That’s it – Have a Great Week!
Hi, Just a comment from 17th July in response to Stina’s comment about discipline where she said “She doesn’t have a lovey or anything she cares enough about for me to take away.” I presume she’s meaning a teddy or doll some children carry around with them? If this is so, I would think it very traumatic for a child to have its ‘security toy’ taken away from them as punishment even if only temporarily. But that’s just my personal opinion … I have no paediatric or psychology degree …. just the experience of being a Mom! Thanks for a great blog as always.
Hi S, I am aiming to post a discipline post this week, with lots of resources and ideas… and I think we will more than cover the topic and everyone can make their comments and suggestions there! You have a good week!!!
