Consistency is key. Establish rules and hold him to it. My son tries this with me, this morning he got grounded for the night for talking back. You have to love him enough to be firm, spoiling him teaches him nothing. Oh no, wait... it does. It teaches him that you will reward him for bad behavior because you feel guilty. I've been where you are, and my words are not meant to be harsh.... just how it is. Kids need rules, boundaries, and CONSISTENT outcomes every time to feel safe and secure. Oh and hitting him when he is bad teaches him hitting is okay.... really it does. also on supernanny x |

put him in a time out, or take away something (a toy) that means the world to him. Good Luck Well, I was going to talk him to his favorite place today before school starts, but now I feel if I do...then I have just lost the battle. My feelings are sooooo hurt... Tell him if he sits there you will take him out and if he doesn't then you wont. If he does as you say then take him as agreed if he doesn't don't. Simple. Then next time you ask him to sit on the thinking pond, naughty step or whatever he will more than likely do as you ask because he knows he either gets affection or misses out. If you take him out tell him its mummy time. Be firm. Dont tell him nicely when you tell him to stop. Make him actually listen when he is talking to you or has calmed down. Otherwise he just wont take it in xx |

If he hits you say three times then put him in the naughty corner, naughty step or naughty thinking pond (use your imagination)for three minutes. Tell him exactly what he has done and make him stay there. Afterwards give him a cuddle ask him to apologise and tell him he hurt your feelings.
Ty spending "mummy and son" time with him for half an hour every day to prvent him doing it again. |

Lie on a grassy mound and gaze into the sky.
Such marvels can be seen. Hope held in a cloud wandering across an ocean of blue, Makes me long for a life worth living. Far beyond our reach, the cloud floats protected. We wish for the grey to dispense, To be able to see the truth that lay in the sky. These stories are our brief moment of chance, To be free. When you are able to admire the honesty held in the sky, You will smile. Nothing matters then. With everyone laid side by side holding hands, While our dreams pass by the new wall of mankind. That day has yet to come, Many more must rise to die before it can become “today.” So we keep walking forward and go on with our lives. Spend time with our friends and talk about this. Never forgetting to stare at the sky. Praying that the path will soon be forged, As we sit on a cloud and float on high. Until that day we live here. Here on this rock carved out of fear. The jagged lies we speak jolt into the sky. The Shame is hidden deep below our burden of greed. Accept fate and everything will be fine. No surprises will ever arise, If you plan for that which cannot be. Well, the days are blurring together now, As I lay on a grassy mound, Dreaming. Staring. Praying, The truth I found would stay. Dreaming. Wishing. Singing, “One day, one day. One day |

A Sad Story About Happiness Where is it that the grass grows green? For all I see in this life is nothing more than a life filled with weeds. The death that appears in the mirror isn't me But what I have become through the pain of those words, the darkness of this shadow, the hatred of the world. You say the road less traveled is more favorable. Well let me tell ya' lass, from experience, the roads may twist and turn but the destination is always the same. It's all a matter of distance really, All the roads reunite at a destined point that we can't escape. This is really the oly true aspect of fate. So I ask if you would prefer to walk alone on stones, or together in thorns? Because my path was chosen long ago by a man far wiser than I. He spoke to me softly and said, "This wont be easy, but son, it's what has to be." All I did was smile. Smile in that hallway mirror of the Fathers house. The day I lost my faith was siply great. For once there was sun on my horizen. A life that I am able to choose is glorious compared to one predetermined by you. So I drink the potion and forget my past. this may be upsetting news, But I have lived with this weight all my life and you have claimed to understand. Now I spend my days thinking of one one but myself. I know this sounds selfish, but the truth of the matter is, that you haven't even heard of the places I have been. I spoke calmly of my past, But the reality is that it hurts. It hurts to remember all the nights I coldn't sleep, While my mother laid crying on the floor by the window. The look in her eyes plagues me still. Now and forever until the release from this life comes to me. Maybe on that day, I will be shown what it truely means to be free. |

So I ask you would you prefer to walk alone o stones or together in thorns? A question that provokes thought. I learnt together in thorns is the easier way xx How big are these stones? Are we talking rose thorns or say locust? With whom am I traveling? Those kind of questions need to be quantified. them flat beautiful ones that are really easy to walk on. we are saying thorns enough to cut your skin. And you are travelling with the person whome you love most you dont appreciate the poetic message lol Poetically, it's beautiful. But the truisms of life also must be quantified. I liked the example used in "Stranger Than Fiction:" One must first take into account the type of life being led, and of course the quality of the pancakes. - Prof. Hibberd. The same can be said of your analogy. One must first take into account the type of thorn to be walked on, and of course the quality of the company with which you walk. i used that in one of my poems x |

Be true to yourself...if you are happy with who you are it matters little what anyone else thinks.... Never make someone a priority that only makes you an option... Friends are the family that we choose with our hearts.... If they would cheat with you eventually they would cheat on you.... Be a lady on his arm and a fantasy in his bed.... Always give any task your best effort you never know who is depending on you.... Never lose sight of your dreams..... WOW!!!!!!! and I thought it was only me |
