We've been struggling with Jonathan's weak will while still working on Emahry's a little as well and with the baby beginning to show some weakness of will, too. Needless to say it's been tough. My weakness of will has been emerging more. Thank you for the reminder to practice self-control when teaching my littles to do the same. I'm going to start by making sure I'm training my own weak will today.<br /><br />Hope your day is filled with blessings!<br />~AllysonTim, Allyson, and kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783456001791140306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-5315217433273993052010-10-12T00:31:28.728-04:002010-10-12T00:31:28.728-04:00Wonderful post!

I also agree that it is worth it in the long run to train the weak will (even if it is my own).Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-3165239975952522492010-10-11T22:52:38.793-04:002010-10-11T22:52:38.793-04:00YES YES YES YES YES and YEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!! it'...YES YES YES YES YES and YEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!! it's so nice to see another momma on the same lines as me! i saw an incident today where the momma gave right on in to the fits...it's so frustrating to see, and i realize i parent MY children and no one elses. :)amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189348512265390836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-9234998752769621032010-10-11T18:03:07.159-04:002010-10-11T18:03:07.159-04:00With just one "weak-willed" child at my ...With just one "weak-willed" child at my house, my days can be challenging.

Peanut is definitely my STRONG WILLED CHILD, but instead of hanging on my leg whining, he would have bolted and gone on his own. I would be yelling at him from the sidelines or chasing him down while nursing the babe. I am at my wits end and have DONE EVERYTHING that the books say to do! I am in SURVIVAL mode with this kiddo! :) Thanks for the insight!Hyperactive Luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759058185836810901noreply@blogger.com
