blogging2 I agree 110%. Personally I think that if they are worried aboutthe child not eating that child needs to be taken from the parent. Period. The parent is not teaching them anything and lord knows I make sacrifices for my daughter every day. I do it willingly,...

blogging2 Hopefully you get results as well. I didn't do all of the steps either (I didn't advertise in my emails), but I am still seeing results. If you do that step please let me know how it goes and I may add it myself. I did the most unobtrusive cheap way, but then...

Just the other day a guy approached me in the parking lot when I was heading to my car with groceries. For the most part I really try to get away from people who do this, or people who stand by the freeway exits with signs saying...

blogging2 I agree 110%. Somehow it seems that in the world today we are the "mean" "jaded" "upset" ones when in reality I am protecting my own. I can not afford to give to every child that comes up, and unfortunately it is a mob effect if you do give to one the others...

blogging2 Very interesting response and exactly what I am talking about... My daughter is NOT perfect, as I said I reprimand her quite a bit. But she does know to wait her turn (something we continually work on, and I think it is important that she learns such...

blogging2 I agree with you 100%, my husband and I have talked many times that if we had not gotten married then I would qualify for assistance, but that is not what we want to teach our children! I just don't know how in the world to change it, but we are already seeing...

blogging2 I understand completely, that is part of why I didn't reprimand mine even though I normally would for telling another child "no." It really isn't her place and I know that, but I would rather her stand up for herself. It is just hard that our children are even...
