I established an incredible system for parenting children without yelling! It is a system that has eliminated our anger and yelling inour home...it has taught our children to be responsible for their choices and if they choose to cross a boundary then they are choosing a consequence. They also choose awards when they are caught being wonderful! I have set this up like a game so it is exciting and fun while life changing at the same time. My 9 yr old is mildly autistic and my 17 yr old is a "typical" child. I had extreme ages and extreme needs- however I have tested this on many many families and have never had a failure. Being a mom and dad is the easy part, parenting is where the work is! Our children deserve the best, they deserve our efforts to help them be the best they can be! www.parentinpeace.com ENJOY!

Inconvenient, annoying, troubling, yes, but just wait...so much to look forward to! :0) I have four kids, and I have to say that the rebellion of a 7 or 4 year old is truly nothing compared to the mind games of a preteen and teenager.

My parents would not tolerate such behavior and I certainly did not. My son knew by time he was two to do what I said without giving me any grief. He was scared to death of me and rightly so. Now is his a 22 year old grad student at the top of his class and his professors have thanked me for raising such a well behaved and disciplined child. No adult should ever put themselves in the position of being inconvenienced or stressed by a child of any age. I don’t understand how a child is allowed to be “rebellious”.

Extreme pickiness regarding food, sudden and frequent tears, acting out in front of family friends...it can seem like your preschooler is out to purposely make your life more difficult! Your child may go through several rebellions of one sort of another. For parents going through this, take comfort in the fact that they really do pass. And remember, small everyday issues can overwhelm a young child. Be firm and patient, and eventually you'll see your child outgrow this phase.
