research, though, shows that grandma was right.

8. MOTHERHOOD DID NOT TAKE THE WEIRD OUT OF ME
Sneak Peek:
I first realized I was a weird mom before I was technically a mother. I was pregnant, sporting a plump belly and afflicted with unending nausea and a broken rib, and perusing the baby aisle of a Target.

10. THE PARENTING TIP YOU ARE MISSING TO END POWER STRUGGLES
Sneak Peek:
It all started with the elevator buttons. We were leaving the house. I was in a hurry to get him off to school, and I pushed the elevator button. This was the beginning of toddler power struggle number one. He wanted to push the elevator button. He was super frustrated. Pushing the button makes him feel useful and independent at an age when he is highly dependent on help from me.Read more on Military Wife and Mom here.
