Thanks for the great advice!

I loved reading the tips and tricks you left when entering the Cleaning House giveaway!  (PS: congrats to Danielle and Wendy, the two winners.  Your copies of the book are on their way.)

Here are a few of my favorite tips you shared:
  • Sing songs and make songs. (It helps everyone stay in a better mood.)
  • Praise often
  • Spend individual time with each child
  • Give your children choices (even between a red shirt of a blue) to help prevent power struggles
  • Practice desired behavior before the challenge arrives.  For example, practice how to behave at the grocery store before going!
We have so much to share with and learn from one another!  Thanks for sharing!
