May God be with you.
I can't say enough about Dr. Ray Guarendi.
http://www.drray.com/.
He has written with wit and humor about raising children and all of the various permutations of discipline issue that go along with it!
I just finished his book "Discipline to last a lifetime" GREAT!
He has 10 adopted children from all kinds of social, ethnic, developmental backgrounds. His saintly wife homeschools them all.
If nothing else and you just need a funny pick me up - go to his web site and read some of his stuff.
Some of the many things he writes about are:
-
A Kid's Room: No Place for a House"I'm afraid to go in there without a wilderness survival kit and an oxygen mask; two of her sisters accidentally stumbled into her bedroom about a year ago and were never seen again."
-
Backlooks"Don't look at me in that tone of voice"
God bless you!
